Figure 1.3. XAP 400 rear-panel connectors

Rear panel

The XAP 400 rear-panel connectors perform the following functions:

A.Power. The AC power cord input is a IEC type connector allowing 100–240VAC, 50/60Hz.

B.Inputs 1–4.These Phoenix-type connection blocks are for mic and/or line level inputs.

C.Outputs 1–8.These Phoenix-type connection blocks are for line level outputs that may be configured for any combination of gated and non-gated inputs, as well as a mix of mic and line level inputs.

D.Inputs 5–8.These Phoenix-type connection blocks are for line level inputs.

E.Expansion Bus In, Out. This RJ-45 connector is used to connect XAP units. G-Ware is capable of accessing and controlling an expansion bus network of up to eight XAP 400/800/PSR1212 units and 16 XAP TH2 units, where the total number of microphone inputs does not exceed 64. The expansion bus supports a distance of up to 80 feet between each connected XAP 400/800 or PSR1212.

F.RS-232.This female DB9 serial port connects the XAP 400 to a PC, modem, or other custom remote controller. For serial commands, see page 102.

G.Control/Status Ports A and B. These two female DB25 connectors are for general purpose input/output (GPIO) control of custom or unique control devices. The control devices access the command set for the XAP 400 and can be used for common functions such as volume control, muting, preset changes, room combining, etc. Devices can be connected to either port.

For instructions on how to program the control and status pins, see the GPIO section on page 85. The default settings allow control and status of inputs, outputs, volume, and presets. These pins are active low. For pinout and default information, see Appendix B.
