6.3. Setting up a computer to control the unit.
Connect to the same network a computer with “AEQ ControlPHOENIX” software installed with
version 2.2.1.1 or higher. Follow what’s indicated in chapter 3 of the application’s user manual.
Check that your PHOENIX STRATOS is automatically discovered after launching the
application, according to chapter 4.1 of the software user’s manual. Accept the unit and, if you
don’t find it, please check that the network parameters of both the unit and the computer belong
to the same network having in mind the default IP address of the unit (192.168.1.87,
GWAY=DNS=192.168.1.100). Keep in mind that, in order to find it with version 2.2.1.1 (or
higher), the unit’s CPU version must be 5.50 or higher.
The codec is ready to be controlled when the individual codec control window appears, showing
“OK” label in CH1 and CH2 status areas and, below, the equipment’s given name (“Luis 01” in
the example below).
IMPORTANT NOTE: If more new codecs will be controlled in the same network, you need to
change their IP address one by one as you add them in order to avoid conflicts in the network,
as they will also have the same default 192.178.1.87 IP address. Go to “Configuration“
“Ethernet“ to access the dialog that allows you to change the IP parameters of the unit.
6.4. Audio.
Section 2.2 of this manual describes in detail the physical connections at the back panel of the
unit, but the procedure would be, in a nutshell, as follows:
•
Connect the line inputs in analog or digital format that you need, according to the
description of the connectors installed in the PHOENIX STRATOS rear panel. XLR
connectors for the analog inputs and DB15 connector for the digital inputs.
•
From General Configuration screen, select, for each channel the input signal type to be
used between “Analog” or “Digital”, and whether it is “Stereo”, you want only “Mono
L“,“Mono R“, or “Mono L+R“ mix.
•
From General Configuration screen, select the working mode for the stereo analog
output: “Stereo” “Mono L”, “Mono R” o “Mono L+R”.
•
Connect the line outputs in analog or digital format that you need, according to the
description of the connectors installed in the PHOENIX STRATOS rear panel. XLR
connectors for the analog outputs and DB15 connector for the digital outputs.
•
There is no need to define the output type because the PHOENIX STRATOS offers, by
default, all the outputs duplicated in analog and digital format.
6.5. Establishing an ISDN communication.
•
Ensure that the equipment is powered up and controlled by the software.
•
Establish the appropriate audio configuration (analog/digital input mode, gains, routing
of inputs to the codec, suitable encoding, analog output mode).
