Config: Communication Tab
The Config: Communication tab provides the ability to configure the communication settings on Christie
ACT. Configure the direction of each GPIO by toggling each GPIO button between input (I) and output (O).
These changes instantly change the pin configuration of the device. You can also enable or disable the internal
input pull-up on the opto-isolated inputs by checking the appropriate boxes next to the inputs.
Click inside a box to
enter a checkmark and
enable the desired input
pull up. NOTE: Pull ups
add power to the
selected input
connector. Deselect to
disable.
