Important: If the slot was previously empty or if the board type has changed, the system's
configuration file must be updated before signals can be routed on the new board; see "Updating the
System Configuration" below.

If the system's configuration file requires updating, reapply power to the enclosure and continue to
the section below.

Updating the System Configuration

The configuration file stored on the Modula system may or may not need to be updated, depending on
the type of board being installed.
Note: We recommend keeping a copy of the former configuration file for reference.
Important: When loading any part of a configuration file, the matrix switcher must not be actively
switching. You may want to disconnect any external controllers to ensure that no switches are
executed during the loading of the file.
174
If an input or output board is replaced with the same type of board or if the system was
pre-configured for expansion, the configuration file will not need to be updated.
If an input or output board is added to a previously empty slot (an upgrade) in a system not
configured for expansion, or if the replacement is a different type of board, the system's
configuration file must be updated before the board will work. If the system requires a new
configuration file, the file is provided on a CD and needs to be loaded using XNConnect.
