12 UPDATE SYSTEM SOFTWARE & AOIP DEVICES FIRMWARE
In order to interface the Type R System with Type R AoIP devices, the system software needs to be updated.
The Type R Core software should be running
version 1.2
and the AoIP Devices firmware running
v.3.2.1-j429_7
for the two AoIP
devices in the core and
v.3.2.1-j501_7
for each AoIP I/O box in the AoIP network. If your system has already been updated please
skip this section, if not go to the
Software Updater section in the Type R Installation Manual (926-228)
before proceeding.
13. CONFIGURE AOIP PORT & CONNECT SERVER IP ADDRESSES
There are three optional Audio interface boxes types available for the Type R which are show in outline below:-
The AD6501 is a 4 AES In with SRC & 4 AES Out, 8 Mic/Line In with 48v & 8 Line out Combo I/O box with 2 x 6.35mm (1/4”)
headphone sockets for monitoring usage and 6 GPI and 6 GPO interfaces.
The AD6502 is a 16 Mic/Line In with 48v and 16 Line out Analogue I/O box with 6 GPI and 6 GPO interfaces.
The JD6503 is an 8 AES In with SRC and 8 AES Out AES I/O Box with 6 GPI and 6 GPO interfaces.
In addition to the 2 x IEC power connectors on the rear of each unit, there is an AoIP interface via RJ45 connectors (with redundant
Primary and Secondary connections) which is connected to a US6525 AoIP device, which allows the I/O to be connected to the core
via an IP switch network.
