If you don't have the unit in sight; to know the IP ad-

dress use the "Solidyne Discovery and Update" soft-

ware, available at the following link:

http://www.solidynepro.us/download/

setupDiscovery2.rar

3. Using a computer of the LAN, enter the IP ad-

dress   in   a   web   browser   (Chrome   is   recom-

mended).

4. Browser will load the  web  interface of 542APC,

that are web pages generated by the 542APC.

3.4.1 Remote access via Internet

To access a 542 processor connected to an external net-

work via the Internet, it is recommended to use remote

desktop software. On the LAN to which the processor is

connected,   a   computer   must   have   TeamViewer,

pcAnywere, or similar. Accessing that computer remotely,

run a web browser (Google Chrome recommended) and

access the 542APC web interface.
This method allows the user to remotely command the

processor, and even install firmware updates without risk,

because communication  between  the  remote  computer

and the 542APC takes place within the local network. The

Internet only intercedes in the control of the remote com-

puter.

3.4.2 Status/home screen

The home screen is a monitoring panel that shows the

status and the action of all stages.  

It is subdivided into

sections

 that can be expanded or collapsed by pressing

the 

± 

icon. In this way, the user organizes the monitoring

screen at their convenience.

Figure 15 - Expand/collapse sections

The   screenshots   of   the   control   interface   are   shown

with  

inverted   colors

,  to   facilitate   the   printing   of   this

manual.

 

Monitoring area

The upper zone is fixed and remains visible in all screen

modes,   both   in   the   MONITORING   screen   and   in   the

SETUP screen.

It contents the following indicators:

Signal level

  on the active input (RMS and peak in

dBFS)

Processing  meters:

  status of the Enhancers (on/

off); AGC (dB); reduction gain meters for compres-

sors and limiters (dB); clippers action (active/inac-

tive); wide-band limiter (dB) and MPX clipper (dB).

Level on the audio outputs: 

A double-meter shows

peak and RMS value. The Loudness Meter shows

the audio level according the EBU-R128 norms.

The upper row shows:

The 

IP

 address. 

The   signal   source   and   the   level   for   the   HEAD-

PHONES (the web control remember the level as-

signed to each source).

The USER;  to enter to the screen SETUP when the

password is enabled.

A button to switch to SETUP screen.

The status view does not allow to edit settings or change

the processing. To be able to edit the configuration, enter

to the mode SETUP (with the button located in the upper

right corner of the window).

Preset and Sound Wizard

This section shows the current preset and simplified Wiz-

ard controls; that allow the user to quickly customize the

character of the sound.

The user can change the current preset; edit the user pre-

sets with the Wizard controls and access the creation of

new   presets.   The  

–CLICK   HERE   TO   EDIT–

  option   ac-

cesses SETUP mode to save changes or create presets.

FM receiver – Monitor Analyzer

Shows the most relevant parameters of FM transmission

analysis.   The   receiver   configuration   and   advanced   re-

ports  are obtained in the SETUP  mode, in the FM Re-

ceiver menu option (see below).

Audio Inputs and Outputs

This section displays the level indicators for the audio in-

puts and outputs, and for the MPX1 and MPX2 compos-

ite outputs.
