Locate mode:
The Halogen software application contains a feature allowing you to verify the
physical location of a specific RAD or HAL device. When you place a RAD in Locate mode,
the Power, Comm, Audio Tx, and Audio Rx LEDs on the front of the corresponding RAD flash
green. The flashing continues until you cancel the request in the software, place another RAD
in Locate mode, interrupt the connection between the computer and the HAL, disconnect the
RAD, or power cycle the HAL.
Mismatch mode:
When a RAD is connected to a RAD port on
the back of a HAL, a comparison is made between the physical RAD model and the RAD
model specified for this port in the HAL configuration. If there is a mismatch the Power, Comm,
Audio Tx, and Audio Rx LEDs on the front of the corresponding RAD flash red.
Following is an illustration of the back and side of a typical RAD:
WARNING
!
As it is poor design to plug two microphones into a single microphone input, we do
not recommend this practice. If, however, you have a situation that warrants it, proceed with cau-
tion. We recognize that paralleling microphone jacks can lower the cost of your audio system.
NOTE
:
RADs are hot-swappable. In other words, you can replace a RAD without having to power
down the system. The HAL automatically detects the new RAD and configures it using the con-
figuration data stored in the HAL. If the configured RAD and the physical RAD do not match, the
HAL front panel Enabled LEDs for this RAD flash yellow. At the same time, the RAD's Power,
Comm, Audio Rx, and Audio Tx LEDs flash red.
