IF THE SHARING HOST BECOMES UNAVAILABLE
If the manager of a shared device fails (e.g., Ethernet connection is broken, computer stops working, computer is
taken away), the shared device will continue to function. As long as the device is powered up and is connected to
the manager’s SoundGrid network, it will pass audio. The device, however, is still owned by the missing host, so a
client cannot access the device’s control panel.
To gain full control of the shared device, select “Manage Device” from the device’s menu. This, in
essence, moves the device’s administrative privileges from the missing manager host to the client’s
computer.
The device will now appear in the client’s inventory as a local SOE device. It can then be designated
as a clock master or slave of the SOE network.
If the absent manager system is sharing devices with yet other systems, this
operation may interfere with some connections.
S
HARE PREAMP CONTROL
A device manager can enable all clients in a super system to adjust the preamp gain for a
shared device. When Share Preamp Control is selected, any client host can adjust the
preamp gain of any I/O channel of the device. All users sharing this device have equal control
of preamp gain in any patched I/O channel.
