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.

To program control/status pins

1. Select

the

Control/Status A pin you want to configure.

The current (default) pin assignment is displayed in the Active
(Low)/Inactive (High) Command box.

2. Select

the

Device Type and ID from their respective lists.

3.

Select the Command from the Command list. When you select a command,
a description of it appears in the Command Description box.

4.

Select the command parameters from the argument lists. The parameters
that are available depend on the command selected. When you select an
argument, a description of it appears in the Argument Description box.

5. Click

Apply to apply the changes you have made to the selected pin. Or,

click Clear to clear any programming for the pin.
