On-SIte Installer Overview On-SIte Installer Overview Introduction Design XPress - Professional (DXP-PRO)™ is a software package developed to assist AMX dealers in quickly designing, installing, and programming a control system. The type of control system created using DXP-PRO allows the selection and control of audio/video sources, audio/video switchers, display devices, room lighting, and audio/video conference equipment (among other functions).
On-SIte Installer Overview DXP-PRO generates all of the program and configuration files the installer needs. It also generates a report file that contains an equipment list, addresses for all devices in the system, a device wiring, and connection list detailing where the devices should be plugged in, and installation instructions. Refer to the Understanding the Report File section on page 13 for more detailed information. It should be noted that DXP-PRO can be used by anyone.
On-SIte Installer Overview Don't get ahead of yourself Skipping steps in the installation process can cause problems in later steps. This will cost you more installation time. Use the auto-generated report file as your installation check list Design XPress - Professional 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.

Understanding the Report File Understanding the Report File The report file (Report.html) automatically generated by Design XPress should be used as a step-by-step guide to installing the system.
Understanding the Report File Device Addressing This section defines the Device IDs of all the devices defined by Design XPress - Professional (DXP-PRO). The devices listed in this section must be set to the given device IDs. If this is not done the system will not behave properly. This section is divided up by device type: touch panels and miscellaneous. Most device IDs are set inside the NetLinx code. These devices must be connected to the correct port of the NetLinx Controller to operate properly.
Understanding the Report File Macros This section of the report details all Macros added in the system, as well as a list of all steps contained in each Macro. Use this section to ensure that all of the intended functionality for each Macro has been added.

Using NetLinx Studio Using NetLinx Studio Upon completion of the Design XPress wizard the next step is to use NetLinx Studio to open the created project file. From this point on, this document assumes the installer has a good understanding of NetLinx Studio (it can be a difficult installation if the installer is a first time Design XPress user and a first time NetLinx Studio user).
Using NetLinx Studio Setting Up the Master Some files will need to be transferred to the Master outside of NetLinx Studio, using FTP (file transfer protocol). To accomplish this, communication cannot take place over a serial cable using the program port on the Master. Instead, it must be done via Ethernet. Therefore it is always recommended that all downloads and communication between NetLinx Studio and the Master be done via Ethernet. Using Ethernet also results in faster transfers.
Using NetLinx Studio 9. Click on the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the System. The default System value is one. 10. Right-click on the Empty Device Tree entry and select Refresh System to establish a new connection to the System's Master and refresh the list with online system devices. The communication method is highlighted in green on the bottom of the NetLinx Studio window. Setting the System Value 1. Access/open the Device Addressing dialog box (FIG.
Using NetLinx Studio 10. Use Ctrl+S to save your existing NetLinx Project with the new changes. Changing the Device Address on a NetLinx Device Each device used by Design XPress - Professional (DXP-PRO) and identified in the report file must have a unique NetLinx ID. Therefore, each device will need to be addressed so it can be properly controlled. The easiest method for setting device addresses is to connect each device onto the bus one at a time.
Using NetLinx Studio This dialog represents the only way to change the device value of a selected NetLinx device (such as a Modero panel). 2. Select the Change Device checkbox from the Device to Change section. 3. Enter both the Current and New Device address values for the target NetLinx device. 4. Click the Change Device/System Number button.
Using NetLinx Studio Recommended NetLinx Device numbers • 1 - 255 • Axcess Devices use Axcess standards • 301 - 3072 • NetLinx CardFrames start at frame number 25 - (frame# * 12) + Card # • 5001 - 5999 • ICSNet NetLinx devices: NXI, NXM-COM2, NXM-IRS4, etc.
Using NetLinx Studio DO NOT enter ANY IP information at this time; this step only gets the System Master to recognize that it should begin using an obtained DHCP Address. 6. Note the obtained IP Address. This information is later entered into the Master Communication Settings dialog and used by NetLinx Studio 2.2 (or higher) to communicate to the Master via an IP. This address is reserved by the DHCP server and then given to the Master.
Using NetLinx Studio System Address reflects the value set in the Device Addressing tab Used to assign an IP Address FIG. 5 Network Addresses dialog (showing Set IP) 6. Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway information into their respective fields. 7. Click the Set IP Information button to retain a known IP Address (obtained from the System Administrator) on the specified System Master. 8. Click OK to accept the new changes. 9.
Using NetLinx Studio Follow the steps outlined in either the Obtaining the Master’s IP Address (using DHCP) section on page 22 or Assigning a Static IP to the NetLinx Master section on page 23. 3. Select Settings > Master Communication Settings from the Main menu to open the Master Communication Settings dialog (FIG. 6). FIG. 6 Assigning Communication Settings and TCP/IP Settings 4. Click the Communications Settings button to open the Communications Settings dialog. 5.
Using NetLinx Studio communication method is then highlighted in green on the bottom of the NetLinx Studio window. If the connection fails to establish, a Connection Failed dialog appears. Try selecting a different IP Address if communication fails. Press the Retry button to reconnect using the same communication parameters. Press the Change button to alter your communication parameters and repeat steps 2 thru 10. 15.
