Menu items can still be

scrolled through when the

panel is locked. However,

settings cannot be entered until the

panel is unlocked with the

appropriate passcode.

✍

To unlock the front panel, attempt to adjust a parameter. The XAP 800 will

prompt for the passcode. Upon entering the fifth character (if entered correctly),

the front panel will unlock. The default passcode for all boxes is ▲▲▼▼Enter.

Set Passcode

Once the XAP 800 is unlocked, the passcode may be changed. Before the XAP 800

will allow passcode changes, the new passcode must be entered, then re-entered to

validate the new passcode.

The front panel passcode can also be set (and reset) within G-Ware. See page

26 for more information.

Device ID

The XAP 800’s device ID is set from this menu. There are eight device ID selections

to choose from (0–7). Select the network position you want to use. Within a single

site, you must assign different device ID numbers for each XAP 800 unit. See Device

IDs, page 12.

Unit ID

The Unit ID menu selection allows you to access the read-only address set at the

factory. This unique ID number identifies your particular XAP 800 unit and cannot

be changed.

Mixer Mode

This setting allows you to set to master or slave mode. See page 12 for details.

Firmware Version

This menu selection allows you to view which firmware version is being used. This

information cannot be changed.

RS-232 menu

There are four submenus under the RS-232 menu: Baud Rate, Flow Control, Enable

Modem, and Clear Password.

Baud Rate

This parameter allows you to set the XAP 800’s baud rate to 9.6kbps, 19.2kbps,

38.4kbps, or 57.6kbps. Default is 38.4kbps. Select the baud rate you want to use,

then press Enter.
