The XP4000 Series unit supports speakers and a microphone at every user
console in the system. If you have purchased user interface and computer
interface cables with multimedia capabilities, then you will have access to these
features. The speakers and/or microphone that you have connected to your
console will work exactly as if they are connected directly to your computer.

Example: User Console 1 is currently using computer B. The speakers and
microphone at Console 1 are active. When all keyboard and mouse
activity at Console 1 stops, Console 2 may take control of computer
B by simply moving the mouse or typing on the keyboard. Once
Console 2 takes control, the headphones at that station are active.
NOTE: Some speakers and microphones have different sized jacks than will
connect to the cables. If you encounter this situation, you will need to purchase
an adaptor to make the connection. These adaptors are commonly available;
contact your electronics supply store for more information.
The XP4000 Series units support any RS-232 serial peripheral that uses inband
(XON/XOFF) or hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control: hardware up to 9600 Baud,
inband to 115200 Baud. Examples include most modems, serial printers and
touch screens.
If you have user and computer interface cables with multimedia capabilities,
you will have access to these features. Simply connect your serial device to the
matching connector on your user interface cable, as if you were connecting it
directly to your computer. When your console has keyboard and mouse control
for a computer channel, you will also have serial device throughput.
