Ancillary Data
Along with the coded audio, the Z/IP ONE is able to send associated data. One example of how this is used is for sending
connection quality statistics to the remote Z/IP ONE. This data channel is also available to send user data to the remote
codec.
12.1 GPIO
The first use of the ancillary data channel is for sending General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) signals. These are
individual signals, or bits, that can be used to control or read status from a local Z/IP ONE or send information to a remote
Zephyr/IP.
The Z/IP ONE has a DB25 connector on the back panel that provides contact closures (close-to-ground) inputs and
outputs. In addition, the Z/IP ONE supports Livewire GPIO. While only one of these may be used for inputs at any given
time, the outputs are always available on both interfaces.
