Network Controls
1. Quit
Closes the session and quits the application.
2. System
Identifies the host system that is controlling SoundGrid Studio.
3. Auto-Configure / Start
Automatically configures a system based on current inventory. There are three options:
Reconfigure: Discards all previous assignments, patches, and settings and re-scans the network and takes a
snapshot of all found devices. It then updates assignments and patches accordingly.
Add Device: Preserves the current assignments and patching; adds newly found devices (if present) consecutively to
inventory and current patching.
Cancel: Aborts this operation.
4. Network Port
Shows all detected network adaptor ports on the host computer. Choose the port that connects to the SoundGrid devices
or network switch. We recommend that this port is used exclusively for SoundGrid devices. Visit Waves support to learn
how identify the correct network port.
5. Re-scan Network Ports
Scans all network ports for new network adaptors. If you connect a network adapter (e.g., Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet) while
SoundGrid Studio is open, the adaptor may not appear in the Network Port drop-down menu. This will also locate local
ASIO/Core Audio devices (using SG Connect) that have been added while the app is running.
Re-Scan temporarily disconnects SoundGrid and checks for new network adaptors—these will now appear in the list of
network ports. This will result in a brief audio drop.
6. Network Link
Reports the status of the Ethernet connection to the computer running SoundGrid Studio software.
