Attaching Cable Management Bars
AMX AutoPatch cable management bars are provided for SC Fiber input and output boards.
Caution:
Do not severely bend or kink the SC fiber cable. Irreversible damage can occur. Refer to
the physical limitations (bend radius) specified for the cable by the manufacturer. The bend radius
for AMX SC terminated fiber cables is 2 inches (5 cm).
To install cable management bars:
1.
Align the two screw holes on the end of the cable management bar with the two screw holes at the
top of the board as shown at left in FIG. 8. (Note that the long part of the bar is left of the holes.)
2.
Insert and tighten the two screws at the top of the cable management bar (do
not
over tighten).
3.
Insert and tighten the two screws at the bottom of the cable management bar (do
not
over tighten).
Linking Enclosures
An Epica DGX 144 enclosure can be linked to other types of AMX AutoPatch Distribution Matrices by
using its Ethernet (10/Base-T) port which is labeled Enc Link. Linking from an Epica DGX 144
enclosure to another Epica DGX 144 (or to an Epica DG) enclosure is currently
not
supported.
Important:
The shipping boxes each have a bright yellow/green sticker that states that the unit
(enclosure) is part of a multiple-enclosure system and must be installed with the same serial
numbers.
Linking enclosures allows control information to pass between them. In a multiple-enclosure system, the
enclosure with a control panel or with an external controller attached receives control information and
passes on relevant information to the other enclosures via the links, as well as retrieving control request
for success/failure from each of them.
Caution:
AMX AutoPatch systems should only be linked in their own isolated networks.
If any of the linked enclosures were not part of the original system, contact technical support
(see page 43) for important information not included here.
