Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual
Loading an .xcl Configuration File
Once modifications have been made to the .xcl configuration file, the new file
must
be loaded onto the
system’s CPU for the changes to be implemented.
The two basic options for loading an .xcl configuration file are:
Load the entire file using the “Configure All” option (see Caution below).
Load part of the file using one of the “Configure Special” options.
To determine which configuration option to use, see “Configure Menu Commands” in the Help file.
When loading any part of an .xcl configuration file, the matrix switcher
must not
be actively switching. You
may want to lock the control panel (see page 70) and disconnect any external controllers to ensure that no
switches are executed during the loading of the file.
Caution: Using the “Configure All” option or the “Configure All Virtual Matrices” option will erase any
global presets (see the BCS Protocol Instruction Manual) that have already been defined for the
system.
To load an .xcl configuration file to the enclosure’s CPU:
Important: The matrix switcher must not be actively switching when loading any part of or all of the
.xcl configuration file.
1.
Recommended – Lock the control panel and/or disconnect any external controllers to ensure that no
switches are executed during the loading of the file.
2.
If you have not already done so – From the File menu, select Save As and save an .xcl file with a new
name to the PC. (We
strongly
recommend making a duplicate copy every time the file is modified.)
3.
Connect the Epica DGX 32 enclosure to the PC (see page 27). (For systems with multiple enclosures,
you can connect any of the enclosures to the PC as long as all the enclosures are linked together.)
4.
In XNConnect, open the Communication menu and select Serial Port.
5.
Open the Communication menu again, select Change Comm Settings.
6.
Check the settings for the selected port and adjust if necessary (the default is Com 1 with a baud rate of
9600).
7.
Optional – Click the Test button to verify that communication has been established with the
Epica DGX 32. Click OK.
8.
From the Configure menu, select the appropriate configuration option For an explanation of
Configuration menu options, see the Help file. (The Configure All option will not load password
information. For instructions on loading password information, see page 115.)
The system automatically reboots (applies to non-hardware configuration options only; for hardware, select
the appropriate configuration option and then Configure > Reboot All Devices).
9.
If local presets were created and loaded to the CPU – Reload the .xcl file from the CPU to the control
panel according to the directions on page 73.
