Portions of the AMX Software may, from time to time, as identified in the AMX Software, include PRE-RELEASE CODE and such code may not be at the level of performance, compatibility and functionality of the final code. The PRERELEASE CODE may not operate correctly and may be substantially modified prior to final release or certain features may not be generally released. AMX is not obligated to make or support any PRE-RELEASE CODE. [. . . ] Most of the features are tied into another feature or affect another part of the software. The architecture of the system design and the function of the file being modified should be understood prior to proceeding with changes. Another common mistake is forgetting to properly address a device. Unless all devices are addressed as defined in the report file the system will not work as desired.

The report is broken down into the following five sections: Installation Instructions Device Addressing Wiring/Connections General Information AMX Recommended Equipment List Installation Instructions This section of the report indicates which files need to be downloaded, and describes device mapping, working with IR files, compile and download operations (via NetLinx Studio), how to FTP externally, and how to reboot the NetLinx master.

HTML files in the project directory to the root directory on the NetLinx Master. Reboot the Master for the changes to take effect. Device Addressing This section defines the device IDs of all the devices defined by DXP-HT. The devices listed in this section must be set to the given device IDs. If this is not done the system will not behave properly. This section is divided up by device type: touch panels and miscellaneous. Most devices will need to have their device IDs set using NetLinx Studio. The exceptions to this are the touch panels. Their device IDs must be set from the setup screen on the panel itself. Make sure when the device ID is set that the number of devices used on the touch panel is also set. DXP-HT uses 4 devices on each touch panel.

NetLinx studio can be used for most downloads, but any file in the Other branch of the project tree will need to be loaded on the master using FTP (file transfer protocol). This document will assume the user knows how to download files using NetLinx Studio. [. . . ]
