To assign a port to a audio channel, either manually enter in the numerical value or use the Browse
button to search the network for advertised sources.
NOTE: Appendix A covers common pre-defined functions established by Axia consoles.

Pathfinder control. The Axia Pathfinder series of routing automation products have the ability to
observe GPIO activity, as well as trigger GPO activity. No xSelector configuration is necessary to
support this method — all configuration is done using the tools found in Pathfinder. Please review
your Pathfinder documentation for detailed instructions.
To the right of the channel fields are groups of squares which represent the inputs and outputs. When a
GPIO is in the high state, the square will be black in color. A square in green represents the pin is active-
low. (Note that this is simply a graphical representation of a pin’s state, and is not used to control the
states.) Changes made here will take place after clicking the Apply button.
Advanced Options Screens
While you’ve already defined the properties for GPIO, sources and destinations, more advanced features such as
AES 67 implementation and multicasting are available under the advanced options menu. Other parameters included
here include: meters, Quality of Service (QoS), synchronization and live audio/clock streams.
Advanced Options – Sources
The advanced option for sources lets you configure source details more finely than the Simple Setup does.

• Source Name:
This is the same property described in Simple Setup. The source name will be displayed on
other devices in your Livewire network to identify the source supplied by the audio inputs of your xSelec-
tor.
• Channel/Address: The channel number is a numerical value from 1 to 32,767. This number is used to
define the multicast address used for the data stream that carries the device’s audio. xSelector also allows
for entering an address directly, for future AES67 implementations; for Livewire installations, simply enter
a numerical value that fits within your facility’s channel numbering schema.
