 AVX-400 Enova Twisted Pair Presentation Switcher Operation/Reference Guide

Configuration

AMX DCS Software

You can configure the AVX-400 and its functionality by using AMX DCS software (FIG. 27). The top of the window 
displays the device image of the front panel of the Enova AVX-400, and displays which inputs are valid by highlighting 
the source input. Clicking on a highlighted port on the device image changes the active input. (This does not work if you 
are working in Priority mode unless there are no active inputs on the AVX-400.) The active source input is indicated by 
the illuminated red LED beside the source input.

Highlighted port indicates
valid wallplate connection and type

Non-highlighted port
indicates no wallplate connection

The DCS application is intended for configuration purposes and not for real-time use. 
In most cases, after configuring your system, you will not need to return to use the 
DCS application unless you have a configuration change to your system.
