Figure 5-9.A Adding BMEs to a Matrix 3200/6400 system
Adding BME(s) to an existing Matrix 3200/6400 System involves doing most of
the same steps as an initial installation. Extron recommends that the following
steps be done in the order listed to add a Video BME (maximum Video BMEs per
system = 3) and/or an Audio BME (maximum Audio BMEs per system = 1) to an
existing system.
1. See Page 5-11 "Software Procedure - Before and After a Hardware Upgrade".
Do steps under "Before Hardware Changes" before making any hardware
changes.
system reconfiguration time. It is highly recommended that you not skip any step.
2. Remove power before proceeding. Go to "Adding a Video and/or an Audio BME"
(below). If this is not a Video or Audio BME add-on, go to Chapter 2.
3. Set the BME address numbers (0 - 5). (Page 2-2)
4. Connect the BME COMM interconnecting cable(s). (Page 2-2)
