Communication Functions of the Expansion Bus
The Expansion Bus is a high-speed network protocol that provides two primary system
functions: 1) communication among units, and 2) audio linking. All functions of the XAP
800 are available across a system of linked XAP 800 units, which allows automixing of
up to eight XAP 800 units, 64 microphones, and 32 line inputs.
The XAP 800 takes advantage of its DSP infrastructure in accomplishing this task.
Networked XAP 800 units communicate to one another via the Expansion Bus (see
Figure 36). Control, status, and addressing functions are performed via the network
bus. To accomplish this, configure the first XAP 800 as the MASTER unit. All additional
units are then programmed as SLAVES. The master unit then provides communication
supervision for all other units on the network.
Serial connection to the master XAP 800 permits programming, operation and
diagnostics to all XAP 800 units networked together. This permits a single connection
for the installer and user, decreasing costs and complexity.
