7.
If a second security prompt window opens, click Run again to start the installation
process.

Follow the instructions on the InstallShield Wizard screens to complete the software
program installation.
By default, the software installation creates a
C:\Program Files\Extron\Matrix
Software
or
C:\Program
Files
(x86)\Extron\Matrix
Software
directory
and places two files (MATRIX Switcher+ Control Program [MTRX.exe] and MATRIX
Switcher+ Help [MTRX.hlp]) in it. If there is not already an Extron folder in your
Program Files folder, the installation program creates it as well.
NOTES:
•
The program controls most Extron matrix switchers, but its operation is limited to
the features and configuration of your HDXP.
•
The HDXP switcher can support either RS-232 or RS-422 serial communication
protocol from the rear panel Remote RS232/RS422 connector, and RS-232 from
the front panel Config connector. The HDXP operates at 9600, 19200, 38400, or
115200 baud rates. See
Selecting the RS-232 or RS-422 Protocol and Baud
on page 36 to configure the Remote RS232/RS422 and Config ports from
the front panel.
Software Operation Via Ethernet
When an HDXP switcher is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN, any number of
users can operate it, locally or remotely, using the Matrix Switcher Control Program (see
on page 10 for information on connecting to the network via
Ethernet).
Connection to the switcher via Ethernet can be password protected. There are two levels
of password protection: administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all
HDXP switching capabilities and editing functions. Users can select inputs and outputs,
set and recall presets, and view all settings with the exception of passwords. If the same
password or no password is required for logging on, all personnel are logged on with
administrator privileges. Fields and functions that exceed user privileges are grayed out in
the Matrix Switcher Control Program when the operator is logged on as a user.
Ethernet protocol settings
The IP Settings/Options screen (see
on page 75) provides a location for
viewing. If connected via the RS-232, RS-422, or Ethernet and you are logged on as an
administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface (see
on page 75
for more details).
Special Characters
The HTML language reserves certain characters for specific functions. The switcher does
not accept these characters as part of preset names, the switcher name, passwords, or
locally created file names.
The following characters are invalid or not recommended:
space
(spaces
can be used in
names)
+ ~ , @ = [ ] { } < > ' " ;
(semicolon)
