Programming
If you plan on using the default settings (listed on the next page), disregard the fol-
lowing steps. If you require changes to the default settings, follow the steps below
to configure the GPI-16:
HyperTerminal set up and startup
NOTE: Step by step HyperTerminal setup instructions are available on-line at
www.broadcasttools.com under “Downloads”.
1 - Start HyperTerminal (or your favorite com program) configured for: com port x,
9600,8,N, 1, flow control to NONE, Emulation set to ANSI.
2 - Connect the supplied power supply connector in to the GPI-16’s power jack
labeled “Power 7.5VDC”, then plug the power supply in to a power source of
120vac–60Hz. Verify that the green “PWR/HB” led is blinking. The unit information
should be displayed on your monitor if things are setup and/or working properly.
NOTE: To reset the GPI-16 to factory defaults. Pull input 16 low to ground
TWO to THREE times within 5 seconds during repowering the unit. The
PWR/HB will flash rapidly indicating the defaults have been loaded.
