APWeb Instruction Manual
When entering the number of the new virtual matrix (VM), apply the following rules:
VM Numbering Rules
Must be a unique VM number (cannot be a duplicate).
Must match the level numbers on the routing system, for example:
All (audio-follow-video) virtual matrix (VM) = 0
Video virtual matrix (VM) = 1
Audio virtual matrix (VM) = 2
Must match the level numbers on heritage systems for control purposes.
Important:
When you specify the number of inputs and outputs for a VM, they will always
correspond to the first inputs and outputs in the system. For example, if you want to create a VM that
only provides access to 16 outputs in a system with 48 outputs, they will be the first 16 outputs.
To manually define a virtual matrix (VM):
1.
From any page in the website, click the Configuration link.
2.
Under Bootup Operations (Discover System Configuration must be selected), unselect the Force
VM Discovery option.
3.
Click Apply and reboot when prompted.
4.
From any page in the website, click the Define VM link.
5.
If desired or required, delete the existing VM definitions first (see the instructions below).
6.
Enter a VM number (follow the Numbering Rules above).
7.
Enter the corresponding VM name (e.g.,
All
(for audio-follow-video),
Video
, or
Audio
).
8.
Enter the number of inputs and outputs for the system (e.g., No. Inputs
48
, No. Outputs
16
).
9.
Click Create.
The VM is added to the drop down list in the VM Selection Pad dialog box for the XBar, to the
Home page, and to the list of VMs under the Delete VM section.
Note:
Deleting a VM that corresponds to one of the preconfigured levels on the routing system will
remove it from the APWeb server but not from the routing system itself. To recover the preconfigured
levels, turn VM discovery back on (reselect the Force VM Discovery option). When APWeb is
rebooted, the virtual matrices from the system will be retrieved and replace the manually configured
ones in the list. (This note does not apply to heritage systems.)
To delete an existing virtual matrix (VM):
1.
From any page in the website, click the Define VM link.
2.
Under the Delete VM section, select one or more VMs to be deleted from the VM list
(to multi-select, hold down the Control key on your PC as you click each VM).
3.
Click Delete.
The VM is removed from the list (and is also removed on the Home page and from the drop down
list in the VM Selection Pad dialog box for the XBar).
