FOX Extenders Control Program
The Extron FOX Extenders Control Program, which communicates with the FOX DA8 Plus
via the rear panel RS-232 port or the front panel Configuration port of the unit, provides an
easy way to control the DA mute function and set reclocker rates for the inputs.
The program is compatible with Windows
® 2000, Windows XP, Windows 7, and newer
operating systems. Updates to this program can be downloaded from the Extron website
(
www.extron.com ).

The program is contained on the Extron Software Products DVD. Install the software as
follows:
1. Insert the DVD into the drive. The Extron software DVD window should open
