4. Select XNConnect.

The XNConnect program opens.

When XNConnect is open, use either of the following options for accessing the configuration:

 Discover the system; see below.

 Open the copy of the .xcl configuration file located on the AMX AutoPatch CD; see page 56.

Discovering a System

The discovery process queries the attached system for configuration information and properties,

including information regarding assigned signals and virtual matrix definitions. The discovery process

may take several minutes to complete.

To discover a system:

Disconnect any third-party control devices from the enclosure’s serial (CONTROL) port.

2. Connect the enclosure* to the PC (see page 23).

3. (If not already open) launch XNConnect (see page 54).

4. Open the Communication menu; select Serial Port.

5. Open the Communication menu again; select Change Comm Settings. Check the settings for the

selected port and adjust if necessary (the default is Com 1, baud rate 9600).

6. Optional – Click the Test button to verify that communication has been established with the

Optima SD system. Click OK.

7. From the File menu, select Discover System (the discovery may take a few minutes).

8. From the File menu, select Save to save the discovered configuration information to the PC.

9. From the File menu, select Save As and save an .xcl file with a new name to the PC.

(We recommend making a duplicate copy every time the file is modified.)

The configuration file is ready to be modified. Whenever changes are made, the new file must be loaded

onto the system to implement the changes (see page 62).

* Either of the Optima SD enclosures can be connected to the PC as long as they are linked together.
