Upgradeable firmware — The firmware that controls all switcher operation can
be upgraded in the field via RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet, without taking the
switcher out of service. Firmware upgrades are available for download
on the Extron Web site, www.extron.com, and can be installed using the
Windows-based control/configuration program or the built-in HTML pages.
Labeling — Extron’s included button label software lets you create labels to place
in the front panel I/O buttons, with names, alphanumeric characters, or color
bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection. Alternatively,
labels can be made with any Brother
P-Touch
or comparable labeler.

Front panel security lockout modes (Executive mode) — If a matrix switcher is
installed in an open area, where operation by unauthorized personnel may
be a problem, a security lockout mode can be implemented. When the front
panel is locked, a special button combination or SIS command is required to
unlock the front panel controller and make the front panel fully operational.
