4. Follow the on-screen instructions. By default, the Windows installation
of the Matrix Switchers Control Program creates a C:\Program Files\
Extron\ ISS506, and it places four icons into a group folder named “Extron
Electronics\Matrix Switchers.” The four installed icons are:

The ISS 506 can support remote control via the front panel Configuration
port, the rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port, and/or the LAN port. For serial port
control, the program can operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, and 115200 baud rates.
See “View and Edit Communications Settings menu” in chapter 3, “Operation”,
to configure the rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port and LAN port from the front
panel.
Software operation via Ethernet
When an ISS 506 is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN, any number of
users can operate it, locally or remotely, using the ISS 506 Control Program. See
“Ethernet connection” in chapter 2, “Installation”, for installation details.
Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet is password protected. There are two
levels of password protection: administrator and user. Administrators have full
accesstoallISS506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 log on with administrator privileges. Fields and functions that exceed
user privileges are unavailable in the ISS 506 Control Program when the operator is
logged on as a user.
Ethernet protocol settings
The ISS 506 System Settings IP tab screen (figure 5-15 on page 5-13) provides a
locationforviewingand,ifitisconnectedviatheRS-232linkorifyouarelogged

interface. See “System Settings IP settings window”, later in this chapter, for more
details. See “System Settings Passwords window” to set passwords.
