Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual
Executing a Test Switch with the XBar Controller
The NXB-AP-1000 Interface includes access to the XBar Controller for executing and disconnecting
switches on an AMX AutoPatch Routing System.
Before executing a test switch, make sure the first source device and the first destination device are
connected to the input and output connectors as indicated in the “AutoPatch Connector Guide” that
shipped with the system.
Note: For complete information on the XBar Controller, see page 93.
The test switch below routes Input 1 (source channel 1) to Output 1 (destination channel 1) on VM 0
(the default virtual matrix for the Epica DGX 32).
To execute a test switch with the XBar:
1.
Install the Java Plug-in* if necessary. (The plug-in is required before the XBar Controller can be
used.)
2. From the IP Control drop down menu, select Controller.
The XBar opens.
3. Click the blue crosspoint for routing Input 1 to Output 1.
(Crosspoints are located at the intersection of the inputs and outputs. Inputs are on the left; outputs
are across the top.)
The blue crosspoint image turns red as the switch is routed; the Status bar displays the BCS (Basic
Control Structure) command and “SUCCESS” to indicate the switch was executed.
* The Java Plug-in must be installed on your PC before the XBar Controller will work. This free Java
software may be downloaded from http//www.java.com. (Administrative login to the PC may be
required to install the Java Plug-in.)
To disconnect the test switch with the XBar:
1.
Click the red crosspoint. The red crosspoint image turns blue as the test switch is disconnected.
