Cable recommendations
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) or Foiled
Twisted Pair (FTP)
Using shielded cable means less problems
with interference from other sources. This
means that your network will be more robust if
you use shielded cables.
Note: Overall recommendation: Use Cat 6a, 23 AWG STP cable.
2.6 Stage Announce and Program Feed
Your Arcadia Central Station is supplied with an RJ45 connector that splits into two XLR
connectors. If you wish to use an external Stage Announce (SA) and Program Feed (PGM), you
must connect this to the RJ45 port #8 on the rear of your device, and connect your input (PGM)
and output (SA) to these connectors.
Once you have done this, these resources will be available in the CCM for routing. Simply
navigate to Configuration in the CCM and click the add button next to the PGM and SA
ports to put them into channels as required. These audio resources can be routed to Channels,
Groups, Roles and Logic events (GPIOs).
Note: These resource are unidirectional, not duplex.
2.7 Set the Arcadia Central Station IP address
By default your Arcadia Central Station works with DHCP IP addressing. However, you can set
a static IP address for any of the station IP ports (with the exception of Dante audio that is
defined by the Audinate Dante Controller).
The Arcadia Central Station IP address can be set:
l
From the Arcadia Central Station front panel menus
l
From the Core Configuration Manager (CCM)
2.7.1 Set the Arcadia Central Station IP address from the front panel menus
Press the MENU button on the front of the Arcadia Central Station to enter the menu system.
Scroll/navigate through the menu items by turning the rotary controllers. Push the rotary
controllers to select an item.
