Appendix B – Managing Configuration Files
Modifying a Configuration File
Modifying a configuration file with XNConnect involves entering information in a field or in a series of
dialog boxes. A brief look at the contents in the Help file provides a quick overview of the possible
modifications.
This section provides instructions for two common tasks: modifying channel names and configuring
local presets. For complete coverage of configuration related tasks, see the XNConnect Help file.
Modifying Source & Destination Channel Names
If the system is using APWeb for control, the names for the source and destination channels displayed in
the XBar can be customized in XNConnect. The custom names (labels) can be up to 23 characters and
cannot contain the following characters: ' " \ = ? < >.
To customize the channel names:
1.
In the Virtual Matrices view, click the "+" to the left of the Virtual Matrix.
2.
Click the "+" to the left of the Sources or Destinations folder.
3.
Right-click the channel you want to rename and select Change Name from the shortcut menu.
4.
Enter the new name in the Input Text dialog box and click OK.
The new channel name appears in the Name field.
Note: If a channel is in more than one VM, you must repeat Step 4 for the channel in
each of the VMs.
5.
Customize additional channels by repeating Steps 3 and 4.
When finished, load the configuration file onto the system (see page 75). If channel names are the only
modifications that have been made to the file, use the "Configure System Namespace" option (found
under Configure \ Configure Special – Virtual Matrix).
Caution: The system must not be actively switching when loading this information onto the system.
