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.
