NXB-AP-1000 Interface – Initial Setup by
Network Admin
Overview
Applicability Notice
The information in this chapter covers the NXB-AP-1000 interface v1.0.0.1.
Important: If you have not already done so, see the installation instructions for the TCP/IP to LAN
connection (page 42).
When the NXB-AP-1000 interface is accessed, the NXB-AP-1000 delivers HTML pages for setting up
the system and a Java control applet, which allows for remote control of an AMX AutoPatch Routing
System using PC-based Internet browsing software. The interface can also function as a Tunneling
Access Point (TAP).
Note: A single PC can access multiple AMX AutoPatch Routing Systems, as long as each system
has TCP/IP capability; each NXB-AP-1000 interface must
be assigned a unique IP address.
Furthermore, each system can contain multiple enclosures, as long as it is configured as a single
system.
The NXB-AP-1000 interface information is divided into three chapters.
This chapter provides NXB-AP-1000 interface setup information for the Network Administrator doing
the initial setup or ongoing server maintenance. It includes information on:
 Determining the IP address
 Opening the NXB-AP-1000 interface
 Navigating the NXB-AP-1000 interface
 Getting a DHCP IP address (default)
 Setting a static IP address (optional)
 Configuring a connection to a NetLinx Master
 Handling security issues
 Executing a test switch with the XBar controller
 Customizing the XBar controller
 Editing the Clock Manager Settings
 DoD Security mode and ICSP support
The next NXB-AP-1000 chapter, “NXB-AP-1000 Interface – Controlling an Epica DGX 16 or 32,”
contains complete instructions for the person controlling an Epica DGX 16 or 32 through the
NXB-AP-1000 interface after the setup is complete.
The third NXB-AP-1000 chapter, “NXB-AP-1000 Interface – Additional Info for Network Admin,”
covers the advanced topics of upgrading the firmware, embedding the XBar applet, and changing the
proxy setting.
Caution: We strongly recommend a Network Administrator set up the system even if DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), gateways, firewalls, etc. are not being used.
