Editing The Network; Viewing Resources - Calrec SUMMA User Manual

EDITING THE NETWORK

All I/O resources on a Hydra2 network can be used by all consoles as long as they have been granted
access from the network administration tool, H2O, and the resources have been added to the consoles
'required list'.
Due to the scalable nature of Hydra2 you may have access to a large amount of I/O resources, some of which you won't
always need. The 'required list' provides a way to narrow the scope for individual consoles, speeding up workflow and
making port identification easier. Only I/O resources in the 'required list' will be available for patching to and from the
console.

Viewing Resources

Tap SYSTEM SETTINGS in the top right of the touch display, then select 'Required I/O Boxes'. You will see a split
screen with all online resources on the left and the 'required list' on the right.
Both lists are held in tables with 3 columns: Hardware ID, label and type. It may help to sort these tables by tapping on
column headers. Multiple taps will switch sorting to be either ascending or descending.
Hardware IDs for physical I/O boxes are set from the dip switches on the back of the units (See "Audio I/O Connections"
in the Installation manual for more information). Hydra patchbay IDs are taken from H2O and are related to folder names.
Labels are explained in detail, here:
FIGURE 1 - ACCESSING SYSTEM SETTINGS
Tap to select a single online resource on the left (hold and drag or drag handles to select multiple resources) then
tap ADD TO REQUIRED LIST at the bottom left of the online resources window. The resources will then appear
in the Required List on the right. You will notice that they are shaded green, with a green 'required' tag attached.
This is mirrored in the online list on the left so you can quickly see which resources you have already added. If any of the
resources in the Required List go offline, they will be shaded red with an 'offline' tag attached. The 'require' and 'offline'
tags can be seen in the image below.
