Updating the System Configuration
The configuration file must be updated if:
The configuration file does not need to be updated if:
If the system requires a new configuration file, the file is provided on a CD and needs to be loaded using
XNConnect. We recommend keeping a copy of the former configuration file for reference.
To update the system configuration:
1.
Attach a PC to the serial port on the Epica DG with an RS-232 null modem cable.
2.
Install XNConnect from the AMX AutoPatch CD sent with the new board. (If XNConnect is already
installed on the PC, we strongly recommend uninstalling the old version before installing a new
version).
3.
Open XNConnect.
4.
From the Communication menu, select change Comm Settings. Check the settings for the selected
PC port (the default is Com 1, baud rate 9600) and adjust if necessary.
5.
From the File menu, select Open.
6.
Using the standard File Open dialog box, locate and open the XCL (*.xcl) configuration file that
was sent with the new board. The default location is in the C:\AutoPatch\Configuration
Software<Version>\MyXCL folder.
7.
From the Configure menu, select Configure All.
8.
For XNConnect versions prior to 2.4.0 – from the Configure menu, select Reboot All Devices.
(Version 2.4.0 automatically reboots the system.)
9.
Execute a test switch that includes a signal routed on the new board to ensure the system is working
correctly. (Repeat for any additional new boards.)
