Establishing External Control (if applicable)
The 1Y can be controlled by attaching an external control device/system to the
enclosure’s serial port.
Serial Control (PCs & third-party controllers)
To establish external serial control:
Use the pinout in FIG. 6 when connecting an external serial controller to the 1Y serial
port.
1.
Plug the null modem cable into serial port 1 (labeled Port In or IN) on the
(master) enclosure (see FIG. 7). (Serial port 1 is recommended because serial
port 2 does not echo commands and is usually used for linking enclosures).
2.
Plug the other end of cable into the serial port on the serial controller/device.
3.
Open serial communication software and set port settings to match the
1Y Series default settings (see table below).
Applying Power & Control Startup
Caution: To avoid system damage, make sure the voltage selector is on the proper
setting for your system (either 110 V or 220 V).
If the voltage selector setting requires changing, see the 1Y Series Instruction
Manual on the AMX AutoPatch Software & Documentation CD or visit
www.amx.com.
Important: We recommend attaching all power cords to a surge protector and/or an
AC line conditioner.
To apply power:
1.
Attach power cord and plug into power source (turn on power source if
necessary). Press the “l” side of the enclosure’s power switch. The Power
Indicator on the front of the enclosure illuminates. If applicable, the control
panel’s LEDs illuminate showing available inputs and outputs (output LEDs
illuminate; input LEDs flash four times).
2.
Apply power to the source and destination devices.
Completing the Installation
We recommend completing the installation by executing a test switch routing Input 1
to Output 2. The 1Y Series ships with a default switch routing Input 1 to all outputs.
This default switch must be disconnected before performing a test switch. The
method of performing the switch will depend on the control option used. Control
options and switching information are provided below.
•
Control Panel –
To disconnect the default switch: Press and hold the Take Key. While holding
the Take Key, press the Cancel Key. When all output key LEDs are out, the
default switch is disconnected.
To execute a test switch: Press the Change Key. Press Input Key 1 (Input Key 1
LED illuminates). Press Output Key 2 (Output Key 2 LED illuminates). Press
Take Key. When both LEDs go out, the test switch is successful.

NetLinx
®
Compatible Devices – see the specific controller device
documentation for instructions on installation and executing switches.
•
APControl 3.0 (PC based) – install and open the program. From the
APControl Launchbar menu, select System/New; select Heritage System/Next;
select Manual Configuration Entry/Next; enter Add VM information/Next; finish
Wizard instructions.
From the Launchbar menu, to disconnect default switch: deselect all active
crosspoints.
From the Launchbar menu, to execute a test switch: select Views/CrossBar
and click on the crosspoint for Input 1 / Output 2.
•
APWeb – connect the APWeb Module (see the APWeb Module Quick Start
Guide). For instructions on executing switches, see the APWeb (Interface)
documentation on the AMX AutoPatch CD. Remember to disconnect the
default switch before executing a test switch.
•
BCS Commands (HyperTerminal) – when power is applied, a short splash
screen appears.
To disconnect default switch: enter DI1T into the terminal emulation program.
To execute a test switch, enter CL# I1O2T (# = a level on the Connector
Guide) into the terminal emulation program (routes Input 1 to Output 2).
When CL# I1O2T appears, the switch is successful.
After executing a successful test switch, attach remaining source and destination
devices according to the AutoPatch Connector Guide.
