9.15 Controllers
Up to 8 GPIO modules and 16 A-Control remote controllers per device type are configurable, each with its
own assignments and functions.
Refer to the AC Remote Controller Getting Started Guides for information on the device hardware and
connection.
Adding Remote Controllers to the Engine / Controllers / Device Manager configures an independent set of
controls that can be used with or without 4REA4 Controller Software connection, for applications such as
personal monitoring, room control etc.
Add a device to the Control / Controllers / Device Manager instead to assign Sel and Mix keys to the A-
Control device and use the remote controller as an extension of the 4REA4 Controller software
Select the device tab using the tabs on top and select one of the 16 locations in the list. The list
shows the unit name of assigned devices.
The link icon will display green when the physical device is connected to the network and synchronised.
It will display red when the device is not present or synchronising after being added.
The key and fader / rotary assignments for each device are stored in snapshots. They are not stored on
the physical device. These settings belong to the device location in the list, for example you can assign
functions and parameters to a location prior to adding a device, or you can remove a device without affecting
the functions and parameters of its location.
Add Device – Click to assign a physical AC controller to the selected location in the list.
Remove Device – Click to unassign an AC controller from the selected location.
Unit Name – click to edit the name of the selected device.
Network – click to edit the IP address, subnet, and DHCP setting for the selected device. The default
settings are:
AC6 - IP 192.168.1.72 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.1.254 DHCP off
AC8 - IP 192.168.1.73 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.1.254 DHCP off
To avoid network conflicts, make sure all connected IP controllers are assigned a unique name and IP
address.
