4. Check the splash screen* to be sure the VIS board has been detected and is enabled (FIG. 121).
* Your splash screen may differ. AMX reserves the right to change the contents and/or formatting of the splash
screen without notice.
If the sync board is not detected and enabled:
(If the splash screen either reports a failure or does not report on the sync board:)
Power the system down.
Ensure the board is aligned with the board guides and is firmly in place.
Check that the source of the master sync signal is providing a good signal.
Re-enter ~scr! into HyperTerminal. Check the splash screen to see if the sync board is
detected. If it is still not detected, contact technical support (see page 43).
Enabling the VIS Board
To complete the installation, the VIS board must be enabled using one of the following two methods.
If the original configuration file has not been modified, use XNConnect to load the new file
that shipped with the board (see “Loading a Configuration File” on page 156). The new file
automatically enables the VIS board for the system.
If the original configuration file has been modified (local presets, names, etc.) and you do not
want to replace it follow the steps below.
Note: We recommend keeping a copy of the former configuration file for reference.
When loading any part of a configuration file, the matrix switcher must not be actively switching. You
may want to disconnect any external controllers to ensure that no switches are executed during the
loading of the file.
To enable a VIS board using XNConnect:
1.
Install XNConnect from the AMX AutoPatch CD sent with the new board. (If XNConnect is already
installed on the PC, we strongly recommend uninstalling the old version before installing a new
version).
2. Open XNConnect.
3. Using the standard File Open dialog box, locate and open your XCL (*.xcl) configuration file that
was sent with the new board. The default location is in the C:\AutoPatch\Configuration
Software<Version>\MyXCL folder.
