Axcess Programming Language
As shown in the table above, AMX recommends that all panels, infrared (IR) receivers, and radio
frequency (RF) receivers start on device number 128, and that the number increase with each
device. All AXB-xxx (boxes) start at device number 96, and increase with each device. The AXB-
FD (floppy disk drive) starts at 127 and decreases with each AXB-FD. When numbering panels,
start with RF and IR, then SoftWire panels such as the AXU-MSP8 or AXU-SPL4, and then touch
panels. Two-way RF, wireless Wave systems should start at device number 192.
Video Monitors
The Axcess Control System automatically detects whether your monitor is color or monochrome.
However, if your monitor reports being a CGA monitor, but has no color (such as LCD or plasma-
type monitors), you must force the Axcess Control System into monochrome mode. To do this,
launch Axcess by typing:
C:\AMX DOS TOOLS \AXCESS> AXCESS /B
Connecting the System
At this point, the Axcess program should be installed on your computer. The next step is to connect
the system. To supply power to the CardFrame, plug in the power supply from the power outlet to
the Axcess Control System. The green 2-pin Phoenix connector should be plugged into the lower
right corner on the back of the CardFrame. Next, the Axcess Programming Cable must be
connected from the communications port of the computer to the 9-pin connector on the Central
Controller.
The following table lists solutions to some common communication problems.
If the Central Controller is in slot MC1, the 9-pin connector on the back of the CardFrame can be
used.
Communications Problem Resolutions
Cause
Resolution
The baud rate of the Axcess Control System is
different than that of the Central Controller.
The Axcess Control System baud rate can be found with the
Configure... option in the Communications menu, and an
explanation of setting the Central Controller baud rate is in
the
AXC-EM Enhanced Master Card
instruction manual. Set
both to the same setting.
The communications port number of the Axcess
Control System is different than that of the com-
munications port in which the Central Controller
cable is plugged.
The Axcess Control System com port number can be found
with the Configure... option in the Communications menu.
Make sure it matches the correct Central Controller commu-
nications port.
The communications settings of the Axcess
Control System are different than that of the
Central Controller.
The Axcess Control System communications settings can be
found with the Configure... option in the Communications
menu, and an explanation of changing these settings for the
Central Controller is in the
AXC-EM Enhanced Master Card
instruction manual. Both should be set to eight data bits, no
parity, and one stop bit.
The connecting cable is not made by AMX.
Inspect the cable's pinout. The cable connection chart in the
AXC-EM Enhanced Master Card
instruction manual should
help determine the solution.
