APWeb – Initial Setup by Network Admin

Executing & Disconnecting Switches

APWeb’s two control points for executing and disconnecting switches on an AMX AutoPatch Routing System are the crosspoints on the XBar Controller (see below) and the macros on the Execute Macro page (see page 85).

Executing & Disconnecting Switches on the XBar

The XBar Controller is a graphic interface control panel that executes switches on an AMX AutoPatch Routing System. The XBar can control specific parts of the system through routing levels, which are referred to as VMs (virtual matrices). For example, the XBar can switch audio-follow-video signals on one VM, video on another, and audio on yet another. The VM selected will determine which routing level is being controlled.

Any APWeb server for a single system can be accessed from up to five PCs at the same time. The XBar for that system can be operated simultaneously from all of the PCs using the same or different VMs. Simultaneous XBar users can open the VM Selection Pad and update status as needed. Keep in mind that executing switches on one VM may affect the routing state on the other VMs.

Note: Multiple independent AMX AutoPatch Routing Systems (each with some type of APWeb server, e.g., a TCP/IP connector on the CPU, an APWeb expansion board, or a module) can be controlled from a single PC. Each APWeb server can be assigned a unique IP address and a custom site name. The individual addresses can then be entered as needed in the browser.

Navigating the XBar Controller

The crosspoint images in the XBar’s crossbar field represent the intersections of the input channels and the output channels.

Use the following features to navigate the XBar:

VM title block – click to open the VM Selection Pad to change the routing level (VM) or update system status

Input channels (on left) – indicate the numbers of the source channels Output channels (on top) – indicate the numbers of the destination channels

Blue crosspoint – blue indicates that there is no active signal; click to route the signal (the crosspoint will remain blue if the switch is not completed)

Red crosspoint – red indicates an actively routed signal; click to disconnect the signal Cursor over crosspoint – move over I/O pairs to display channel numbers
