8.1 About the XO I/O Interface USB Modules
FirmwareversionXO4.0andabovesupportstheXOI/OInterfaceUSBmodulesforextrainputsandoutputs.
ThesemodulescontainsetsofMainI/OandExtensionI/Ocards(NextGeneration)thatyoucanconnecttoyour
XOdeviceviaUSB.
XOI/OInterfaceUSBmodule: Rearview,singlemodule:
TheXOI/OInterfaceUSBmodulesfunctionjustlikeinternalMIO/EIONextGenerationcards,butwiththe
followingrestrictions:
l TherearenoAUDIOOUTandAUDIOGNDouputs:ifyouwanttouseaVM22Aaudioswitcher,youhaveto
connectittothebuilt-inMIOcardinstead.ItispossibletouseaVM22Eswitcher.
l TheRS-485PTZsettingis2-wire.Youcannotchangeitto4-wire.
l YoucanaddonlyonesetofMIO/EIOcardstoyourdevice=asingleXOI/OInterfaceUSBmodule.Youthen
havetwoMIOcardsandoneEIOcardintotal.Youcannotusethedoublemodule.
YouhavetomaptheMIOandEIOcardsinthemodulestothecorrectUSBports(ttyUxdevicenodes)usingthe
hardware configuration tool.Ifnot,theXOdevicewillnotdiscoverthecardsandyouwillnotbeabletousethe
inputs/outputs.
Fordetailedinformation,seetheXO I/O Interface USB Module Technical Manual (32688).
Note
Althoughitistechnicallypossibletodisableanexisting,built-inMIO/EIOcardinthehardware
configurationtool,anduseanexternalmoduleinstead,Xtralisrecommendstokeepandusethebuilt-
incards.Ifyoudisableabuilt-inMIOcard,youhavetoswitchoffthebuzzerandwatchdogfeatures,
orthesystemwillbeepcontinuously.Switchingoffthebuzzerandwatchdogseriouslyreducesthe
system'sreliabilityandsecurity.
8.2 Logging on to the Hardware Configuration Tool
YouneedtologontothehardwareconfigurationtoolusingtheTechnicianuser.Forthis,youneedto:
1. EnabletheTechnicianuserusingtheXOclientsoftware.
2. Generateaspecial,temporaryaccesscode(PINoftheday)fortheTechnicianuser.ThePINlimitsthetime
thattheTechnicianuserhasaccesstotheconfigurationtool.
