Logic Input and Output Controls

See below for a sample screen.

SIMPLWINDOWS NAME: Aspi Vortex Logic Inputs+Outputs

MANUFACTURER: Polycom

MODEL: Vortex EF2280

CATEGORY: MIXER

VERSION: 1.0

SUMMARY: Allows all of the logic inputs and outputs to be monitored.

GENERAL NOTES: The commands used for the Polycom Vortex may be similar to commands used for other Polycom Installed Voice products. Therefore, the same modules developed for the Vortex may work on other products. To allow for this flexibility of use, you must specify which model is being controlled using the TYPE-ID-HEX parameter field. This must be a 2 digit hex representation of the model type as defined by Polycom. For the Vortex, the model type is F, therefore the parameter value to use is 46 which is the hex representation of the letter F. This can be seen by checking any standard ASCII chart. There should be no suffix used after the 46.

Multiple devices can be connected to the ASPI bus and controlled from a single RS232 port. Therefore, it is also necessary to enter the Unit ID of the device being controlled. This should be entered in the UNIT-ID-ASCII parameter field as a two digit number from 00-07 with no suffix.

This module allows the automatic reporting of logic input/output states to be enabled/disabled. If the automatic status is disabled, you can use the POLL input to manually poll the status. The state of the logic inputs/outputs will be reflected at the INPUT-*-ON and OUTPUT-*-ON outputs.

CRESTRON HARDWARE REQUIRED: CNXCOM, ST-COM

SETUP OF CRESTRON HARDWARE:
Baud Rate - 9600
Parity - None

VENDOR SETUP: Ack mode must be set to "on"

CABLE NUMBER: CNSP-141

INPUT DESCRIPTIONS:
Name Type Description
ENABLE/DISABLE-AUTO-UPDATE D Pulse to enable or disable the automatic reporting of the input or output logic status.
POLL D Pulse to manually poll the logic status. This should not be needed if automatic reporting has been enabled
FROM-ASPI-PROCESSOR$ S Must be routed from the output of the Vortex Feedback Processor module
TYPE-ID-ASCII P Enter 46 for Vortex
UNIT-ID-ASCII P Enter the unit number of the Vortex. Should be a number from 00-07

OUTPUT DESCRIPTIONS:

Name Type Description
INPUT-*-ON D True feedback indicating which logic inputs are on
ASPI-TX$ S Serial signal to be routed to a 2-way RS232 port
