Model 214A Configuration
The STcontroller software application is used to configure
the way in which the Model 214A functions. No DIP switch
settings or other local actions are used to configure the unit.
This makes it imperative that STcontroller be available for
convenient use on a personal computer that’s connected
to the related LAN.
Changes made using STcontroller will be immediately
reflected in the unit’s operation; no Model 214A reboot is
required. Each time a Model 214A configuration change is
made the unit’s main and talkback LEDs on the front panel
will flash in a distinctive pattern. This provides a clear indi
-
cation that a command from STcontroller has been received
and acted upon.
Installing STcontroller
STcontroller is available free of charge on the Studio
Technologies’ website (studio-tech.com). Versions are
available that are compatible with personal computers
running selected versions of the Windows and macOS
operating systems. If required, download and install
STcontroller onto the designated personal computer. The
network connection of this personal computer must be
on the same local area network (LAN) and subnet as the
Model 214A unit that is going to be configured. Immediately
after starting STcontroller the application will locate all the
Studio Technologies’ devices that it can control. The one
or more Model 214A units to be configured will appear in
the device list. Use the Identify command to allow easy
recognition of a specific Model 214A unit. Double-clicking
on a device name will cause the associated configuration
menu to appear. Review the current configuration and make
any changes that are desired.
