Modifying an .xcl Configuration File
Modifying an .xcl configuration file with XNConnect involves entering information in a field or in
a series of dialog boxes. A brief look at the contents in the Help file provides a quick overview of the
possible modifications.
This section provides instructions for three common tasks: modifying channel names, configuring local
presets, and setting the control panel password. For complete coverage of configuration related tasks,
see the XNConnect Help file.
Modifying Source & Destination Channel Names
If the system is using APWeb or APControl for control, the names for the source and destination
channels displayed in the XBar or CrossBar (respectively) can be customized in XNConnect.
The custom names (labels) can be up to 23 characters and cannot contain the following
characters: ‘ “ \ = ? < >
To customize the channel names:
1.
In the Virtual Matrices view, click the “+” to the left of the Virtual Matrix.
2.
Click the “+” to the left of the Sources or Destinations folder.
3.
Right-click the channel you want to rename and select Change Name from the shortcut menu.
4.
Enter the new name in the Input Text dialog box and click OK.
The new channel name appears in the Name field.
Note: If a channel is in more than one VM (virtual matrix), you must repeat Step 4 for the channel
in each of the VMs.
5.
Customize additional channels by repeating Steps 3 and 4.
6.
Load the .xcl configuration file onto the system (see page 54).
7.
Using Save As (under the File menu), make a duplicate copy of the modified file with a new name
and save it to the PC. (We
strongly
recommend making a duplicate copy every time the file is
modified.)
Caution: The system must not be actively switching when loading this information onto the system.
