Accessing DB6
22 DB6 Single / Multi / AES – Firmware version 1.30
Accessing DB6
– Connect your computer and DB6 as de-
scribed in the “Setting up DB6” chapter.
– Power up your computer and your DB6.
– On your computer, launch the TC Icon soft-
ware.
– When you do this for the first time or the sys-
tem configuration has been changed, the fol-
lowing screen will appear:
– Click “Assign”.
– All currently connected TC signal processors
that are supported by the TC Icon software
should be detected and assigned to one of the
8 on-screen slots/locations.
– If a connected device is not detected, please
refer to “Networking basics and troubleshoot-
ing” on page 16.
– Click the icon representing the DB6 to access
it.
Operating multiple computers
and / or DB6 units in one network
In a more complex setup where several net-
worked computers are running TC Icon software,
each of these computers can be used to connect
to a DB6.
If your setup contains multiple DB6 units, you
should name these unambiguously so you don’t
accidentally edit the settings of the wrong de-
vice.
Scanning / rescanning a
network for devices
The scenario described above covers the first
time you boot up your system or when no con-
nected units are assigned.
When you make changes to your setup, when
devices are powered up or down, or if there are
connection errors, these may not be detected
immediately. In this case, you should scan the
network again.
To scan a network for devices:
– In the TC Icon software, go to Setup / Devices
– Click the Detect button.
For further information, see “Devices page” on
page 42.
In the following sections of this manual, we as-
sume that you are operating a basic system with
only one DB6 connected.
