9.2 Updating the System Configuration
The configuration file
must
be updated if:
ä
An input or output board is replaced with a different type of board.
ä
An input or output board is added to a previously empty slot and the system
was not pre-configured for expansion.
The configuration file does not need to be updated if:
ä
An input or output board is replaced with the same type of board.
ä
An input or output board is added to a previously empty slot and the system
was pre-configured for expansion.
If the system requires a new configuration file, the file is provided on a CD and
needs to be loaded using X
N
Connect. We recommend keeping a copy of the
former configuration file for reference.
To update the system configuration:
1. Attach a PC (see Chapter 4, “Attaching External Controllers”) to enclosure.
2. Install X
N
Connect from the
AMX AutoPatch CD
sent with the new board. (If
X
N
Connect is already installed on the PC, we
strongly
recommend
uninstalling the old version of X
N
Connect before installing a new version.)
3. Open X
N
Connect and load the new configuration file (that was sent with the
new boards) according to the directions on page 8-9.
4. Open HyperTerminal and enter
~app!
to do a soft reboot of the system.
5. Execute a test switch that includes a signal routed on the new board to ensure
the system is working properly (see Chapter 7).
