Cascading RML Mixer Setup
There are a few different ways to use cascaded RML-series mixers.
This section shows how to make the connections between your RML
mixers, control devices and network switches and routers.
For all configurations you’ll need to connect the mixers via Ethernet
using a compatible AVB switch.
Refer to our Knowledge Base
for the most current list of compatible AVB switches
.
Note: If using a MOTU AVB Switch be sure to update
to the latest firmware available from MOTU
3.3.1
RML Mixers with UC Surface
When cascading RML mixers with control from UC Surface there
are three main ways you can connect the control device.
• Wired to the AVB Switch via Ethernet
• Wired to the Wireless Router via Ethernet
• Wireless connected to the Router
NOTE:
If you connect directly to the AVB switch and are NOT using a wireless
router, you’ll need to configure your mixers to use a Static IP Address. If you
need to use a manually assigned static IP address please consult your IT
administrator to ensure you are using a compatible IP address and Subnet
Mask. Refer to
section 2.1 IP Addresses
for more information.
