XP-HT v1.3 - On-Site Installer’s Guide

Use the auto-generated report file as your installation check list.

DXP-HT generates a report file named report.html, which can be opened in any web browser. It

identifies each step in the installation process. Follow the steps in the report and installation

problems will be minimized.

The Design XPress Home Theater Application

The first step in defining the system is to run the DXP-HT application. This Windows® based

wizard should probably be run in the office well in advance of going on-site. With this wizard you

define the locations of all equipment, the number of user interface devices, lighting scenes, audio

source equipment, etc. The DXP-HT Programmer’s Guide gives a good overview of this

application. One note, however, related to the lighting addresses. Lighting addresses consist of

keypad address and button. The keypad address is the address of the keypad for the lighting system

being used and must be represented in the format for that lighting system.

For the AMX ALD-D48, the address is the 7-digit ID number of the ALD-D48 Device

Server.

For the AMX Radia the address is the AXlink address of the Radia MC.

The only valid keypad address characters are 0-9, A-F, and : (colon). For reference, here

are the formats for the various supported lighting systems:

Click the Apply button after editing a preset to apply the changes.
