NXB-AP-1000 Interface – Initial Setup by
Network Admin

Overview

Applicability Notice
The information in this chapter covers the NXB-AP-1000 Interface v1.0.0.1.
When the NXB-AP-1000 Interface is accessed, the NXB-AP-1000 Server delivers HTML pages and
Java applets, which allow for remote control of an AMX AutoPatch Routing System using PC-based
Internet browsing software.
The Epica DGX 32 is connected via an RJ-45 link cable to a LAN (Local Area Network), the Internet, or
a network card in a PC (which could then connect to a LAN or the Internet). For installation and link
cable information, see page 40.
Note: A single PC can access multiple AMX AutoPatch Routing Systems, as long as each system
has TCP/IP capability; each NXB-AP-1000 Interface must be assigned a unique IP address.
Furthermore, each system can contain multiple enclosures, as long as it is configured as a single
system.
The interface can also function as a Tunneling Access Point (TAP). As a TAP, it can be used to control a
system (e.g., with third party controllers) using any software that supports BCS protocol over TCP/IP.
The NXB-AP-1000 Interface information is divided into three chapters.
This chapter provides NXB-AP-1000 Interface setup information for the Network Administrator doing
the initial setup or ongoing server maintenance. It includes information on:
The next NXB-AP-1000 chapter, "NXB-AP-1000 Interface – Controlling the Epica DGX 32," contains
complete instructions for the person controlling an Epica DGX 32 through the NXB-AP-1000 Interface
after the setup is complete.
The third NXB-AP-1000 chapter, "NXB-AP-1000 Interface – Additional Info for Network Admin,"
covers the advanced topics of upgrading the firmware, embedding the XBar applet, and changing the
proxy setting.
Caution: We strongly recommend a Network Administrator set up the system even if DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), gateways, firewalls, etc. are not being used.
