Assigning Gpio To A Source - Axia iQ Installation & User Manual

Assigning GPIO to a Source

As you've seen by studying the previous pages, a lot
of the work of assigning logic to a source is done for you;
once a GPIO port is linked with a Source Profile, all that
remains to do is to solder cables connecting the GPIO's
DB-15 connectors to the device's control interface.
So, how do you link a GPIO port with a Source Pro-
file? It's very easy; let's do it step-by-step.
Note: This procedure assumes that you have
already defined at least one Source Profile using
the instructions outlined in Chapter 2.
1. Open your Web browser and enter the IP ad-
dress of your console. Choose
from menu. Enter your password if prompted (default
login is "user", leave the password field blank).
2. If you haven't previously assigned any GPIO
ports, the GPIO definitions screen will be blank. No-
tice the status indicators at the top of the page, show-
ing the state of the input and output pins of each port.
The "Logic for" option defines how the port will be
used.
The port will only be controlled through

»

the port will follow the logic of that input.

LIVEWIRE
to specify the Channel Number in the Livewire
Channel column. You can do this by manually en-
tering the number, or browsing the network for an
advertised Livewire channel. When you click on
any list icon, a small popup window will open, enu-
merating all of the audio sources available on the
Livewire network (Figure 5-2). Choose the source
you wish to associate with a GPIO port by clicking
on it; the window will close and the source's name
and channel number will appear in the Channel box.
If you're using a local source, specify the input. If a
source profile has been created to control a phone
hybrid using Analog 5 as the input, select Analog 5
in the drop down list. The functions of the GPIO port
will now follow those shown in the Hybrid Logic
Chart.
4. Type a descriptive name in the Name field, and
click on the button.
