This chapter pertains to the Optima 3 RU APWeb expansion board, FG1046-313.

Overview

An APWeb board can be ordered pre-installed in an Optima 3 RU enclosure or as an upgrade for an
existing 3 RU enclosure. (Not all Optima 3 RU enclosures support the APWeb expansion board; contact
your AMX representative for details.) The APWeb board is located in one of the two expansion slots to
the left of the CPU (FIG. 67). Multiple-enclosure systems that are configured to work as a single system
require 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 Instruction Manual – APWeb Interface 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).
