Conguring the snake type
Important:
The snakes must be correctly congured before operating the control
centre, as it will not pass audio or control data if the snakes are not
congured correctly.
You can connect the Audio System Engine to the control centre with either
copper or bre-optic snakes. The control centre needs to be congured with this
information before operation can begin.
>> To congure the control centre with the snake type information
1. At the GUI, choose home Preferences General.
2. Under the Stage Link X heading, click the Fibre or Copper option,
according to whichever is tted to the X network. For example, click the
Fibre option (shown right). A selected option will contain a red circle.
3. Do the same for the Y network, under the Stage Link Y heading.
Setting up the I/O rack devices
You can add, remove and set up the devices, such as line I/Os, mic splitters,
DN9696s etc., that are in the Stage I/O and FOH I/O racks. This is done via the
AES50 Device Conguration window. Here, you can set up the device ID and
also the type of cards (modules) tted to the physical unit. The options are
context-sensitive, so some may be blank, depending on the type of device.
Figure 14: Typical AES50 Device Conguration window
Attempt auto assign
Attempt auto assign can check which I/O racks are plugged in on the AES50 ports
and automatically set the device type and device ID. It is good practice to check
that the correct racks and IDs have been set when using the Auto assign function.
Item Description
1
List of Stage and FOH ports, showing current
device assignments.
2
device type drop-down list, contains a list of the available
devices to choose from (see “About the devices on the stage
and FOH I/O tabs”).
3
device ID drop-down list, contains a full list of IDs for the
selected device type. Those already in use will be prexed with
the text “(In use)”.
4
device options drop-down list(s), from which you can
select the card that is actually tted in the physical unit.
The positions of the drop-down lists are relative to the card
positions in the physical unit.
5
CLOSE button, closes the AES50 Device
Conguration window.
To cater for the dual redundant ports of the DL431 Mic Splitter and DL451 Modular
I/O (X and Y connections) there are two options in the device type drop-down list,
MS Cable Red and Line Io Cable Red, respectively. Initially, the device is allocated
to a port (as for any device), then a second port is allocated to the redundant
connection, but with the same device ID (see below for details).
Device set-up procedure
The device set-up procedure comprises:
• Selecting the port (Stage or FOH) you wish to allocate the device to.
• Selecting the device type.
• Selecting an ID for the device.
• Selecting the options (if any) for the device.
>> To add a device or change its set up
1. Click CONFIG to open the AES50 Device Conguration window.
2. Click the port you want to allocate the device to. For example, “FOH Port 3
(unused)”. The text in the device type: eld will change accordingly. (A port
that has no device allocated to it will have the text “(unused)” after its name.)
3. In the device type: drop-down list, click the type of device. For example,
“DL351A”.
4. In the device ID: drop-down list, click the ID you want for the device. For
example, “ID6”.
5. In the device options: drop-down list, click the type of card tted physical
unit. For example, “Analogue 8 Input”. If there is more than one device
options: drop-down list, repeat for the remaining ones, making sure they
match the actual cards tted.
6. Click CLOSE.
>> To remove a device
Select the port/device from the list in the left of the AES50 Device
Conguration window. Then, select “None-Unknown” in the device type:
drop-down list. For further details, see “To add a device or change its set up”
in chapter 10.
>> To add a DL431 Mic Splitter or DL451 Modular I/O device
1. Set up the device (as detailed above), but select the Mic Splitter (for
DL431) or Line IO (for DL451) option in the device type drop-down list
as necessary.
2. Set up the device’s redundant connection by selecting another port from
the list in the left of the AES50 Device Conguration window. Select the
MS Cable Red or Line Io Cable Red option in the device type drop-down
list as necessary. Then, in the device ID: drop-down list, select the same
device ID as the one you chose in step 1.
3. Click CLOSE.
