SoundGrid Studio/ User Guide

1. Identify the host computer LAN port. If more than one valid LAN port is present, you will be prompted to
choose the correct one. If you can’t identify the correct network port, please refer to this support article.
2. Scan the network for devices. On-screen prompts guide you through device selection, and the Wizard then
assigns devices to your inventory.
3. Patch input and output I/Os.
4. Update device firmware. If a device (I/O or server) firmware is out of date, Auto-Configure will automatically
update it to match your current version of SoundGrid Studio software. When an I/O firmware update is
finished, you will be prompted to turn the device off and on. Servers power cycle automatically.
Once Auto-configure is complete, you should have a fully working SoundGrid system.
You can always manually change or customize this auto configuration to suit your needs. This is explained later in
the Device Racks section of this user guide.
RECONFIGURING WITH THE SOUNDGRID STUDIO WIZARD
When you change, add, or delete devices, you can use the Auto-Configure wizard to update the inventory. If you
have connected a device, a prompt will ask if you want to assign this device to your inventory. If so, the device will
be added to the inventory and patched automatically without changing previous configurations.
If you don’t see a prompt, can you manually start this process by pressing Start Auto Config and
click Add Device. This is explained later in the user guide.
If you want to start fresh and discard previous configurations
select “Reconfigure.”
