Creating Rules - Tieline Merlin PLUS User Manual

Creating Rules

23.31
Codec 'rules' configure events based on specific codec actions. Typically rules are based on a
change in the state of a physical GPIO control port, or a WheatNet-IP logic IO, or a codec program
being connected or disconnected. Rules can only be created with the Web-GUI while the codec is
disconnected. There are two ways to create rules in the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI:
1. The Rules panel, or
2. The Program Manager panel.
Rules for connecting or disconnecting a program are configured in the Rules panel. Rules for
connecting or disconnecting an audio stream are configured in the Program Manager panel.
Important Note:
·
A non-WheatNet-IP Tieline codec can be configured to trigger a logic IO in a Tieline
WheatNet-IP codec. Up to 64 logic IOs are available in Genie Distribution and Merlin
PLUS WheatNet-IP codecs, as well as 4 physical GPIOs.
·
Tieline WheatNet-IP codecs require Wheatstone Razor firmware version 1.4.22 or later to
support WheatNet LIOs. In addition, the WheatNet-IP codec must have the WNet
Enable LIO checkbox selected in the Options panel of the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI.
·
Select Enable Auxiliary Data when creating a program in the Programs panel to
enable RS232 data and activate rules employing relay reflection over a connection. This
will allow the codec to connect to external devices and send RS232-compatible data via
the serial port on the rear panel. Alternatively, enable auxiliary data using the Setup
menu (see
Client programs.
