Nexmosphere XC-931 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-931
The XC-931 is an Xperience controller with 1 optical audio input,
4 optical audio output switches and 8 X-talk interfaces:
1. X-talk interface 001
2. X-talk interface 002
3. X-talk interface 003
4. X-talk interface 004
111. Optical audio switch 1
112. Optical audio switch 2
113. Optical audio switch 3
114. Optical audio switch 4
IN. Optical input
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 8 X-talk interfaces.
2. Connect an audio source to the optical input using an optical cable with mini-toslink connector.
3. Connect one or more speaker to any of the optical output switches using an optical cable with mini-toslink connector.
4. Connect the 12 or 24VDC power supply to the DC power input connector.
5. Connect the micro-USB cable to a 3rd party device (e.g. Digital Signage Player or PC).
6. Wait until the white status LED stops blinking. This lasts about 5 seconds.
Software setup for testing (Terminal)
Typically, the XC-931 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 Termite,
2. Open the Terminal program and go to settings. Choose the COM port on which the XC-931 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-931 controller, place a 50mS delay between each command.
*In case the XC-931 controller is not recognized as a COM port by the 3rd party device, a driver (Prolific PL2303) can be downloaded
