Configuration Ports

The MLC 52 can be remotely configured via a host computer connected to the front
panel configuration port (see

Front Panel Components

on page 28). Through this port,

you can program the MLC buttons with commands by using the configuration software
(MLC 52/DVCM 50 Configuration Program). You can also issue certain SIS commands
through this port.

Using the MLC 52/DVCM 50 Configuration Program

To perform advanced configuration tasks (such as setting button modes,
updating firmware, and adding display device drivers), you must use the included

are also accessible via front panel controls described under
