Figure 5-9.A Adding BMEs to a Matrix 3200/6400 system

Adding BME(s) to an existing Matrix 3200/6400 System involves doing most of the same steps as an initial installation. Extron recommends that the following steps be done in the order listed to add a Video BME (maximum Video BMEs per system = 3) and/or an Audio BME (maximum Audio BMEs per system = 1) to an existing system.

1.See Page 5-11 “Software Procedure - Before and After a Hardware Upgrade”. Do steps under “Before Hardware Changes” before making any hardware changes.

______ To ignore step 1 and proceed with the hardware upgrade will require considerable

system reconfiguration time. It is highly recommended that you not skip any step.

2.Remove power before proceeding. Go to “Adding a Video and/or an Audio BME” (below). If this is not a Video or Audio BME add-on, go to Chapter 2.

3.Set the BME address numbers (0 - 5). (Page 2-2)

4.Connect the BME COMM interconnecting cable(s). (Page 2-2)
