Discovering a System
If you cannot locate your AMX AutoPatch CD with the original configuration file, contact technical
support (see page 43) with your system’s serial number for a replacement copy of the original
configuration file. Or download XNConnect and the INI Updater from
www.amx.com and follow the
instructions below to discover your system.
The discovery process queries the attached system for configuration information and properties,
including information regarding assigned signals and virtual matrix definitions. We recommend
disconnecting any third-party control devices from the enclosure’s serial ports
before starting the
discovery process. The discovery process may take several minutes to complete.
To discover a system:
1.
Disconnect any third-party control devices from the Epica DGX 144 enclosure’s serial port and
USB port.
2. Connect the enclosure* to your computer (page 31).
3.
Launch XNConnect (see page 71).
4.
Open the Communication menu; select Serial Port.
5.
If applicable – For a serial port other than Com 1, open the Communication menu again, select
Change Comm Settings, and adjust the settings for the selected port (default baud rate 9600).
6.
From the File menu, select Discover System (the discovery may take a few minutes).
7.
Save the discovered system’s configuration file, make a duplicate copy with a new name, and save it
to the PC.
The new configuration file is ready to be modified. If changes are made, the new file
must be loaded
onto the system to implement the changes (see page 77).
* For systems with multiple enclosures, you can connect any of the enclosures to the PC as long as
all of the enclosures are linked together.
