 +The XP5 export function is only available in Toolbox 7 and 8. 
 +
 +Starting with mAirList 6.2.3, the XP5 file is only used for the //DHD Console// window. Automatic configuration of fader channels and logics is done using the Extended Audio and Logic ID export from Toolbox (see next paragraph). From that version, mAirList configuration is compatible with Toolbox 9.
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +==== Toolbox Import (mAirList 6.2.3 and up) ====
 +
 +mAirList can import Audio ID, Logic ID and Fader Channel information from Toolbox 7.x, 8.x or 9.x. This will allow a more convenient setup of the player etc. configuration, as you don't have to type the fader channel numbers and logic IDs manually anymore, but you can just select them from the list.
 +
 +In order to use this function, you just first export the IDs as an "Ext. DHD AudioID/LogicID Export (*.dpx)" file from DHD Toolbox (//Project -> Export -> Export AudioIDs/LogicIDs//). **Make sure that you select the correct file type with the "Ext." in it**, as the ordinary export will be missing the fader channel numbers:
 +
 +{{ :config:remotecontrol:pasted:20191004-125218.png?400 }}
 +
 +The resulting ''*.dpx'' file can then be imported into the mAirList configuration. If you have more than one device in your Toolbox project, or more than one virtual mixer in your core, you will be prompted to select the device/mixer from the list.
 +
 +The IDs are copied into the mAirList configuration. It is not necessary to keep the ''*.dpx'' file after import.

You should also check //Disable channel on/off switching// (see above) as motorized channels do not use the on/off function.

 +===== DHD Console ======
 +
 +The DHD Console provides manual remote control of your DHD mixer from the mAirList playout application. It is located in the menu next to the //mAirList// button in the main toolbar. The DHD remote must be active **and an XP5 file must be linked** in order to use the DHD Console.
 +
 +==== Console ====
 +
 +On the first tabs, you see a representation of the fader strips of your console, each with a PFL button, channel label, volume slider, and ON/OFF button. 
 +
 +{{ :config:remotecontrol:pasted:20171124-131622.png?400 }}
 +
 +Right-click the channel label to select another input channel for that fader.
 +
 +The controls are fully bi-directional, so you can control the physical console from this window, and changes made on the phyiscal console are also reflected in the window.
 +
 +==== Logic ====
 +
 +The //Logic// tab provides 20 buttons that can be used to control logic states in your DHD console.
 +
 +{{ :config:remotecontrol:pasted:20171124-132430.png?400 }}
 +
 +Right-click a button to adjust its properties:
 +
 +{{ :config:remotecontrol:pasted:20171124-132528.png }}
 +
 +Set the label, the logic ID (as found in the Toolbox project) and the mode (toggle, tally or inverse tally). The buttons can also indicate logic states by changing their color. To use this function, enter a  logic ID to be used as the lamp source, and select a color.
 +
 +==== Monitor ====
 +
 +The third tab shows a list of messages sent to and received from the DHD core, for debugging purposes, similar to the //Monitor// tab of the remote control configuration when opened through mAirList Control Panel.
