Main Menu
Once the correct user name and password have been submitted an expanded set of menu tabs will be shown.
These choices provide the ability to access additional menu webpages. They allow configuration of audio perfor
-
mance as well as network and access parameters. In addition, information about other important Model 5422A
operating parameters can also be reviewed.
As previously discussed, the Model 5422A is offered in two versions. The Model 5422A-01 provides one set of
32 audio channels. This is considered a 32-channel audio engine. The Model 5422A-02 provides two sets of
32 audio channels. This is considered to be two 32-channel audio engines that support a total of 64 channels.
The menu systems for the two versions are quite similar. The only difference is that the Model 5422A-01 has
a menu tab called Audio Engine while the Model 5422A-02 has one tab called Audio Engine 1 and another tab
called Audio Engine 2.
Audio Engine Configuration
The Model 5422A-01 has one audio engine consisting
of 32 channels. The Model 5422A-02 has two audio
engines, each consisting of 32 channels for a total of
64 channels. Two webpages are provided for config
-
uring these audio engines. They are named Group
Configuration and Channel Configuration.
Group Configuration
The channels in each audio engine can be electronical-
ly divided into what are referred to as groups. Selecting
how the 32 audio engine channels are arranged into
groups is crucial when working to achieve the desired
Model 5422A configuration. Each group will have a text
label that can assist personnel in knowing the purpose
of each group. The operating mode of each group can
be individually selected. This allows the specific action
of each group to be determined.
Channels per Group
The 32 channels associated with an audio engine can
be configured into one of ten configurations which
determine the number of groups and how many chan-
nels are contained in each group.
