Tally Output Programming
[Skip this section if you do not wish to use the tally outputs.]
See step 6 on page 2-4 for wiring instructions.
You can program the two tally outputs to indicate a number of different operation-
al and fault conditions.
1. Navigate to the S

screen.
2. Program one or both of the tally outputs.
To program a given tally output, use
L
OCATE
to highlight the output. As you turn
the control knob, the functions listed below will appear in the highlighted field.

Input: Analog: Indicates that the 8700i is processing audio from its analog in-
put.

Input: Digital: Indicates that the 8700i is processing audio from its AES3 digital
input.

Analog Input Silent: Indicates that the level at either or both analog input
channels is below the threshold set in step 19 on page 2-40.

AES Input Silent: Indicates that the level at either or both digital input chan-
nels is below the threshold set in step 19 on page 2-40.

AES Input Error: Indicates that the 8700i’s AES input receiver chip has detected
an error in the received data that makes it unusable. When the chip detects
such an error, it automatically switches the 8700i’s input to
A
NALOG
.

No Function: Tally output is disabled.
Networking and Remote Control
[Skip this section if you do not wish to connect to your 8700i remotely, either for
downloading software upgrades or for PC Remote Control. For terminal and auto-
mated control using simple ASCII commands, see
Networking and Remote Control
starting on page 2-63.]
The 8700i has a built-in 100 Mbps Ethernet port that can be used with 10 Mbps, 100
Mbps, and 1 Gbps networks using the TCP/IP protocol. You can also connect a PC to
the 8700i through the 8700i’s RS-232 serial port, either by modem or directly
through a null modem cable.
1. Prepare the 8700i for a network connection.
