Auto/Manual Mode Selection
The Control Master can be used to set the current network mode to Auto or
Manual. As with the system‑wide sample rate, the network mode is also a
global setting. Only one Pro64 device can be Control Master in a network.
Changes to the network mode must be made from the Control Master.
The 6416Y2 is configured using DIP switches, with DIP Switch Block 9 (SW9)
on the circuit board used to set the network mode. This means that changes
to the Pro64 network mode require the host Yamaha device to be powered
down so that the 6416Y2 card can be safely removed.
Changing the Network Mode
To change the network mode from a 6416Y2 card that is the Pro64 network’s
Control Master, first power down the Yamaha host device and then remove
the 6416Y2 card. Move switch 1 in Switch Block SW9 to the desired position,
down for Auto Mode, or up for Manual Mode. Reinstall the card and power
up the console. The Control Master will update the display on all modules in
the network to reflect the mode change once the network is restarted.
Managed Mode
Managed Mode requires the use of a computer with the Pro64 network for
tasks such as firmware updates, system monitoring, control, and editing.
The Control Master is the only module that can allow the network to enter
Managed Mode.
Entering Managed Mode from a 6416Y2 card requires that the 6416Y2 card
be the network’s Control Master. DIP Switch Block 9 (SW9) is used to set the
network for Managed Mode operation. This means that changes to the Pro64
network mode require the host Yamaha device to be powered down so that
the 6416Y2 card can be removed.
To change the network mode from a 6416Y2 card that is the network Control
Master, move switch 10 in SW9 to the
up
position Once the network enters
Managed Mode, all rack‑mount I/O modules will light their Managed LEDs.
Note that the 6416Y2 does not have a Managed Mode LED.
To manage a Pro64 network with a computer, the PC needs to be connected
to the Control Master using a DB9 null modem cable connected to the RS‑232
port. The 6416Y2 card must be set for RS‑232 operation and not for RS‑422;
this is done from DIP Switch Block 4 (SW4) on the circuit board. See page 32
for more information.
Exiting Managed Mode also requires that the host Yamaha device be
powered down so that the 6416Y2 card can be removed to have DIP switch
settings changed.
