6A. BME Power-Up Verification
All BMEs have the Diagnostics LEDs shown in Figure 2-3.A. The normal state of
the LEDs after power-up is Primary +V and -V LEDs ON. If the BME includes
redundant power supplies, the Redundant +V and -V LEDs will also be ON. If the
Primary power supply fails, its LEDs will be OFF and the Redundant LEDs will
blink.
The System Status LED will
initially blink indicating that
internal housekeeping is
occurring, when it goes solid ON,
the system is ready.
See Page 5-5 for additional
Diagnostics LEDs information.
7. Installing and starting the Matrix 6400 System Virtualization/ Control
Software
The Extron supplied software “Matrix 6400 System Virtualization/Control
Software” runs in the Windows® operating system. Communication between the
computer software and the switcher requires connecting a PC computer COMM
port to the RS-232/RS-422 Port on the rear panel of module BME #0. Minimum
PC system requirements are:
486-33 MHz CPU or equivalent with 16 MB RAM
5 MB Hard Disk space for software
______ If your Matrix 3200/6400 Series switcher was previously setup for RS-232, and
your PC Comm port uses RS-422, the switcher must be changed to match the
PC interface. The procedure for making the change begins on Page 5-1.
The program is contained on the Extron Software Products CD-ROM, disk B.
Install the software as follows:
1. Insert the CD-ROM into the drive. The installation program should start
automatically. If it does not self-start, run Launch.exe from the CD.
The Extron software CD window appears.
2. Click the Software tab .
