175 Modula Instruction Manual
To update the system configuration file:
1.
Attach a PC to the Modula’s serial port with an RS-232 null modem cable.
2.
Open a terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal), and set the port settings to:
baud rate = 9600, data bits = 8, stop bit = 1, parity = none, and flow control = none.
3.
Plug in the enclosure.
A short splash screen* appears (FIG. 113).
4.
Enter ~def!
Wait until a “
V
” appears (FIG. 113) to verify that the command is successful (this may take a few
minutes), then exit the program.
5. Install XNConnect from the AMX AutoPatch CD sent with the new board. (If XNConnect is already
installed on the PC, we strongly recommend uninstalling the old version before installing a new
version).
6.
Open XNConnect.
7. From the Communication menu, select Change Comm Settings. Check the settings for the selected
PC port (the default is Com 1, baud rate 9600) and adjust if necessary.
8.
From the File menu select Open.
9.
Using the standard File Open dialog box, locate and open the XCL (*.xcl) configuration file that
was sent with the new board. The default location is in the C:\AutoPatch\Configuration
Software<Version>\MyXCL folder.
10.
For XNConnect version 2.4.0 – from the Configure menu, select Configure All.
The system automatically reboots all devices.
Or
For XNConnect versions prior to 2.4.0 – from the Configure menu, select Reboot All Devices.
11.
Execute a test switch that includes a signal routed on the new board to ensure the system is working
correctly. (Repeat for any additional new boards.)
If the test switch does not execute correctly, contact technical support (see page 43).
* Your splash screen may differ. AMX reserves the right to change the contents and/or formatting of the splash
screen without notice.
