Setup guide

Terms to Know
Before jumping into the technical details of this manual, you should be
familiar with the following terms:
Basic Control Structure (BCS)
BCS is a set of alphanumeric characters that combine to form command
lines. Use BCS to control a system from any serial device that allows you
to enter characters, such as a PC (personal computer).
Configuration File
A configuration file is a text file containing system configuration
information referenced by each enclosure’s CPU during any type of
switch operation. If a system has multiple enclosures linked together,
configuration information uploaded to any Modula enclosure is
automatically shared with the rest of the linked enclosures in the system.
CP-20MD Control Panel
An optional panel on the front of the enclosure with a graphic LCD that
uses keys and a dial for entering commands. The menu options are
multilevel with the ability to display custom source and destination
descriptions defined by the configuration file.
CP-10MD Control Panel
An optional panel on the front of the enclosure with an LCD screen and
keys for entering commands. The CP-10MD Control Panel is designed
for system control of the Modula Distribution Matrix.
ESD
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) refers to electrical charges (such as static
electricity) that can damage sensitive components inside an enclosure.
The graphic to the left of this definition precedes every procedure where
ESD damage could occur if you are not properly grounded and not
handling components correctly (see the Caution page inside the front
cover of this guide for more details about ESD).
