2016 Axia Audio- Rev 1.8.1 - Axia element v.2.0 Installation & User Manual

Let's say you've connected a hybrid to your Ana-
log Node, named it "Studio 1 Phone", and assigned it a
channel number of 12205. You've constructed a Source
Profile for it, and you now want to give it a mix-minus
backfeed and set up a GPIO contact closure for the "take"
and "drop" functions. Here's how:
1. Make sure that, in your hybrid's Source Profile, the
option is set to "Phone" and the
Source Type
is set to "Auto". Also set the
to Source Mode
feed Enabled/Disabled
2. Use your Web browser to connect with the Audio
Node or PowerStation I/O you'll be sending your
backfeed to. Choose
Destinations
menu to enter the Destinations screen (Figure 3-7);
we'll set up our mix-minus for output #5.
3. Just to the right of each
see a "list" icon. Click on the list icon for output #5.
A list of available sources will pop up (Figure 3-8).
Notice that the names and channel numbers of the
sources are both displayed for easy identification.
We'll choose

window closes and you're returned to the
screen. The line for output #5 now displays the

channel number and name of the source.

Automagic: If the hybrid source is loaded to an
Engine and the engine is generating a mix minus
source already, the list box will show TWO iden-
tical channels for the source — but one will have
a description of "TO:" in front of it. Selecting
this source automatically selects TO SOURCE in
the TYPE box.

6. Now point your browser back to your Element Con-
trol Center page (or IO Subsection if you are using
a PowerStation) and choose
from the menu sidebar. (You may also use a GPIO
Node other than the Power Supply/GPIO or Power-
Station that shipped with your Element, just point
your browser to that node's IP address instead.)
7. The GPIO setup screen uses the same method of as-
signing devices to ports as the Analog Node. Pick
a port to map your hybrid's contact closures to, us-
ing the list tool, and click
the four port GPIO section of a PowerStation MAIN.
The Element and GPIO node are similar but have
eight ports.

The process is complete: you've made a Source Pro-
file for your phone hybrid, created a mix-minus, mapped
it to an audio output (destination), and associated a GPIO
port for contact closures associated with the source.
