Operation of linked XAP 800 units can be done with one RS-232 serial connection. Functions which can
be controlled via this connection include audio level control, muting, audio signal routing, telephone
dialing, remote diagnostics, and many other functions.
While any external device with an RS-232 serial connection can communicate with the XAP 800, the
system was designed primarily to be programmed and set up using a personal computer, and operated
using a custom remote controller. All commands are listed in the XAP 800 Installation and Operation
Manual.
The XAP 800 provides real-time control and status via the RS-232 port of all system functions, including:
Input and output audio levels in dBu
Input and output gain in dB
Channel input and output muting control and status
Mic/line input select and phantom power on/off control and status
Microphone gate activation status
Control and status of AGC and equalization
Routing
Automixing functions and modes
Control/Status connector configurations
Preset/macro configurations
Password protection
Expansion Bus setup
System setup
The RS-232 serial port was generally intended to be used as follows:
1. Set up and programming - During installation, a PC is connected to the XAP 800, and the unit is
programmed for the application gain structure, routing, equalization, etc.
2. Calibration - Using the connected PC, precise input and output levels can be directly read from the
PC. Additionally, the XAP 800 will tell you precisely how much gain is programmed into the system.
Example: You place a -6dBu input tone into a mic/line channel in the line mode. The input reading will be
-6dBu. If you apply 10dB of gain, the input will read +4dBu at 10 as a gain reading.
3. Operation - A custom remote controller is then used to operate the functions of the XAP 800.
