should move the ‘write protect’ switch to the ‘protected’
position. This will prevent any accidental or unauthorized
changes in configuration.

If you hit this command in error, hitting an

ape key will get you back to the setup mode. All
of the setup commands which don't take effect immedi-
ately, take effect when the eXit command is entered.
This includes things like the BAUD RATE, so you will have to
change the baud rate of the terminal you are using at
this time.

For compatibility with other products which might be

on the same RS-422 serial network, this command asks
you to enter a ‘Y’ or ‘N’. This lets them know that the setup
mode has been exited on this card. If you hit this com-
mand by mistake, then you can hit the ape key
to get back to where you were before.

All other Audio Repeater cards and Smart Brick Brains

in the same serial network have their serial ports disabled
while any card in the system is in setup mode. This is the
only command to which they will respond. After the initial
'X', all of the other cards wait for a 'Y' or 'N' before they will
start accepting other serial commands again. If you find
that you are having trouble communicating with any of
the cards in the system, try entering an ‘XN’ to trick it into
thinking you have exited the configuration mode.
