Opening A Configuration File - AMX Modula Instruction Manual

Opening a Configuration File

Important: 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.
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.
If you cannot locate the factory configuration file, see "Discovering a System" on page 150.
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 before making
modifications 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 file must be loaded onto the system to
implement the changes (see page 156).
