Nexmosphere XC-720 Quick Start Manual

Xperience platform
All of Nexmosphere's controllers are built on the same platform principles. If this is your first time using a Nexmosphere
controller, we recommend to first read
our platform and its terminology.
XC-720
The XC-720 is an Xperience controller with 2 X-Wave interfaces and
4 X-talk interfaces:
1. X-talk interface 001
2. X-talk interface 002
3. X-talk interface 003
4. X-talk interface 004
USB. API interface (micro-USB connector)
LED. White status LED
DC. 12-24VDC Power input (2.1mm DC socket)
Hardware setup
1. Connect one or more Elements to any of the 4 X-talk interfaces.
2. Connect one or more Pixel LED strips to any of the 2 X-Wave interfaces*.
3. Connect the 12 or 24VDC power supply to the DC power input connector.
4. Connect the micro-USB cable to a 3rd party device (e.g. Digital Signage Player or PC).
5. Wait until the white status LED stops blinking. This lasts about 5 seconds.
*Pixel LED strips including connection cable are available as an accessory (product codes L-P......W). If you want to connect your own Pixel LED strips, separate
connection cables are also available as an accessory (product codes CAW-S..C).
Software setup for testing (Terminal)
Typically, the XC-720 controller is connected to a 3rd party device, such as a Digital Signage Player, on which CMS software is installed that has built-in
functionality for sending and receiving Serial Events. However, if you want to do a first test on a PC or Mac, follow the instructions below:
1. Download a terminal program. For example
2. Open the Terminal program and go to settings. Choose the COM port on which the XC-720 controller enumerated*.
In most cases this is the highest available number in the COM port drop-down setting.
3. Set the COM port settings to the following values
Baudrate
Parity
Data
Stop
4. Set the COM port to "Open". The controller is now ready for use.
5. When sending consecutive API serial commands to the XC-720 controller, place a 50mS delay between each command.
*In case the XC-720 controller is not recognized as a COM port by the 3rd party device, a driver (Prolific PL2303) can be downloaded
