3.4 Creating a project file
A project (stored and exported as an *.hxn file) provides a container for your
configurations, and may comprise one or many configurations for one or many matrices.
A project can be used to define every aspect of a complex intercom system, including the
connectivity between multiple, intelligently linked matrices and/or the configurations for
individual matrices.
An unlimited number of projects may be stored on the EHX PC or on a server.
A configuration determines the operating parameters of the Eclipse HX v7.5 system.
When you first create a configuration, the file does not have any content. EHX is used to
populate the configuration with details of the system, including:
• The user panels, interface cards, interface modules and control devices
associated with the matrix / matrices.
• The labels (alphanumeric names) assigned to each device.
To create a project file:
1) Select File > New Project (Control-N).
Note: Control-N can be used when in any EHX mode to start a new
configuration map.
2) If you are running EHX in Client-Server mode, enter a name for the project in the
dialog. Click Save.
The project name is displayed on the title bar at the top of the screen.
3.5 Setting up a new matrix
When a new project has been created, matrices can be added to the project. There are
two ways to set up a new matrix:
• Adding an offline matrix
• Adding a discovered matrix
Note: Matrices that are added to a project are allocated the next available system number at the
time that they are added to the project.
3.5.1 Adding an offline matrix
If the matrix you want to configure is unavailable (for example, the matrix has yet to be
installed), you can still add that matrix to EHX.
To add an offline matrix:
1) Right click the right hand System pane.
2) Click Add Matrix. A matrix, with generic information, is added to the layout pane.
Note: An offline matrix is always displayed gray on the layout pane.
