Receive Figure 2. XAP TH1 front-panel controls Front View The XAP TH1 front-panel controls (see Figure 2, above) perform the following functions: 1. Transmit LED This bicolor LED indicates the audio levels being transmitted from the room to the telephone line.
Through the RS-232 (and serial commands), the XAP TH1’s touch-tone (DTMF) dialing capability can be accessed. This allows outbound calls to be initiated by the XAP TH1 without requiring an external dialer or telephone set. This feature continues to function after connection, enabling the user to issue tones for voice mail/pager interaction.
100–240VAC, 50/60Hz, 15W. Telephone Line Requirements The XAP TH1 model operates on a standard analog telephone line and connects to the telephone system with a standard RJ-11C modular jack. If you do not have an RJ-11C jack where you want to install your XAP TH1, call your telephone company for installation.

Appendix A Serial Commands The XAP TH1 accepts serial commands via the RS-232 serial port. The RS-232 serial port default protocol is 9,600, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. The commands in this section pertain only to the XAP TH1.
MUTE Control/report mute status* Return current version of software NULL Renulls XAP TH1 to telephone line * applied to a specific channel Conventions The following typographic conventions are used to set off parameters and explain their function in command strings.
Explanation: <CH> is which parameter to be measured. CH= RXIN Parameter for level from the telephone line CH=RXOUT Parameter for level from the XAP TH1 CH=TXIN Parameter for level into the XAP TH1 CH=TXOUT Parameter for level to the telephone line Return Values: LVL will return the output level of the line channel in the same format as the command.
Return Values: If the renull succeeded, the following is returned out the serial port: NULL RING When the XAP TH1 receives a valid ring from the telephone line, the XAP TH1 will respond. RING TECHNICAL SUPPORT: 1.800.283.5936 (USA) OR 1.801.974.3760...
