There are many ways to control your XAP 800 and other networked units.This

chapter explains how to set up control for Control/Status A port using GPIO Builder,

XAP IR Remote and ClearOne Control Panel using Remote Builder and RS-232 port.

Control/Status A

GPIO stands for general-purpose input/output. The GPIO Builder is used to establish

the pin assignments for the 16 user definable pins on Control/Status Port A. These

pins provide control via contact closure and status via open collector functions in the

unit. Note that the pins numbered in blue are command pins; the pins numbered in

green are status pins. The default pin assignments are listed on page 88. You can

open GPIO Builder from the Flow Screen or the G-Ware toolbar.

The current (default) pin assignment is displayed in the Active

(Low)/Inactive (High) Command box.

that are available depend on the command selected. When you select an

argument, a description of it appears in the Argument Description box.

5.
