To install more than one EXP device:
1. Install the first EXP as described on the previous page, connecting it directly to the HAL.
2. Attach the remaining EXP devices to the audio rack.
3. Daisy chain the EXP devices together. In other words, connect the second EXP device to the
EXP that is connected to the HAL. To do so, plug one end of the FireWire cable into the open
Expansion Bus slot on the first EXP. Plug the other end of the cable into one of the Expansion
Bus slots on the second EXP. Then, using another FireWire cable, repeat this process, con-
necting the third EXP to the second EXP, and so on:
Task 3: Configuring HAL
Although listed as the third task in the installation process, this task can occur later in the process if
necessary. To help with troubleshooting, however, we recommend loading the configuration file prior
to installing the RADs and DRs.
NOTE
:
If you do not have a configuration file, but you want to test that the equipment is working
properly, you can create a very simple configuration for verification purposes. It’s best to do this
after installing the RADs and DRs. See "Creating a Verification Configuration" on page 38.
To load a configuration file into a HAL:
1. Verify that the HAL is powered on and working properly.
2. If you haven’t done so already, download and install the Halogen software. See "Installing and
Starting the Halogen Software" on page 42.
