Table of Contents
The XAP™ IR Remote Control system is designed to allow easy operation of XAP
products from your desk or conference table, rather than from the front panel or
G-Ware™ software of your ClearOne audio conferencing products or an expensive
external controller.
It consists of two components: the handheld infrared transmitter (remote control) and the base station infrared receiver. The remote control is used to operate or
customize certain features of the XAP system, such as connect, disconnect, dial a
telephone number, redial, activate speed dial, hook flash, adjust volume, and mute
the microphones.
The XAP IR Remote functions with various XAP stand-alone or combined systems. The remote’s default programming can be easily customized to fit your needs
by using G-Ware, the XAP system’s configuration software. In the event of a power
outage, the new programming will be stored in the receiver’s memory and will not
be lost or altered. The remote also provides positive feedback for the Mute LED and
In Use LED by actively monitoring the response of the controlled unit(s) and indicating the correct status of each function.

Installation
XAP IR Remote Receiver
Installation is simple. Plug the XAP IR Remote Receiver into the RS-485 Remote
Panel A or Remote Panel B connector located on the back of the ClearOne unit.
Alternatively, you can connect the receiver to a network of ClearOne Control
Panels which are connected to one of the RS-485 ports on the rear of the ClearOne
unit. In this case, connect the IR receiver as the last device in the daisy chain.
Up to five control panels and one IR receiver can be connected to an RS-485 port.
Refer to the table below for maximum cable runs. The distances indicated are
for category five twisted-pair cable.

Configuration
Technical Services Group ~ 1-800-283-5936 (USA) ~ 1-801-974-3760
DIP switch configuration
Located on the rear of the receiver are five DIP switches. These switches are default
programmed at the factory to allow the receiver to operate without adjustment
when it is connected to one of the RS-485 Remote Panel ports on the rear of the
ClearOne conferencing unit.
If you are connecting the IR Remote receiver to a network of ClearOne Control
Panels (which are connected to one of the Remote Panel ports), ensure that DIP
switch 5 is set to on; this serves as the termination of the daisy chain, since the IR
Remote is always connected as the last device in the chain. Set DIP switches 1–4
according to the table in Figure 5.
As an example, if you have three Control
Panels connected to Remote Panel A and you want
to connect an IR Remote receiver to the daisy
chain, the receiver would be number 3 (the Control
Panels being numbers 0, 1, and 2). Therefore, the
DIP switch settings for the IR receiver would be
1=Off, 2=Off, 3=On, 4=On, and 5=On.
Always connect the IR Remote receiver to the last Control Panel when connecting to
a daisy chain of Control Panels. Only the last device in a daisy chain should have the
last DIP switch set to On (to terminate the chain).

Front Panel LEDs
There are three LEDs on the front of the XAP IR Remote—Mute, In Use, and
Ready.
• Mute. The Mute LED flashes red when microphones are muted (default). You
can program this LED to illuminate to another command in the Remote
Builder window of G-Ware. See Configuration (below) for more information.
• In Use. The In Use LED glows red whenever a phone participant is on the
line. The programming of this LED cannot be changed.
• Ready. The Ready LED glows red when the receiver is connected to a XAP or
PSR1212 product, indicating the system is ready for a valid command. The
programming of this LED cannot be changed.
When a button is pressed, the Ready LED flashes, indicating a command has been
received.

Programming Functions
The XAP IR Remote Control is programmed by default to operate a single XAP 400
with an amplifier and speaker connected to Output 8; however, it is easy to customize should you require different specifications. If you want to use the factory
defaults, proceed to Operation on page 12. Below are instructions for setting up the
remote control in ClearOne G-Ware software, the user interface for XAP products.
XAP IR Remote system defaults
The XAP IR Remote is programmed by default to operate the XAP 400/TH2
Telephone Interface as follows: The On, Off, 0-9, *, #, Flash, Redial, Speed Dial,
and Conference Call keys activate any XAP 400/TH2 on the expansion bus network
regardless of its type and device ID. This is because of the default ** programming,
which allows the selection of any device on the network.
Buttons programmable in G-Ware are illustrated in Figure 12 (page 12).
