Navigating the Interface
XNConnect displays configuration information in two panes. The graphics are located in the left pane,
and the properties of the currently selected graphic are in the right pane. At the top of the left pane are
two tabs, Hardware and Virtual Matrices, for accessing the Hardware and Virtual Matrix (level) views
(see below). To see the details and components of a device or a virtual matrix, click the plus “+” symbol
to the left of the device or the virtual matrix.
Most configuration file modifications involve entering information in a series of dialog boxes that are
accessed by right-clicking a hardware device or virtual matrix icon and selecting an option from the
shortcut menu.
Tip: If you have a question regarding an open dialog box, press the F1 key for Help .
Hardware View
The Hardware view displays the system’s hardware, such as the enclosure and serial port. This is the
view used when setting the control panel password.
Virtual Matrix View
Note: XNConnect refers to the levels in a Precis HT as virtual matrices.
The Virtual Matrix view displays properties of the existing virtual matrices (levels). Most common tasks
are conducted from this view, including customizing channel names and creating local presets (which
can be executed using the Macro Key on the control panel).
