Installation & Setup

8.Execute a test switch to ensure the system is working properly; see “Executing a Test Switch” on page 30.

9.When the test switch works correctly, attach the remaining source and destination devices.

Additional Installation Options

Additional installation tasks may include the following:

Setting a control panel password – See the “Control Panel Operations” chapter (page 62) Labeling input and output keys – See the “Control Panel Operations” chapter (page 46) Creating global presets – See the BCS Protocol Instruction Manual on the

AMX AutoPatch CD or at www.amx.com

Linking Enclosures

Important: An Octaire Distribution Matrix is a fixed system. Do not link an Octaire enclosure to another type of AMX AutoPatch enclosure or to another Octaire enclosure which is not part of its factory-defined system.

Linking enclosures in a multi-enclosure system allows control information to pass between them with the LINK (RJ-45) ports providing consistent control speed.

In a multi-enclosure Octaire system, the enclosure with the control panel (referred to as the primary enclosure) receives control information (from the control panel or an external controller) and passes on relevant information to the other enclosures via the links as well as retrieving control requests for success/failure from each of them.

Caution: AMX AutoPatch systems can only be linked in their own isolated networks.

Link Cable Requirements

Octaire enclosures link directly to each other via the two LINK ports (RJ-45) at the lower right using the crossover cables that are provided. (Straight-through cable can also be used for linking. If straight- through cable is used, use it consistently between all enclosures in the system.)

Crossover Cable Specifications

Wiring – Wired to TIA / EIA-568-A on one end and TIA / EIA-568-B on the other end

Length – Maximum length is 100 ft. (30.5 m)

Caution: Enclosures must be cabled correctly after linking. To ensure that you are attaching the correct signal cables to the correct enclosure, check the labels designating the signal type on the rear of the enclosure and the “Octaire AutoPatch Connector Guide” (page 96).

Linking Two Octaire Enclosures:

Link two Octaire enclosures together via the LINK (RJ-45) ports using the provided crossover cable.

Link cable – crossover or straight-through

Length of provided crossover cable: 3 ft. (0.9 m)

FIG. 10 Link two Octaire enclosures with the provided cable or up to 100 ft. (30.5 m) apart
