Understanding The Report File - AMX AXT-CA10 Instruction Manual

Using the DXP-PRO Wizard

Understanding the Report File

The report file (Report.html), automatically generated by DXP-PRO (after the project is finished)
should be used as a step-by-step guide to installing the system. This HTML file is located into the
project directory that is specific to the generated project.
It is important to refer to the Report file and follow the device addressing instructions and to hook
up the A/V equipment to the proper IR and RS-232 ports. If the device addressing instructions are
not followed the system will not function properly.
The report is broken down into the following five sections:
70
• Installation Instructions:
• Device Addressing:
This section of the report indicates which files need to be
downloaded, and describes device mapping, working with IR
files, compile and download operations (via NetLinx Studio), how
to FTP externally, and how to reboot the NetLinx Master.
An example would be:
• Verify NetLinx Master Firmware is the latest available.
• Verify NXI Firmware is the latest available.
• Open project in NetLinx Studio.
• Address each device as specified in the Device Addressing
section of this report.
• Configure each Modero panel to communicate via Ethernet
• Compile the project.
• Go to the download screen. Make sure communications
settings are correct.
• Select all files in the project and download.
• Using an FTP program, FTP all .TXT files and .HTML files in
the project directory to the root directory on the NetLinx
Master.
• Reboot the Master for the changes to take effect.
This section defines the device IDs of all the devices defined by
Design XPress - Professional (DXP-PRO). The devices listed in
this section must be set to the given device IDs. If this is not done
the system will not behave properly. This section is divided up by
device type: touch panels and miscellaneous.
Most device IDs are set inside the NetLinx code. These devices
must be connected to the correct port of the NetLinx Controller to
operate properly. The exceptions to this are the touch panels.
Their device IDs must be set from the setup screen on the panel
itself. Make sure when the device ID is set on G3 panels so that
the number of devices used on the touch panel is also set.
DXP-PRO uses 4 devices on each G3 touch panel. So, if the
touch panel is set to use device ID 128 with 4 devices used, that
panel will actually occupy device IDs 128, 129, 130, and 131.
Note: When using G4 panels, you do not need to set the number
of devices used.
