Front Panel Configuration Port
The mini type B USB port is located on the front panel (see Front Panel Features on
page8). It connects to a host computer for configuration using SIScommands with
DataViewer.
To connect the SMD101 to a host computer:
NOTE: If an Extron USB device has never been connected to the host computer,
prior to connecting the SMD101 config (USB) port for the first time, you must install
and activate the USB driver. The simplest way to do this is to install DataViewer (see
DataViewer on page93) or obtain the driver from the SMD101 product page at
www.extron.com.
1. After the USB driver is loaded, connect a USB A to mini B cable between the Config
port on the SMD101 front panel and a USB port of the PC.
2. If this is the first time an Extron product is connected to the PC, the Found New
Hardware Wizard dialog opens. The first screen offers to connect to Windows Update
to search the internet for the appropriate driver. This is not necessary if the USB driver is
already on your PC (see the Note above).
