the ping command
The PING command is used to “ping”, or send out a signal to, every BOZ-2200 amplification module
that is connected to your system.
The purpose of this function is to identify for you which BOZ-2200 module corresponds to which
AMP number in the BOZ-216 control unit. A module’s AMP number is determined by which I/O
Block it is connected to on the back panel of the BOZ-216 control unit. There are a total of 8 I/O
blocks that correspond to a total of 8 possible modules, for a maximum of 16-channels of amplifi-
cation.
The bottom row of the BOZ-216 front panel display indicates to you which I/O Blocks have pow-
ered-on BOZ-2200 modules connected to them.
In the above example, I/O Blocks 1 and 5 are in use. The BOZ-2200 modules connected to them will
have AMP numbers 1 and 5 designated to them, respectively.
what happens when you “ping”
When you click on PING, either through the First Screen or through the AMPS menu, a signal is sent
out to each BOZ-2200 module.
The BOZ-216 front panel will show a text box that indicates that the PING command is under way.
Each BOZ-2200 module will show in its front panel display its designated AMP number. Recall that
this number is determined by the I/O block that it is hooked up to.
This command offers an extremely efficient way of determining which modules are powering
which channels. It is very useful in large or complex systems.
If a system determined by the above example were “pinged”, one BOZ-2200 module would show
“1” in its front panel display and the other BOZ-2200 module would read “5” in its front panel dis-
play.
accessing the ping command
The PING command can be accessed via the First Screen and the AMPS menu. In both cases, you
can CLICK on it with either the rotary control knob or you can press the ENTER button on the
remote control.
