Modula Instruction Manual
BCS Commands
To enter BCS commands, the system must be attached to a serial control device (see “Attaching External
Control” on page 31) running a terminal emulation program such as Windows
®
HyperTerminal. The
settings on the PC serial communication software and the enclosure
must
correspond to each other.
For setting information, see
page 34.
When using HyperTerminal, command characters are entered and sent to the enclosure’s CPU (the
command characters appear in HyperTerminal when the enclosure responds). When all of the entered
characters appear in HyperTerminal, the command has been successfully executed.
The following test switch routes Input 1 to Output 2 on Level 0 (or use the level indicated on your
system’s “AutoPatch Modula Connector Guide”).
To execute a test switch using BCS commands:
1.
Enter the following BCS command line:
CL0I1O2T
When the “T” appears, the system has successfully executed the command. If any other characters
appear, the command was not successful. Verify that the source signal is present (visible and/or audible)
at the destination.
For a complete list of BCS commands and responses, see the
Instruction Manual

AMX AutoPatch CD

Troubleshooting
If the test switch did not execute correctly:
Check the power indicator on the front of the enclosure.
If it is not illuminated, check the power cords.
Verify the status of the test switch.
If using BCS commands, enter “
SL0O2T
”.
If “
SL0O2T(1)
” appears, the test switch is routed.
If the status returns as routed correctly, the system established a connection between the
specified input and output connectors within the enclosure.
Check all link and signal connections on the rear of the enclosure(s) to make sure everything is
physically set up correctly.
Check all power switches on the source and destination devices to make sure they are all
turned on.
Isolate source and destination equipment and cable problems by patching around the router
using barrel connectors to check the overall signal path.
Attempt the switch again.
If the switch still does not work, contact technical support (see page 43).
