Creating Local Presets (Macros)

A local preset is a predetermined collection of switches on the same virtual matrix (level) to be routed simultaneously. Executing a local preset affects only those inputs and outputs specified, not the whole system. Local presets are defined using XNConnect and can be executed using the control panel or using BCS commands entered as part of a macro in APControl 3.0 or APWeb or entered in a terminal emulation program. The process for creating local presets involves three dialog boxes that cover managing, naming, and modifying presets.

The instructions below are for creating a local preset. For detailed information on modifying and deleting local presets, see the XNConnect Help file.

To create a new local preset:

1.In the Virtual Matrices view, right-click the virtual matrix (level) the preset will be created for and select Manage Local Presets from the shortcut menu.

The Manage Local Presets dialog box opens.

2.Click the Name New button.

The Name New Preset dialog box opens.

3.Optional – Enter a different preset number (local presets do not need to be numbered sequentially).

4.Enter a name for the new preset.

5.Optional – Enter a description.

6.Click OK.

The Modify Preset dialog box opens.
