RS-422 Configuration Files

XNConnect (the configuration software program on the AMX AutoPatch CD shipped with the Modula)
supports Modula systems with RS-422 boards.
Even if XNConnect is already on your PC, install the newest version that shipped on the same CD as the
.xcl configuration file. We strongly recommend nonstaining the old version of XNConnect before
installing a new version.
Caution: Use this software only if you need to change the configuration information to route the
system using a different configuration method than originally specified. If you find it necessary to
modify the file for any reason, we strongly recommend contacting technical support (see page 43)
and saving a back-up copy of the original configuration.
An RS-422 enclosure is generally configured with a virtual matrix (VM) for the RS-422 bi-directional
signals, plus VMs for RS-422 breakaway signals.
X to Y Fanout option. Breakaway VMs must be configured using the same option as the main VM.
Caution: Completing the steps below will invalidate any global presets stored on the system and will
also result in the loss of any custom labels.
To change the configuration of an RS-422 system:
1.
Connect the PC to the enclosure's Comm port using a null modem cable.
2.
Open the configuration (.xcl) file in XNConnect. Both the file and the software are located on the
AMX AutoPatch CD.
3.
In the Virtual Matrices view, right-click on the virtual matrix.
4.
From the shortcut menu, choose Select 422 Configuration.
The Select 422 Configuration dialog box opens.
5.
Select the desired configuration.
6.
Click OK.

From the Configure menu, select Configure All to download to the system.
