Epica DGX 144 Instruction Manual
Executing a Test Switch
For new system installations, we recommend executing a test switch to verify the system is working
properly before attaching
all
inputs and outputs. Aside from having signal cables and a controller
attached, the system is ready to execute switches when it ships from the factory.
You can execute a test switch from the following:
AMX control device
AMX AutoPatch control software, such as APControl 3.0 or APWeb
BCS (Basic Control Structure) commands over an external controller
An external third-party controller
Executing a Test Switch
Before executing the test switch
, make sure the first two source devices and the first two destination
devices are connected to the first two input and output connectors. Any applicable DGX SC Fiber
modules will also need to be installed (see the module’s documentation). For specific board connector
information and specifications, see the specific board chapter in this manual.
After the devices are connected
, power must be applied to the enclosure and then to the devices before
executing a test switch.
When executing a test switch
, we suggest routing Input (source) 1 to Output (destination) 2 on the
factory default virtual matrix, VM 0 (for additional information on VMs, see page 69).
After the test switch has executed successfully
, you may need to adjust the image with the software
that is provided on the
AMX AutoPatch CD
(also available at
www.amx.com
).
EDID Programmer software can be used for re-programming the DVI and HD-15 RGBHV
input boards if necessary (see “Appendix A – EDID Programmer” on page 63).
Board configuration software can be used to adjust the source signal for optimal display.
For information on the DG_HD15 Wizard, see page 54. For information on other types of
board configuration wizards, see the DGX SC Fiber module’s documentation.
AMX Control Device
For executing and disconnecting switches, see the instruction manual for the specific interface.
APControl 3.0 or APWeb
Directions for executing and disconnecting switches using APControl 3.0 are found in its Help file.
For directions for executing switches using APWeb, see the
Instruction Manual – APWeb
.
BCS Commands
To enter BCS commands, the system must be attached to a serial control device (see page 30, “Attaching
External Controllers”) running a terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal). The settings on
the PC serial communication software and the enclosure must correspond to each other. For setting
information, see page 32.
When using HyperTerminal, command characters are entered and sent to the enclosure’s CPU (the
command characters appear in HyperTerminal when the enclosure responds). When all of the entered
characters appear in HyperTerminal, the command has been successfully executed.
The following test switch routes Input 1 to Output 2 on Level 0 (VM 0).
