Always Connect to Remote
– #2 in Figure 26a shows the system
Auto
Connect
options. Remote connections must be created in the
Connec-
tions Tab
before they can be assigned to any of these functions. One field
is available to designate a remote for always on operation. This is useful
in “nailed up” environments, where a signal is required across the link 24
hours a day. To assign an always on remote, simply pull down the menu
and select which remote to designate as
Always On
. A connection will be
made and sustained to the chosen remote.
The Auto connect on contact closure fields (#3 in Figure 26b) define auto
connect rules for remotes to be triggered by the four external triggers
available on the rear panel of the ACCESS.
Note: These inputs are shared
with the end-to-end contact closure signals, so if a remote is designated
as
Auto Connect
on a closure, that closure signal is sacrificed in the di-
rection from this ACCESS.
To assign a remote connection to a contact closure, simply pull down the
menu box next to the desired closure and select the proper remote. A con-
nection attempt will be made whenever the contact is triggered, and will
disconnect whenever the contact is released.
CC Connect Status
– This setting (#4 in Figure 26b) alters the perfor-
mance of output contact closure #4. Under normal circumstances the
signal indicates a trigger of the corresponding contact closure input on the
far end of the connection. If this box is selected, that function is no longer
available, and the signal follows the ACCESS front panel
Ready
light. This
signal will be valid (closed) when a valid connection is present, and invalid
(open) when no connection is present.
This allows you to set the parameters of the auxiliary serial data port
provided on the ACCESS. This port is always active during an IP
connection and allows serial data transfer along the same path used for the
audio data. It does not remove any audio data; the serial data is added to
the packets and bandwidth is increased to support the additional data. For
this reason heavy use of serial data can affect overall codec performance.
Settings are available for Baud Rate, Data Bits, Stop Bits, Flow Control and
Parity. Most users will leave the defaults of 9600, 8, 1, No Flow Control and
No Parity.
Connection Password
– Allows you to define a password that must be
attached to all incoming connections before they are accepted. Units
placing outgoing connections to you must know this password and apply it
to their outgoing stream. Leaving the field blank will disable this function.
