Command strings

By creating command strings, you can use your XAP 400 to control equipment such as lighting, projectors, and room dividers as well as other ClearOne products. A command string is passed to the connected device via the XAP 400’s RS-232 port. You can create up to eight customized serial command strings (limit 80 characters each) in the Command Strings window. To open the Command Strings window, click the Command Strings toolbar button.
