Verifying Signal Status

To verify signal status:
1. At the Command screen, press the Status Key. The Status screen appears.

(if no level is entered, the system defaults to Level 0).
3. Press the Input Key or Output Key and enter the desired input or output number.
4. Press the Take Key.
When verifying an input, output (including multiple outputs) status is displayed. If
no outputs are receiving a signal from the input, "DIS" is displayed. When
verifying an output, input status is displayed.
If no inputs are routed to that output, "DIS" is displayed.
Defining / Executing Global Presets*
To define (program) a global preset:
1. Route the entire system to the desired state.
2. At the Command screen, press the Preset Key.
3. In the Global Preset screen, press the Preset Key again. Ensure the Program
prompt is visible.

* Local presets can be executed, but must be pre-defined. See the XNConnect
documentation on the AMX AutoPatch Software & Documentation CD that shipped
with the enclosure.

Checking the Software Version

To check the software version:
1. At the Command screen, press the Program Key.
The Software Version screen appears.
2. Press the Cancel Key to return to the Command screen.
Error Codes
If an error code appears in the LCD, a common troubleshooting strategy is resending
the command to see if the error was simply a timeout error. Other things to check: link
connections, power cables, and power source. If the system still displays an error
code, refer to the instruction manual on the CD or at www.amx.com.
