AXYS ® Intellivox 808/1608 Installation Manual Rev 1.1

4. SYSTEM CHECKS

After installation and connection are complete, the installer should upload the settings file into the IntelliAmp with

WinControl software. The upload procedure will verify the system’s correct operation.

This section of the manual describes the file upload procedure. It assumes that a laptop (or other computer) with both WinControl software and a driver for the RS-485 interface already installed is available, together with the

AXYS ® (or other suitable) RS-485 interface. It also assumes that the installer has the settings files, prepared by the system designer, for each Intellivox loudspeaker making up the system. These may be elsewhere on the laptop’s hard drive, or may be supplied separately on removable media such as a memory stick or a CD-ROM. No previous knowledge of WinControl is necessary, but basic familiarity with Windows file handling is required.

A full description of WinControl is beyond the scope of this manual and further information is available in the application’s Help files. Instructions on how to install

WinControl on a PC are included with the Program Set.

Instructions on the use of the AXYS  RS-485 interface are included with the interface itself.

CoNNECTING THE PC To THE INTEllIAMP

The PC connects to the IntelliAmp via an RS-485 interface adapter. (Two versions of adapter are available from

AXYS ® , for connecting to PCs either via a USB or an RS-

232 port).

The most convenient method of connecting to the

IntelliAmp is usually via the 5-pin XLR on the front panel.

Use either a 5-pin XLR to 5-pin XLR cable or a 5-pin XLR to 9-pin Dsub cable. These cables are supplied with the

WinControl Program Set, the type depends on the RS-485 interface type*. Alternatively, the IntelliAmp’s RS-485 network port may be accessed via the rear panel WAGO connector; (this may be a simpler option in situations where multiple amplifiers have been interconnected as all amplifiers may be addressed from a single PC access point). There is no difference in functionality between the front and rear panel RS-485 connectors.

The RS-485 interface should then be connected to either the PC’s 9-pin COM port (in the case of a RS-232 to

RS-485 interface) or a USB port (in the case of a USB to

RS-485 interface).

* Cables to connect the RS-485 interface to the Intellivox system may also be ordered separately from JBL – see page 22 for ordering information.
