Overview

An APWeb board can be ordered pre-installed in an Optima SD enclosure or as an upgrade for an
existing Optima SD enclosure. The APWeb board is located in one of the two expansion slots to the left
of the CPU (FIG. 26). The Optima SD is configured to work as a single system and, as such, requires
only one APWeb board.
The APWeb board connects to a LAN using an RJ-45 cable. Any PC-based Internet browsing software
can then access the APWeb server. The APWeb server allows remote control and diagnostics of the
system. It also offers a Telnet service that allows for direct BCS control via a standard terminal interface.
For setup and operation details for the APWeb server, see the APWeb Instruction Manual on the
AMX AutoPatch CD or at www.amx.com.
In addition, the APWeb board functions as a Tunneling Access Point (TAP). As a TAP, it can be used to
configure the system with XNConnect (the communication setting in XNConnect must be changed; see
the Help file) and can also be used to control a system using any software that supports XNNet protocol
over TCP/IP (e.g., third party controllers).
