Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual

To install APDiagnostics using the serial port:

1.

Attach a null modem serial cable without hardware flow control to the Control (DB-9 serial) port on
the Epica DGX 32. Use a null modem cable that matches the pin diagram below for RS-232.
AMX AutoPatch equipment requires pins 2, 3, and 5 only.

2.

Attach the other end of the null modem cable to a PC.

3.

Use serial communication software to make sure the PC’s baud rate is
set correctly for the system. The recommended (default) settings for
serial communication for an Epica DGX 32 are provided in the table to
the right.

4.

Insert the

AMX AutoPatch CD

into your CD drive to start automatically.

If the CD does not autorun, explore the CD folder and double-click the
Index.html file.

5.

Select Software and find APDiagnostics.

6.

Optional – Select Release Notes to read about the software before installation.

7.

Select Install; follow the directions in the subsequent dialog boxes.

8.

If applicable – For multiple-enclosure systems, you will be prompted to select the enclosure (only
those supporting APDiagnostics will be available) that you want to monitor.

9.

Open APDiagnostics in Acquisition mode.*

10.

Select Comm / Settings.

11.

Select the Serial Port tab and set the Comm ID and baud rate (9600).

12.

Click Accept.

* The default preference is to open APDiagnostics in Acquisition mode.
