Command strings
By creating command strings, you can use your XAP 800 to control equipment such
as lighting, projectors, and room dividers as well as other ClearOne products. A
command string is passed to the connected device via the XAP 800’s RS-232 port.
You can create up to eight customized serial command strings (limit 80 characters
each) in the Command Strings window. To open the Command Strings window, click
the Command Strings toolbar button.
To create a command string
Type the serial command string (limit 80 characters) in one of the eight
locations. The command string will support special characters. See list at
