Auto Configure Function of M7CL-48ES and SB168-ES System
When using M7CL-48ES and SB168-ES in certain configurations (*), the Auto Configure
function may be used to automatically setup audio patches and head amp control. Auto
Configure may be used with systems having one M7CL-48ES and from 1 to 3 SB168-ES
units. (For details, refer to the M7CL-48ES user’s manual.)
(*): When using M7CL-48ES and SB168-ES on the same system, SB168-ES firmware
version must be as follows:
SB168-ES firmware V1.1 or later
EtherSound module firmware C16 or later
For information on checking the version number and updating the firmware, refer to the
“SB168-ES Firmware Update Guide”.
If other EtherSound devices exist on the system, configuration must be done manually
using the AVS-Monitor. In this case, disable the Auto Configure function before changing
the configuration.
The manual configuration procedure for word clock, audio patches, and
head amp control is identical to that of other EtherSound devices.
While the Auto Configure function is enabled, each setup area on the AVS-Monitor will be
grayed out and parameters can only be monitored. Changes can be made temporarily by
disabling the Auto Configure function and unchecking the checkbox of the Lock Routing
(**). However after setting the patches by using “Auto Configure”, it is strongly
recommended that all the patches are not changed.
After changing the setting vi a t he AVS-Monitor, save the settings to the device’s Non
Volatile memory to be able to reproduce them the next time you turn on the devices.
This method is recommended
when you wish to make your own configuration based on the
Auto Configure function.
(**): In this case, the DIP switch settings of the SB168-ES and Auto Configure settings of
the M7CL-48ES will temporarily be ignored, and settings of t he AVS-Monitor will take
priority.
Be careful of the following cases where the Auto Configure function will be
activated again and overwrite the current settings.
･ When the Auto Configure function is enabled again via the AVS-Monitor.
･ When the Auto Configure function is enabled on the STAGE BOX SETUP screen of the
M7CL-48ES.
･ When the power of the SB168-ES is turned on with its DIP switches set for Auto Configure.
It is necessary to configure the setting of each SB168-ES one by one via its Control Page if you use
multiple SB168-ES units.
