Si Console Connect 'Channel Select' Settings
The Si console needs to know what number of channels to extract from the card and how many channels to
send to the card. The console speaks to the card to extract this information which then allows the console to
configure itself for correct operation. These DIP switch settings control this 'Chanel Select' settings for the
card. These switches can also been seen on the SI Dante Card & Multi-Digital Card.
Thankfully, with the BLU-Link card, there is only one correct setting!

When making any physical I/O changes to your console (for example adding an option
card), always Reset IO
RESET CONFIG
: Clears the console
database of any option cards or external
I/O systems that may have been attached
to the console. Reset config also forces
a ‘re-discovery’ of any installed option
cards or connected I/O system such as
a Soundcraft Stagebox; see I/O Discovery
for further details. The system will provide
a warning that the action will overwrite the
current configuration database and allow the action to be aborted
