8.1 Conceptual Overview

The physical component(s) of a system can be a standalone matrix

switcher or multiple matrix switchers with or without additional

controllers. Opening a copy of the system’s configuration (.xcl) file

directly to X

Connect Configuration software allows you to use

Connect’s four basic functions:

Connect graphically displays the content of the AutoPatch

configuration file. This information is represented in two main

views, the “Hardware” view and the “Virtual Matrices” view.

The representations can be modified to reflect desired physical

changes to the system.

When replacement or new components are added to the system, their

configurable properties can be set to the desired values.

The new configuration information can then be downloaded to the

system’s CPU(s).

8.2 Installing and Launching

Connect is a graphical software program that displays your most

recent configuration and allows easy addition of local presets and

modification of other configuration information (see the X

Connect Help

file for assistance). X

Connect can also download the modified file to

the system.

Note: Use this software only if you need to change the configuration

information from the original specification.

To install X

Connect:

1. Close all other applications currently running on your PC.

2. Insert the AutoPatch Configuration Software Disk 1 into your floppy

drive.

3. From the Start menu in Windows, select Run.

4. Type in A:\setup.exe (or the letter for whichever floppy drive you are

using) and click OK.

5. Follow the directions in the subsequent dialogs in the install

program.
