USE OF THE AUDIO CHANGEOVER ADDRESS MANAGER SOFTWARE  

 

The Audio ChangeoverAddress Manager software is an application that is used to assign a Target ID to Fox, to lock the 
front panel, to set a Target Name and possibly to apply an address to the TCP/IP port. To achieve this, both the Serial 
port of the PC and the USB port can be used. Opening the application, the screen will display the following: 
 

 
The Audio Changeover Address Manager is still disconnected from the Fox 
device.  By  clicking  the 

CONNECT 

key,  the  connection  between  PC  and 

Fox is established.  For the COM port, the default values of the port are:  
 
 

38,400 BPS 8-N-1 

 

If,  alternatively,  a  USB  port  is  being  used,  simply  select  the  relevant  port 
from  the  list  assigned  by  the  operating  system  (in  this  case  VCOM  Usb 
Port). COM5 Port has been assigned. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Once  Fox  and  Audio  Changeover  Address  Manager  are 
connected,  the  settings  of  the  Ethernet  port  are  displayed.  To 
change  this  data  go  to  the  appropriate  fields  and  enter  the  port 
data;  when  completed,  press  the 

SEND

 

DATE

  key  to  send  the 

changes to the Fox device.   
 
To  check  the  actual  implementation  of  the  changes,  press  the 

RELOAD DATE button

, which requires refreshing of the program 

and re-read the port values.  
 
Using  this  application,  it  is  possible  to  set  the  communication 
Read  Password  and  Write  Password  via  the 

SNMP

  protocol.  

The default setting is: 
 
Read Password: 

public

 

Write Password: 

private

 

 
 

Various  information  relating  to  the  device  to 
which  you  are  connected  is  visible  in  the  lower 
part  of  the  software  above  the  control  keys. 
Data present includes 

"Connected Target" 

that 

represents  the  device  model  to  which  you  are 
connected, in the photo a Fox and

 the installed 

firmware  release

  (v2.0.0).  There  is  also  the 

Firmware  Code

  which  uniquely  represents  the 

serial  number  of  the  firmware  and  hardware  installed  on  the 
device.  This number may be required in the event of upgrade of 
the device or for specific requests and customisation.
