APWeb Startup

If you have not already done so, use the TCP/IP port on the primary enclosure to connect to a LAN or to a PC (see page 36).

Serial Control Device Startup

If you have not already done so, use the DB-9 Port on the primary enclosure to attach the serial control device to the enclosure (see page 24) and open your control program.

NetLinx® Compatible

AMX AutoPatch distribution matrices are NetLinx® compatible and support Device Discovery. For specific control programming information, contact your AMX representative.

Important: Device Discovery functionality (beacon response) will only function properly if the NetLinx master is connected to the RS-232 control port on the primary enclosure (the one with the control panel).

APControl 3.0

If you are using APControl 3.0, install and open the program. Follow the directions in Step 4 on page 26. From the Launchbar menu, select Views / CrossBar and click on the crosspoints to execute switches.

HyperTerminal

When power is applied to the enclosure, HyperTerminal displays a one-line splash screen followed by “Ready” (FIG. 22). The system is ready to execute a test switch (see page 30). If you need to access advanced system information, see Appendix B, “Programmer’s Interface for System Diagnostics” on page 97.
