Installation and Setup

Epica DGX 16 and Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual

2. If the port specifies the Com number, go to Step 4.

If the port does not specify the Com number, right-click AutoPatch USB Bridge and select

Properties and complete all remaining steps.

3. In the AutoPatch USB Bridge Properties dialog box, select the General tab.

4. Make note of the Com port assigned to the AutoPatch USB Bridge. This port number must be

entered when setting a connection in a software program or terminal emulation program. The PC

will always associate a specific USB connector with the assigned virtual Com port. The PC will not

recognize the Epica DGX 16 or 32 if you disconnect and reconnect using a different Com port on

the PC. However, it will attempt to install a new virtual Com port using the new port. If completed,

the new port will be assigned a different Com number.

5. Set up and run the desired application:

 AMX Controller – For control programming information, see the instruction manual for the

specific interface.

 APControl 3.0 – Install and open the program (located on the AMX AutoPatch CD). Follow

the setup wizard. Manually create the VM (virtual matrix) and specify the number of inputs

and outputs. Open the APControl Launchbar. From the Launchbar menu, select Views /

CrossBar and click the crosspoints to execute switches.

 HyperTerminal – Open the program (typically at start/

Programs/Accessories/Communications/HyperTerminal).

Check to be sure the Communications Port option is set for

the port determined in the previous steps. Set the settings to

match the default ones in the Serial Port Settings table to the

right. Click OK. A short splash screen appears.

 XBar (NXB-AP-1000 interface) – See page 95.

6. Execute a test switch to make sure the Epica DGX 16 or 32 is working properly (see page 40).
