Using the Control Program
Many items found in the ISS/ISM Control Program are also accessible via front panel
controls and the LCD menus (see the Operation section, starting on page 15), and under
SIS control (see the Programming Guide section, starting on page 38). The ISS/ISM Help
Program provides information on settings and on how to use the control program, itself.
1. To run the control program, click Start > Programs > Extron Electronics >
ISSISM.
The Comm menu appears on the screen (see figure 30).

2. Select the comm port that is connected to the ISM’s Remote port or select IP [LAN] and
click OK.
• If you selected a comm port, proceed to step 5.
• If you selected IP [LAN], proceed to step 3.
3. If you selected IP [LAN] in step 2, the IP connection window appears (see figure 31).
The window displays the last IP address that this computer was logged on to via the
ISS/ISM Control Program. If no one has logged on to the ISM from this computer, enter
the ISM IP address. If the address has not been changed, the factory-specified default
is 192.168.254.254.

4. If you selected IP [LAN] in step 2, when prompted, enter the appropriate
administrator or user password and click Connect.
• If you logged on using the administrator password, the program connects you to
the ISM with all of the administrator rights and privileges.
• If you logged on using the user password, the program connects you to the ISM
with only user capabilities.
• If an incorrect password was entered, the program beeps and returns to the
password entry display.
• The Extron ISS/ISM Control Program window (see figure 32 on the next page)
appears.
