Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers
9.
In the AutoPatch USB Bridge Properties dialog box, select the General tab.
10.
Make note of the COM port number assigned to the AutoPatch USB Bridge.
This port number
must
be entered when
setting a connection in a software program or a terminal emulation program. The PC will always associate a
specific USB connector with the assigned virtual COM port. The PC will not recognize the module if you
disconnect and reconnect using a different COM port on the PC. However, it will attempt to install a new virtual
COM port using the new port. If completed, the new port will be assigned a different COM number.
Important:
You must identify the virtual COM port assigned to the USB connector to enable communication
between the Control PC and the switcher.
11.
Set up and run the desired application:
AMX Controller
– For control programming information, see the instruction manual for the specific
interface.
Terminal Emulation
– Open the program (see “Terminal Emulation” on the next page). Check to be sure the
COM port is set for the port determined in the previous steps. Set the settings to match the default ones:
baud rate* – 9600, data bits – 8, parity – 1, stop bits – none, and flow control – 1.
12.
Execute a test switch to make sure the Enova DGX Switcher is working properly (see page 56).
*
Enova DGX 64 only
– the baud rate must be 115200 for the enclosure’s USB port when it is in serial port mode.
Important:
If power is cycled on the enclosure, the USB connection must be reestablished. (1) Remove the
USB cable, (2) close the software application in use, (3) reconnect the USB cable to the same USB connector
that was used previously, and (4) reopen the communication software.
