GENII-RA700 Remote Amplifier
Description, Installation, and User Manual
Federal Signal

4.5 Remote Networking Configuration
For specific configuration information, see the PAGASYS GEN II SYSTEM MANAGER
Software (Model P-SYSMGR-G) manual document number 25500459 or the PAGASYS
GEN II Network Solution manual document number 25500595.
4.5.1 GENII Mode
The wiring for a GENII-RA700 for use in a GEN II system is simple: it is only necessary to
connect the Ethernet and the speakers.
4.5.1.1 Dante Network Audio Connections
It is necessary to use the Dante® Controller software to interconnect the various PAGASYS
components that use Dante® network audio.
NOTE: Do not confuse the Dante® Controller software with the PAGASYS GEN II full
controller or GENII-RC (remote controller). Dante® Controller is software for a Windows®
PC that allows you to interconnect Dante® network audio hardware. It is created and
supplied by Audinate®, the creators of the Dante® network audio standard. A PAGASYS
GEN II full controller and GENII-RC are hardware devices used to control and monitor a
PAGASYS GEN II PA/GA system. They are created and supplied by Federal Signal and use
Dante® network audio.
4.5.1.1.1 Standalone System
In a standalone system, there is only a single controller with scope A-master.
The network audio connections must be mapped in Dante® Controller as follows:

4.5.1.1.2 High-Integrity System
In a high-integrity system, there are two controllers, one with scope A-master and the
other with scope B-standby. They share control of the amplifiers and I/O boards (that is,
each amplifier or I/O board is scoped shared).
Because the controllers share the amplifiers, a given GENII-RA700 will be connected to
both the A-master controller and the B-standby controller in the PAGASYS configuration,
and the Dante® network audio connections will be established accordingly in Dante®
Controller.
