Start CasaTunes Setup and click on the “Advanced” tab so that you see this window:  
 

 

 
In the window, select “Page on trigger in” on the first line. Set the second line to have the 
page start when the trigger signal goes to 12 volts (default, “Low to High”) or when it 
goes to 0 volts (“High to Low”). If you are not sure, leave it at the default and try it. If the 
music plays normally and switches to the external paging device when the paging device 
sends its switching signal, then the setting is right. Select the “Page Source” on the third 
line. We usually recommend that you plug the external audio into the L4 input on the 
interface card and select :External Source 4” in this window. 
 
Next, go to the Zones tab:
