The Rules panel in the Java Toolbox Web-GUI is used to program events for specific codec actions. Typically these 'rules' are based on a change in the state of a GPIO control port or the codec being connected or disconnected. Rules can only be created with the Web-GUI while the codec is disconnected.

 

 

1.Press the HOME button to return to the Home screen

2.Use the navigation buttons on the front panel to select Connect and press the button

3.Select IP and press the button

4.Select your preferred IP Mode and press the button.

5.Use the down navigation button to select Setup and press the button.

6.Navigate to Data and press to toggle between Enabled and Disabled.

This rule is used to connect and disconnect a selected program when a control port input is toggled.

 

1.Click the first rule in the Rules panel.

2.Click the drop-down Input arrow and select the control port input which will trigger program connection and disconnection.

3.Click the drop-down Program arrow to select the program to be connected.

 

4.Check the Rule Summary and click Create Rule to save the settings.

 

Rule 2: Switch Different Control Port Inputs On to Connect and Disconnect a Program
