Adding BME(s) to a Matrix 3200/6400 System
Figure 5-9.A Adding BMEs to a Matrix 3200/6400 system
Adding BME(s) to an existing Matrix 3200/6400 System involves doing most of
the same steps as an initial installation. Extron recommends that the following
steps be done in the order listed to add a Video BME (maximum Video BMEs per
system = 3) and/or an Audio BME (maximum Audio BMEs per system = 1) to an
existing system.
1. See Page 5-11 “Software Procedure - Before and After a Hardware Upgrade”.
Do steps under “Before Hardware Changes” before making any hardware
changes.
______ To ignore step 1 and proceed with the hardware upgrade will require considerable
system reconfiguration time. It is highly recommended that you not skip any step.
2. Remove power before proceeding. Go to “Adding a Video and/or an Audio BME”
(below). If this is not a Video or Audio BME add-on, go to Chapter 2.
3. Set the BME address numbers (0 - 5). (Page 2-2)
4. Connect the BME COMM interconnecting cable(s). (Page 2-2)
