Operating the CX22B-R as gateway

11.1 Description

The gateway mode allows to route QuantumX/SomatXR
modules that are connected via firewire to other network
adapters of the CX22B-R (e.g. ethernet or WLAN). In this
mode, the CX22B-R act like a CX27.

Important

When the CX22B-R is in gateway mode, it cannot be
used as a recorder. This means that catman

 should run

while the CX22B-R is configured in gateway mode.

11.2 Activate/deactivate gateway mode

To activate/deactivate the gateway mode, go in the Shell
settings of the CX22B-R into the "General" tab. Check
the option "Activate gateway functionality" to activate the
option and uncheck it to deactivate it.
