For Un-Balanced Hi-Z systems
A) Typically Hi-z audio has input impedance of 10K-Ohms or higher. There is no need for passive
termination in the form of a resistor or active termination in the form of a –6 dB network setting.
Connect the positive and ground wires only to the input and output of the SOLOIST-2S.
DATE & TIME
The SOLOIST-2S keeps accurate time once it has been set. A lithium battery maintains accurate time and
date information during power failures. The battery can provide for many years of accurate time backup. The
SOLOIST-2S has the ability to adjust for Daylight Savings if the option is set to YES.
Date- MM/DD/YYYY
WD HH:MM:SS DS
This is the Date and Time format where, MM= Month, DD= Date, YY= Year, WD= Weekday,
HH= Hours MM= Minutes, SS= Seconds (24 hour clock), DS= Daylight Savings= Y, N.
The Soloist 2S can synchronize to Network Time protocol (NTP) servers. For more information, refer to the
networking section of the API manual.
SERIAL PORT
The SOLOIST-2S has one serial port setting that must be properly configured in order to communicate with
a communications port or modem. If a modem is used press the up key to edit the modem initialization
string.
The PC (personal computer) serial port communicates with a computer or modem and is used
for data communications including scheduling and verification logs. It consists of a pair of RJ-
11 / RS-232 plugs located on the rear panel of the SOLOIST-2S labeled THRU/COMM IN. The
right port (facing the rear) is the “IN” plug and has an arrow pointing up. The left port (facing the
rear) is the “THRU” plug and has an arrow pointing down. The “IN” plug connects to a computer
or modem.
The “THRU” plug is provided so that multiple (unlimited) SOLOIST-2S’s can daisy chain off a
single host computer or modem. When multiple SOLOIST-2S units are daisy chained together,
the “THRU” connection of the upstream unit connects to the “IN” connection of the downstream
unit. No termination is required on the last SOLOIST-2S in the chain.
