Installing & Launching XNConnect

Use XNConnect software only if you need to customize or change the configuration information from
the original specification.

Even if XNConnect is already on your PC, install the newest version that shipped on the CD that shipped
with your system. We strongly recommend uninstalling the old version of XNConnect before installing a
new version.

If you cannot locate the AMX AutoPatch CD that shipped with your system, contact technical support
(see page 32).
