Next to the two GPIO ports are two RJ45 ports for connections to the Axia network. Default operation of the
ports is mirroring redundancy, but the ports can be configured as one Livewire port and a second management port,
for connection to another network.
Finally, to the far right of the rear panel is a standard IEC connection for AC power. The power supply has a
“universal” AC input, accepting a range from 90 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. A fuse is located inside on the power supply
circuit board.
IMPORTANT! As with any piece of modern electronic gear, it is advisable that precautions be taken to pre-
vent damage caused by power surges. Standard line surge protectors can be used to offer some degree of
protection. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure protection adequate for their conditions is provided. This
equipment is designed to be operated from a power source which includes a third “grounding” connection in
addition to the power leads. Do not defeat this safety feature. In addition to creating a potentially hazardous
situation, defeating this safety ground will prevent the internal line noise filter from functioning.
Web Interface
xSelector options, like other Axia products, can be accessed via its internal Web server. This server provides
status information, as well as basic and advanced configuration options.
xSelector is designed so that the user can do basic configuration or change a route to the xSelector from the front
panel. From the web interface one can also change a route, and additionally, configure GPIO ports, check meters,
and change advanced settings.
There are times when xSelector’s front panel is the quickest way to do what you want, other times when a Web
browser is necessary. The Web server also enables remote access for those times when you’re not physically close to
the unit.
xSelector’s web server also breaks the old bugaboo about PC vs Mac. With a web browser, any Mac on the
network can get you into your web-enabled Axia gear.
What’s Next?
So, there’s your nickel tour of xSelector. If you followed the Quickstart at the front of the manual, you learned
how to set up your unit and get it running fast; in Chapter 2, we’ll take a more in-depth look at its operation.
