You will need to connect a computer only when you want to change the settings or when you want to use the supervise feature.
Renkus-Heinz engineering has programmed the on board DSP to optimize the loudspeaker’s performance and to ensure its safe opera-
tion. Replace the RHAON hardware module only with another unit that has been factory programmed for the same loudspeaker. Contact
our Technical Support Department for details and assistance.
Access Control Note
RHAON systems feature several levels of password-protected access control to prevent inadvertent or unauthorized changes of the control
settings. Even when you connect a computer running RHAON software, you may be denied access to some or all of the Connect and

RHAON ORGANIZATION: Three Fundamental Audio Operations
Before we go on, let’s take a look at the structure of RHAON. Audio operations comprise three fundamental areas that are necessary for
the success of any sound system:

SUPERVISE
RHAON allows both real time supervision while the system is in use, and remote supervision with fault logging and operator alerts via
e-mail, text messaging, etc. In steerable arrays, every single driver is supervised and its status displayed; any failures detected trigger an
alarm.
At any time you can switch into any one of the three RHAON operating modes using the Connect | Control | Supervise tool bar directly
above the work space. You can also switch between the three modes and the Beams / Presets folder using tabs inside the Loudspeaker
Properties window.
