Enabling Relays & RS232 Data
Data must be enabled to activate contact

closure operation and RS232 data. The
codec supports both in-band and out-of-band data depending on the connection transport and
algorithm you are using. In-band RPTP data is automatically included within an audio stream when
using Tieline Music and Music PLUS algorithms over any transport – IP, ISDN or POTS. Over IP it
is also possible to enable synchronized out-of-band data in separate packets using any algorithm.

·
In-band RPTP data is enabled
automatically
·
Synchronized out-of-band data
can be enabled and disabled as
required
·
Using out-of-band data with rules
between G5 codecs employing
relay reflection minimizes latency
·
These algorithms must be used
when connected to G3 codecs as
they don't support out-of-band
data
·
In-band RPTP data is enabled
automatically and used for all
rules including relay reflection
All

algorithms
·
No in-band data available;
synchronized out-of-band data
can be enabled and disabled
·
No in-band or out-of-band data
available
Select
Enable Auxiliary Data
when creating a program in the
Program Manager panel
or
Connections panel
to enable out-of-band RS232 data and activate rules employing relay reflection
over a connection. This will allow the codec to connect to external devices and send RS232-
compatible data via the serial port on the rear panel. Alternatively, enable auxiliary data using the
Setup
menu as follows:
1. Press the
HOME
button to return to the
Home
screen.
2. Use the navigation buttons on the front panel to select
Connect
and press the
button.
3. Select
IP
and press the
button.
4. Select
Tieline
(or
Sessionless
and then
Peer-to-Peer
) and press the
button.
5. Use the down
navigation button to select
Setup
and press the
button.
6. Navigate to
Data
and press
to toggle between
Enabled
and
Disabled
(Note: default
setting is
Disabled
)

Configuring Control Port Contact Closure Operation
The
Rules panel
in the Web-GUI can be used to configure switch inputs and relay outputs. Codec
'rules' configure events based on specific codec actions. Typically rules are based on a change in
the state of a physical GPIO control port, or a Tieline or WheatNet-IP logic IO, or a codec program
being connected or disconnected. Rules can only be created with the Web-GUI while the codec is
disconnected. There are three ways to create rules in the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI:
1.
Rules panel
: Configure codec level rules related to programs and/or hardware and software
I/O states.
2.
Program Manager panel
: Configure program level rules early in the
Program Manager
panel
wizard.
