Using Serial and Ethernet
Follow the instructions for the controller of your choice using the serial settings below, and/or Ethernet settings accessible
via the SF-16M front panel menu. Commands ( see page 28 and website ), are used for IP or serial control. Control4 SDDP
is available for seamless Ethernet integration.
The internal SF-16M telnet server allows two clients to be connected at one time. Each client connection has a time out
of 15 minutes; if a client crashes and does not close the connection properly (sending an EOF command) that connection
remains busy until it times out. Serial commands are located on our website: www.audioauthority.com/sonaflex_tip2.
Using the RS-232 Port
System controllers and PCs send all setup and control commands as well as receive feedback via the RS-232 serial port.
Important: If a PC is connected directly to the SF-16M RS-232 port, use a standard serial serial cable (male to female) for
RS-232 input, and to loop out to the next SF-16M, if multiple SF-16Ms are included in the system.
Using a PC via Ethernet
Connect a computer directly to the SF-16M Ethernet port using a crossover cable, or alternatively use a standard Ethernet
hub or switch and a standard patch cable. To use static settings, see the detailed instructions on page 14 .
There are two LED indicators next to the Ethernet port on the rear panel that will help identify connection issues:
• Link - The Link LED is steadily lit if a connection is detected and flashes when activity is present.
• Speed - The Speed LED is off for 10 base T, and on for 100 base T.
Using DHCP
DHCP is enabled on the SF-16M by default. If DHCP is enabled on your network, simply connecting the SF-16M to the
network with an existing DHCP server enables it to obtain all necessary information. You can enter a static IP and turn
DHCP off after initial setup is finished.
CONTROL INTERFACES
Operate the SF-16M using a professional automation control system. Its open-control architecture allows any third party
automation controller to use serial or Ethernet commands to control volume, EQ, switching, overrides, sound scenes, or
any other function programmed into the controller. IR controllers are adequate for many basic installations.
Control Interface
Capabilities
All commands are available
on RS-232, but other control
methods are limited as
shown. The SF-16M PC
Setup Utility (not shown) is
the best setup method for
advanced tasks, but is not
intended as a user interface.
