Diagnostics

 

         Expander Address

Shows letter address of all detected expanders, including the six native AVX-562 Cat 5 
matrix outputs. 

         Local IR

Shows on/off times of IR signals received through the front panel.

         Zone IR

Shows on/off times and carrier of IR signals received through the Cat 5 wallplate/
receivers.

         Firmware Version

Shows the firmware version loaded on each component of the AVAtrix system, and the 
firmware upgrades available on a flash card loaded in the card slot.

         Source and Control Restrictions

Shows the parental restrictions on sources to wallplate/receivers and local output.

f.  Assign Restrictions. These controls allow the 

system administrator to prevent a zone from 
viewing a source. This operation is password 
protected (2-3-6). It is recommended to set up 
these restrictions via the PC Utility (page 18).

g.  Save/Load File. When all custom options are 

complete, save the setup to the flash card in 
case system settings are changed or lost. The 
card can be kept either in the AVAtrix or in some 
other safe location. A card could also be used to 
quickly set up similar AVAtrix systems installed in 
other locations. The Installer can keep a copy of 
each AVAtrix installation on a card for reference. 
To initialize a blank card, download the files from 
www.audioauthority.com/page/software, expand 
the zip archive, and copy the files onto the card.

h.  Diagnostics. See Appendix C for instructions on 

IR, addressing, and other diagnostics.

Group view offers control of zone groups by name, and can be used 
in six-zone systems to name the zones.
