General Setup for the USB Extender Matrix System
1. Enable the Network Pairing feature on each USB Extender transmitter and receiver to be used in the USB Matrix system.
2. Use Extron Toolbelt to congure the IP settings of the USB Matrix Controller (IP, Subnet, and Gateway addresses).
NOTE: USB Extender Transmitters and Receivers must be on a static IP. Do not configure the extenders for DHCP
mode.
3. Use PCS software and the included 9-pin to 2.5 mm TRS serial cable to sequentially congure each of the IP settings of the
USB Extenders via the Cong port of the product and create a USB Matrix Conguration.
4. Use PCS software to upload the conguration of the USB matrix setup to the USB Plus Matrix controller.
5. Set up an (Extron) control system to control the matrix switching by making input and output ties. Use an Extron IPL control
driver, available on the Extron website.
