Creating a virtual I/O switching sysstem (map)

The following detailed example uses the Virtualization/Control software to create a virtual I/O switching system within the physical hardware. This process generates and uploads a virtual map to the Matrix 12800 hardware.

The physical Matrix 12800 system consists of from one to nine BMEs, each of which can have as many as 128 inputs and 128 outputs in 1 to 7 virtual planes.

Create a virtual I/O switching map as follows:

1.

Ensure that all BMEs that are part of the system have been connected to each

 

other and their BME numbers have been set correctly. Connect a serial cable

 

between the PC and the Primary RS-232/RS-422 port on BME 0. Power up

 

the Matrix 12800 system. See chapter 2, “Installation”.

2.

On the PC, click Start > Programs > Extron Electronics >

 

Matrix 6400+12800 Control Program to start the program. The Comm Port

 

Selection window (figure 3-1) appears, asking you to select the appropriate PC

 

Comm port, the Ethernet port, or to select Emulate mode. For this example,

 

select an RS-232 port, but do not click OK yet.

3.

Check the baud rate displayed in the comm port selection

 

window. If you need to change the baud rate, click the

 

Baud button and double-click the desired baud rate.

Available rates are 9600, 19200, 38400, and 115200. The default is 9600.

Click OK.
