Appendix B – Managing Configuration Files
Discovering a System
If you lose your AMX AutoPatch CD with the original configuration file, contact technical support
(see page 40) with your system's serial number for a replacement copy of the original configuration file.
Or download XNConnect and the INI Updater from www.amx.com and follow the instructions below to
discover your system.
The discovery process queries the attached system for configuration information and properties,
including information regarding assigned signals and virtual matrix definitions. The discovery process
may take several minutes to complete. We recommend disconnecting any third-party control devices
from the enclosure's serial ports before starting the discovery process.
To discover a system:
1.
Disconnect any third-party control devices from the Epica DG enclosure's serial port or USB port.
2.
Connect the enclosure* to your computer (page 27).
3.
Launch XNConnect (see page 69).
4.
Open the Communication menu; select Serial Port.
5.
If applicable – For a serial port other than Com 1, open the Communication menu again, select
Change Comm Settings, and adjust the settings for the selected port (default baud rate 9600).
6.
From the File menu, select Discover System (the discovery may take a few minutes).
7.
Save the discovered system's configuration file, make a duplicate copy with a new name, and save it
to the PC.
The new configuration file is ready to be modified. If changes are made, the new file must be loaded
onto the system to implement the changes (see page 75).
* For systems with multiple enclosures, you can connect any of the enclosures to the PC as long as
all of the enclosures are linked together.
