Configuring the PRO6 with the snake type
Important:
The snakes must be correctly configured before operating the PRO6. The
PRO6 will not pass audio or control data if the snakes are not configured
correctly.
You can connect the DL371 Audio System Engine to the PRO6 Control Centre with either
copper or fibre-optic snakes. The PRO6 needs to be configured with this information
before operation can begin. This is done via the GUI menu.
>> To configure the PRO6 with the snake type information
1
At the GUI, choose home Preferences General.
2
Under the Stage Link X heading, click the Fibre
or Copper option, according to whichever is
fitted to the X network. For example, click the
Fibre option (shown right). A selected option
will contain a red circle.
3
Do the same for the Y network, under the Stage
Link Y heading.
Setting up the I/O rack devices
You can add, remove and set up the devices, such as line I/Os, mic splitters, DN9696s
etc., that are connected to the Stage I/O and FOH I/O racks. This is done via the
AES50 Device Configuration window. Here, you can set up the device ID and also
the type of cards (modules) fitted to the physical unit. Figure 10 “The AES50 Device
Configuration window” shows a typical example of what the AES50 Device
Configuration window looks like with one of the DL351 devices selected. The options
are context-sensitive, so some may be blank, depending on the type of device.
The DL351 Modular I/O has four devices (A, B, C and D) per unit, and each one has its
own port. The four devices represent the following:
• DL351A - cards A, B and C.
• DL351B - cards D, E and F.
• DL351C - cards G and H.
• DL351D - redundant AES50 port.
To cater for the dual redundant ports of the DL431 Mic Splitter and DL451 Modular I/O
(X and Y connections) there are two options in the device type drop-down list,
MS Cable Red and Line Io Cable Red, respectively. Initially, the device is allocated
to a port (as for any device), then a second port is allocated to the redundant
connection, but with the same device ID. For details of how to set up these devices up,
see “To add a DL431 Mic Splitter or DL451 Modular I/O device” on page 73.
