Configuring Unit Properties

Using the Unit Properties window, you can configure the unit‘s communication and security properties in addition to general unit properties such as name, type, and country code. The Unit Properties window automatically opens when you manually add a unit to the site. You can also right-click the unit icon in the site pane and click Unit Properties.

To configure Unit Properties

1.Type a descriptive Unit Name in the space provided. The Unit Identification and Firmware Version will be supplied by the unit when a connection is made.

2.If you have already established a connection with the site, the Device

ID will be assigned. Otherwise, select the Device ID that matches the ID you assigned the unit via the front-panel LCD menu.

Device IDs ensure the software will sync up with the proper unit when there are multiple XAP 800s on a network.

3.Select the Unit Type (default is slave). See page 12 for more information.

4.Select an input, output, or processing channel to be the Default Meter on the front panel meter LED when a channel is not specifically selected.

5.Select the Meter Refresh Rate, which determines how quickly the XAP 800 updates meter information (default is 100ms; range is 50–1000ms).

6.Click the Comm tab. The Baud Rate and Flow Control settings are supplied by the unit when a connection is made. These settings are changed using the Site Properties window (see page 23).

7.Set the Serial Echo (default On) and the Serial Mode (default Text).

Serial Echo echos back commands sent over the XAP 800 network. The serial mode determines the format in which the commands return—text or binary. The mode defaults to Binary when G-Ware is connected and to Text when disconnected. Contact technical support for instructions on using Binary mode.

XAP 800 specifications

The ClearOne Comm XAP 800 is a sophisticated audio conferencing system designed to provide seamless communication in various environments, including conference rooms, boardrooms, and large meeting spaces. Known for its versatility and cutting-edge technology, the XAP 800 is a favorite solution for organizations seeking to enhance their audio conferencing capabilities.

One of the standout features of the XAP 800 is its ability to support up to 16 microphones. This is crucial for larger meetings, ensuring that every participant can be heard clearly, regardless of their location in the room. The device uses advanced audio technologies, including Automatic Gain Control (AGC), which automatically adjusts microphone sensitivity to maintain consistent audio levels. This ensures that the conversation remains intelligible even as participants lean in or shift their positions.

The XAP 800 also incorporates ClearOne’s proprietary Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) technology. This feature eliminates echo disruptions that can occur in audio conferencing, allowing for clear and productive conversations. AEC works by differentiating between direct sound from microphones and echoed sound returning from speakers, ensuring that participants hear each other without feedback interference.

Another significant advantage of the XAP 800 is its integration capabilities. The system is designed to work seamlessly with a variety of third-party audio and video conferencing products, allowing businesses to expand their communication infrastructure without the need for extensive reconfiguration. The XAP 800 also supports USB connectivity, enabling easy integration with PCs and laptops for web conferencing solutions.

The device is equipped with multiple audio input and output ports, providing flexibility in configuration. Users can connect various hardware such as external speakers, additional microphones, and even video conferencing equipment. This adaptability makes the XAP 800 suitable for different setups, whether it’s a simple room with a few microphones or a complex installation with multiple audio and video sources.

User-friendly controls and an intuitive interface make operation straightforward, allowing even those less tech-savvy to manage audio settings with ease. The system is designed to be installed quickly, reducing downtime and ensuring that organizations can get back to effective communication without delay.

In summary, the ClearOne Comm XAP 800 is a powerful audio conferencing solution that combines advanced technologies with flexibility and ease of use. Its features such as support for multiple microphones, Acoustic Echo Cancellation, and seamless integration with other systems make it an ideal choice for businesses looking to enhance their communication efforts.
