Executing a Test Switch
Execute a test switch to verify the system is working properly before attaching
all
inputs and outputs. Aside from having signal cables and a controller attached,
the system is ready to perform switches when it ships from the factory.
The first two source and two destination devices must be attached to the input
and output connectors as indicated in the “AutoPatch Epica Connector Guide”
that is shipped with each system (for specific board connector information and
specifications, see the
Boards & Specifications
section of this manual). After the
devices are connected, power must be applied to the enclosure and then to the
devices before executing a test switch.
Note:
If the signal from the source or destination device is a component signal
that requires being attached to multiple input or output connectors (e.g., an RGsB
signal that requires three connectors), all of the signal cables for that signal must
be attached before executing the test switch.
You can execute a test switch from the following:
ä
NetLinx
®
or Duet compatible devices
ä
Control software such as APControl or APWeb
ä
A remote control panel (CP-20A or CP-10)
ä
BCS (Basic Control Structure) commands over an external controller
ä
An external third-party controller
