ARENA DM CONTROL SURFACE
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
42
3.2.6.1. IP addresses change.
The first parameter on the list is “
Mixer Address
“, which allows you to change the
control surface IP address. The second parameter is “
Frame address
“, which allows
you to change the frame IP address.
An IP address is set up for the control surface (“Mixer ID“) as well as for the frame that
actually contains the mixer (“Frame ID“), with the aim of establishing the communication
through an Ethernet, among the different elements of the BC 2000 D system and also
with the software configuration. This means among other things that it can be set up a
remote connection with the system through Internet, if it is necessary, with the aim of
configuring the system.
In its most simple configuration, the mixer controller (Frame), the surface control (Mixer)
and the PC utilized to set up the system configuration, can be linked through an
Ethernet switch with RJ-45 connectors and establishing the corresponding IP address in
every element of the system (e.g.: 172.031.000.xxx).
In the most advanced configuration, it can be set up a system with several mixers and
control surfaces, and controlling through Internet by means of a PC from any point in
the net, providing that the communication among the different devices will be properly
set up. To do this, it will be necessary to establish a subnet mask (“Mask“) and the
“Gateway“ to access the system.
The procedure to change the IP address is the same for both the control surface and
mixer controller. By rotating the encoder located on the right of the screen (21), the
highlighted values are changed. Pressing the encoder accepts the changes and skips to
the following parameter, which will be highlighted. Keep repeating the previous step
until all required values have been reached. In the case of the mixer, the upper encoder
will make it possible to change the IP address, the middle one the subnet mask, and the
lower one the gateway.
To exit either screen without changing the IP address, press “CANCEL“. Press “OK“ to
accept the changes and exit the screen. Pressing either “OK“ or “CANCEL“ will lead you
to the main “System Setup“ screen.
