Loading a Configuration File
Once modifications have been made to the configuration file, the new file must be loaded onto the
system's CPU for the changes to be implemented.
There are two basic options for loading a configuration file:
To determine which configuration option to use, see "Configure Menu Commands" in the Help file.
When loading any part of a configuration file, the matrix switcher must not be actively switching. You
may want to disconnect any external controllers to ensure that no switches are executed during the
loading of the file.
Caution: Using the "Configure All" option or the "Configure All Virtual Matrices" option will erase any
global presets (see the BCS Protocol Instruction Manual) that have already been defined for the
system.
To load the modified configuration file from XNConnect to the Epica DG CPU:
1.
Using Save As (under the File menu), make a duplicate copy of the modified file with a new name
and save it to the PC. (We strongly recommend making a duplicate copy every time the file is
modified.)
2.
Connect the Epica DG enclosure* to your computer (see page 26).
3.
Open the Communication menu and select Serial Port.
4.
Open the Communication menu again, select Change Comm Settings. Check the settings for the
selected port (the default is Com 1, Baud Rate 9600) and adjust if necessary.
5.
Optional – Click the Test button to verify that communication has been established with the
Epica DG. Click OK.
6.
From the Configure menu, select the appropriate configuration option (for an explanation of
Configuration menu options, see the Help file).
The system automatically reboots (applies to non-hardware configuration options only; for hardware,
select the appropriate configuration option and then Configure > Reboot All Devices).
* For systems with multiple enclosures, you can connect any of the enclosures to the PC as long as all
the enclosures are linked together.
Epica DG Instruction Manual
