Opening A Configuration File - AMX Optima AVS-OP-1616-110 Instruction Manual

Opening a Configuration File

The process of modifying a configuration file starts by opening it with XNConnect. After the
modifications are complete, the new configuration information must be loaded onto the system to
implement the changes.
Note: Even if XNConnect is already on your PC, install the newest version that shipped on the same
CD as the configuration file. We strongly recommend uninstalling the old version of XNConnect
before installing a new version.
If you cannot locate the original factory configuration file, see Discovering a System on page 44.
Caution: Use XNConnect only if you need to reload the configuration file or modify your system's
configuration from the original specification. Make a copy of the original file every time the file is
modified.
To launch XNConnect:
1.
From the Start menu, select Programs.
2.
Select AutoPatch Applications (or other file group you specified during the installation).
3. Select the XNConnect folder.
4. Select XNConnect.
The XNConnect program opens.
5. From the Getting Started dialog box, click Open Configuration File.
(If the dialog box does not appear, from the File menu select Open.)
6. Use the standard Open dialog box to locate and open your configuration (.xcl) file.
The default location is in the MyXCL folder on the AMX AutoPatch CD.
7.
Using Save As (under the File menu), make a duplicate copy of the file with a new name and save it
to the PC. (We strongly recommend making a duplicate copy every time the file is modified.)
The 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 50).
