Octaire Instruction Manual

Attaching External Control

Note: The Octaire

 

has a fixed configuration that was programmed at the factory.

The Octaire can be controlled externally by attaching a control device that uses one of the 
communication protocols listed below:

 

BCS

 (Basic Control Structure)

 – ASCII sent over a null modem serial cable via RS-232

 

XNNet

 – AMX AutoPatch protocol via RS-232

 

TCP/IP

 – See “Connecting to the APWeb Server” on page 35

In a multi-enclosure Octaire system, only the primary enclosure (with control panel) is enabled for 
external control via the serial port or TCP/IP port. Serial ports on secondary enclosures are primarily 
intended for single enclosure diagnostic information and system firmware upgrades.

Control Options

The communication protocols listed above are used for these control options:

NetLinx

®

AMX AutoPatch distribution matrices are NetLinx

®

 compatible and support Device Discovery. 

For specific control programming information, contact your AMX representative.

Important: Device Discovery functionality (beacon response) will only function properly if the 
NetLinx master is connected to the RS-232 control port on the primary enclosure (the one with 
the control panel).

APControl 3.0

APControl 3.0 software (for control and scheduling) runs on a PC connected to an Octaire via the serial 
port (DB-9) on the primary enclosure and is available on the 

AMX AutoPatch CD

. 

APWeb (TCP/IP)

The APWeb server (for control, diagnostics, and third-party access) is accessed through a TCP/IP 
interface such as a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer). The Octaire TCP/IP port is used to access 
APWeb. For connecting to the APWeb server, see page 35. For APWeb Server setup and operation 
information, see the “APWeb – Initial Setup by Network Admin” chapter on page 67 and the “APWeb – 
Controlling the Octaire” chapter (page 87).

Important: Contact AMX regarding limitations and conditions for operating an Octaire on a company 
LAN.

XNNet Protocol (Serial)

Advanced programmers who want to design their own control programs can use AMX AutoPatch 
XNNet protocol. The 

AMX AutoPatch CD

 includes the XNNet Communication Library, an interface 

library that supports C, Java, and Visual Basic with examples of the XNNet protocol in use.

BCS (Serial) Control

AMX AutoPatch has developed a command language, BCS (Basic Control Structure), for executing 
control operations and for diagnostic purposes. BCS commands are issued via a terminal emulation 
program, such as Windows

®

 HyperTerminal. For information on BCS commands, see the 

BCS Protocol

 

Instruction Manual

 on the 

AMX AutoPatch CD

 and at 

www.amx.com

.

Third-Party Controllers (Serial)

Third-party controllers connect to the serial port (DB-9) on the right rear of the primary enclosure. 
If using a third-party controller, see the controller documentation for setup and operating instructions.
