Technical Support
Before contacting technical support with a question, please consult this manual. If you still have
questions, contact your AMX representative or technical support. Have your system’s serial number
ready (the number is normally located on the rear of the enclosure).
We recommend recording your system’s serial number in an easily accessible location.

Establishing an NXB-AP-1000 Connection (TCP/IP Port)
The NXB-AP-1000 connection (TCP/IP port) on the CPU provides an interface that allows you to make
various configuration settings via a web browser on any PC connected to the same LAN (Local Area
Network).
Important: The Epica DGX 32 uses DHCP by default.
The NXB-AP-1000 delivers HTML pages for setting up the system and a Java control applet, which
allows for remote control of an Epica DGX 16 or 32 using PC-based Internet browsing software.
The enclosure is connected via an RJ-45 link cable to a LAN. The basic directions for the LAN
connection follow. For setup details for the NXB-AP-1000 interface, see page 79. For controlling the
system through the interface, see page 95.
Important: Although it is also possible to provide access from outside a LAN via the Internet,
security issues for your LAN environment must be taken into account (contact your Network
Administrator).
System Setup for the NXB-AP-1000
Important: The Epica DGX 32 uses DHCP by default.
The system setup example below for using the NXB-AP-1000 interface illustrates an Epica DGX 32
Distribution Matrix connected to a LAN. Both computers in the illustration have access to the enclosure,
as does the NetLinx Controller.
Note: The NXB-AP-1000 interface can be used to control the system (via the XBar Controller)
without establishing a connection to a NetLinx Master; however, it must be connected to a LAN in
order to get an IP address from a DHCP server (after the network assigns a DHCP IP address, a
static IP address can be assigned in its place).
