FlexDevice Drivers
Note: FlexDevice drivers have been integrated into the switcher
software. Individual FlexDevice drivers are no longer supported
in v9.2a or higher.
Individual FlexDevice drivers are uploaded to the
switcher using the web interface. Once a driver has been
uploaded to the switcher, an instance of that driver is
initialized and assigned to the port that the device is
connected to. A single instance of a FlexDevice driver
controls a single device. If you are connecting multiple
devices of the same type to the switcher, you must
activate multiple instances of that driver.
