Serial Control Device Startup

If you have not already done so, attach the serial control device to an enclosure (see page 22) and open
the control program.
AMX Control Devices
The Optima SD is compatible with a number of AMX control devices. For control programming
information, see the instruction manual for the specific device.
APControl 3.0
If you are using APControl 3.0, install and open the program. Follow the directions in the setup wizard.
From the Launchbar menu, select Views / CrossBar and click on the crosspoints to execute switches.
APWeb
For startup information, see the "APWeb Expansion Board" chapter on page 45.
HyperTerminal
When power is applied to the enclosure, HyperTerminal displays a one-line splash screen followed by
Ready. The system is ready to disconnect the factory default switch and to execute a test switch
(see page 31).
FIG. 17 illustrates an example of the splash screen at power up (your system's splash screen may differ).
