FOX Extender Program Control
The Extron FOX Extender program, which communicates with the transmitter and receiver
pair via the Remote RS-232 port of either unit or the PowerCage Configuration port,
provides an easy way to operate the pair.
The program is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, or later. Updates to this
program can be downloaded from the Extron website (
www.extron.com
).
Installing the Software
The program is contained on a DVD. To install the software, insert the DVD into the drive.
The Extron software DVD window should appear automatically. If it does not self-start, run
Launch.exe from the DVD. Click the Software tab, scroll to the desired program, and click
Install. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen. By default, the installation
creates a C:\Program Files\Extron\FOX_Extenders directory, and it places four
icons into a group folder named “Extron Electronics\FOX Extender.” The four installed icons
are:
•
Uninstall FOX Extender WCP
•
Check for FOX Extender updates
•
FOX Extender
•
FOX Extender Help
