CONFIGURING THE GPIO FUNCTIONS
About GPIO
The GPIO Console allows you to configure and view the
state of the GPIO connectors found in the Codec C90
and Codec C60.
To access this setup, click GPIO on the menu bar.
The GPIO socket is designed for 6-pin Phoenix plugs
with +12 V, GND and 4 ports for On/Off control.
Initially, a GPIO port is high (2–12 V
dc) until a certain
condition occurs, on which it will go low (0–1 V
dc).
Observe that maximum output current from the +12 V
is 500 mA @ 12 V
dc, while a port is capable of sinking
500 mA @ 48 V
dc. This means that in most cases the
use of an external power supply to run external devices
will be preferable, compared to driving an external unit
from the codec’s +12V
dc power.
The following options exist:
Direction can be Output or Input
Output Direction:
• Manual State can be used to force the output State
to go high or low. Since the codec will operate on its
own, without the TC Console program controlling it,
Manual State will not apply unless you use API to set
up conditions.
• InCall. The port will go low when the system is in a
call.
• MicrophonesMuted. The port will go low when the
microphones are muted.
• PresentationOn. The port will go low when
presentation (second video stream) is active.
• AllCallsEncrypted. The port will go low when the all
calls are encrypted.
• StandbyActive. The port will go low when the system
is active (not in standby).
Input Direction
• MuteMicrophones. When the port goes low, the
microphones will be muted.
