Configuration

When you configure an Inspire button station with the EchoAccess Mobile App, a representative image of the selected station will display including labels for the currently configured button and fader assignments.

Tap on a button or fader control to configure its actions. The selected control's Configuration page displays. Configuration settings depend on the selected object type, either button or fader control.

Note:   Changes made in the EchoAccess Mobile App impact the behavior of the Inspire station when the station Function Selection Switch is set to Custom mode. A station set to either Preset or Zone mode will remain unaffected by configuration and control settings from the EchoAccess Mobile App.
