Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual

2. If the port specifies the Com number, go to Step 4.

If the port does not specify the Com number, right-click AutoPatch USB Bridge and select

Properties and complete all remaining steps.

3. In the AutoPatch USB Bridge Properties dialog box, select the General tab.

4. Make note of the Com port assigned to the AutoPatch USB Bridge. This port number must be

entered when setting a connection in a software program or terminal emulation program. The PC

will always associate a specific USB connector with the assigned virtual Com port. The PC will not

recognize the Epica DGX 32 if you disconnect and reconnect using a different Com port on the PC.

However, it will attempt to install a new virtual Com port using the new port. If completed, the new

port will be assigned a different Com number.

5. Set up and run the desired application:

 AMX Controller – For control programming information, see the instruction manual for the

specific interface.

 APControl 3.0 – Install and open the program (located on the AMX AutoPatch CD). Follow

the setup wizard. Manually create the VM (virtual matrix) and specify the number of inputs

and outputs. Open the APControl Launchbar. From the Launchbar menu, select Views /

CrossBar and click the crosspoints to execute switches.

 Terminal emulation – Open the program. Check to be sure

the Communications Port option is set for the port

determined in the previous steps. Set the settings to match

the default ones in the Epica DGX 32 Serial Port Settings

table to the right. Click OK. A short splash screen appears.

 XBar (NXB-AP-1000 Interface) – See page 93.
