10. Once the PC-to-Pathfinder communications function is working correctly as
described previously in item 8, you should verify that all of the
DMXPathfinder module frames are responding to commands from the PC.
Click on View, DMXPathfinder Control, then choose the Patch Rack tab.
This screen contains sixteen graphical red LEDs, each corresponding to a
module frame in the largest possible DMXPathfinder system. Click on the
Retrieve Patch Rack Info button, and one or more of the LEDs should turn
green according to the actual installed configuration of your system. Any
LEDs that remain red when they should be green points to hardware
configuration or installation errors – refer to the DMXPathfinder Operation &
Maintenance Manual or consult with the Factory for assistance. The most
likely causes, however, will be incorrectly addressed modules or internal
cabling problems.
11. Click on the Close button to exit from the DMXPathfinder Control window.
12. The last thing to do is enable DMXQConnect to send patch files to the
DMXPathfinder rack. At the top right of the main screen you will see the
Patch Mode pane. Change the mode from Offline to Batch, then click on
the “send” icon below. A “DMXQConnect Serialization” window will appear if
the software has not been previously enabled. (If QConnect has already
been enabled, a moving bar graph will appear under the send button -- skip
the remaining steps). You should see a 15-digit Activation Serial Number;
record this on a piece of paper and contact the Factory at (403) 243-8110 or
fax (403) 287-1281 to obtain an authorization number. When you receive
the 8-digit number, enter it into the Activation Key window and click OK.
