Installation & Setup
22 Optima SD Instruction Manual
Attaching External Controllers
The Optima SD can be controlled by attaching an external control device that uses one of the
communication protocols listed below:
BCS (Serial) – ASCII sent over a null modem serial cable via the CONTROL (RS-232) port
XNNet – AMX AutoPatch protocol via the REMOTE port or CONTROL (RS-232) port;
AMX AutoPatch control and accessory devices usually connect via the REMOTE port
Important: The ENC LINK ( Ethernet RJ-45) port on the CPU is not for a TCP/IP connection.
The ENC LINK port is used for linking enclosures (see page 19).
External Control Options
The communication protocols listed above are used for these control options:
AMX Control Devices
The Optima SD is compatible with a number of AMX control devices. For control programming
information, see the instruction manual for the specific device.
AMX AutoPatch Remote Control Devices
AMX AutoPatch control devices (SBC control pads, Preset SBC control pads, and remote control
panels) usually connect to the REMOTE port on the CPU board. For instructions for attaching a remote
controller to the REMOTE port, see page 25. For specific information on the remote control device, see
its product documentation.
APControl 3.0
APControl 3.0 software (for control and scheduling) runs on a PC connected to an Optima SD enclosure
via the CONTROL (RS-232) port and is available on the
AMX AutoPatch CD . APControl 3.0 has a setup
wizard that discovers the system’s configuration information.
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). An APWeb expansion board
or an
APWeb Server module is required for APWeb. For setup and operation information, see the
“APWeb Expansion Board” chapter on page 45 or the APWeb Server Module’s documentation on the
AMX AutoPatch CD and at www.amx.com .
Important: Contact AMX regarding limitations and conditions for operating an Optima SD system on
a company LAN.
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 or at www.amx.com .
Third-Party Controllers (Serial)
Third-party controllers connect to the CONTROL (RS-232) port on the CPU. If using a third-party
controller, see the controller documentation for setup and operating instructions.
Note: 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 and has examples of the XNNet
protocol in use.
