Appendix A – Managing Configuration Files
Applicability Notice
This appendix applies to XNConnect version 2.8.0 (XNConnect’s version information is found under its
Help menu).
This appendix covers basic modifications that can be made to a configuration file using XNConnect
software. Appendix B covers advanced configuration modifications. For complete coverage of
XNConnect, see the Help file.
Overview
A configuration file contains system configuration information which is loaded onto the system at the
factory. The enclosure’s CPU references the configuration file, which defines switching behavior. The
file can be modified using XNConnect (found on the
AMX AutoPatch CD ) to include custom channel
names and local presets.
Caution: Use XNConnect only if you need to reload the configuration file or to modify your system’s
configuration from the original specifications. Make a copy of the current file every time the file is
modified.
A copy of the configuration file (with an .xcl file extension) is found on the AMX AutoPatch CD shipped
with each system. If you cannot locate the AMX AutoPatch CD , contact technical support (see page 31)
with your system’s serial number for a replacement copy of the original configuration file.
If making any modifications other than customizing channel names, setting the password, or creating
local presets, provide technical support with a copy of the modified file for future support.
This appendix covers the following topics:
Installing XNConnect
Opening a configuration file
Navigating the interface
Customizing channel names (labels)
Setting the control panel password
Creating local presets (macros)
