Universal Switcher Control Program
The Extron Universal Switcher Control Program, which communicates with the switcher via
the rear panel RS-232 port or front panel Configuration port of the unit, provides an easy
way to configure and operate the FOX SW8 switcher.
The program is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 7, and newer
Windows 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 installation program should start automatically. If it
does not self-start, run Launch.exe from the DVD.
