3. V INN Connection Summary Bottom line hooking up the 4L is a relatively simple matter Just get power to each panel either by bussing a power supply out to the string or by local supplies at each panel and hook up the network Remember the data net work is a bus but physically it can be wired in any combination of a single daisy chain or individual home runs All RS 485 data cables must return to the MediaMatrix processor and be wired to a single RS 485 data port Finally you should terminate the ground wire from the panel to the ground pin of the MediaMatrix RS 485 port As far as installation goes that s pretty much it Let s move on to the software configuration and addressing MEDIAMATRIX A DIVISION OF PEAVEY ELECTRONICS CORP PAGE 23 t 1585 V 2 re CN i XCONTROL AL DESIGNER S MANUAL Configuration Overview Configuring the 4L involves setting the following functions e Knob Base Address e Panel Function Type Before attempting to configure the 4L make sure that your system is complete ly wired and the XControl network is terminated correctly to a MediaMatrix system The power should be on for both the MediaMatrix system and the XControl power supply Configuring the 4L is accomplished by adjusting the rear panel DIP switch The DIP switch includes 8 two position switches labeled 1 8 Switches 1 amp 2 should be set as shown in the illustration below a
