Audio Diode Configuration Tool | USER MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
This manual shows how to use the Audio Diode Configuration
Tool to configure t he control buttons behavior on different
Audio Diode models.
Note:
This manual is not applicable for Audio Diode models
without buttons (FA10A-4 and FA10B-4).
In the configurable Audio Diode family, each button press
opens or closes the connection to one or both connected
peripherals (speaker or microphone). The configuration tool
allows the user to control the time for which that connection
remains open. For example, the speaker button is preset to
open the audio for 6 minutes. However, using the
configuration tool, it is possible to allow a shorter or longer
period.
As seen below, other settings are also configurable through the
configuration tool. For a complete list of possible
configurations, see the Configuring the Audio Diode section.
The Audio Diode configuration is done via the Audio Diode’s
dedicated port (Micro USB) used for configuration only.
No configuration is possible from the host PC!

Note:
Before connecting the Audio Diode to the dedicated
configuration PC, make sure it is already connected to the host
PC, via the USB. This provides power.
To connect the Audio Diode to the dedicated configuration PC:
1. Using the Micro USB to USB Type A cable, connect the
Micro USB jack to the conf port on the Audio Diode.
2. Connect the USB Type A jack to an available USB port on
the dedicated configuration PC.
3. Check the Device Manager list to see which COM port
was added and note this, as it is used in the next
procedure (Installing and Running the Audio Diode
Configuration Tool).
Note:
Before connecting the Audio Diode to the dedicated
configuration PC, make sure it is already connected to the host PC, via
the USB. This provides power.
