Unit Id Rules; Physical Connection And Redundancy - Yamaha CL Series System Design Manual

3-3. Unit ID Rules


There should never be two consoles with the same CONSOLE ID in a single system.

If there are more than four consoles in a single system, use the "ID OFF" option for the
additional consoles.

Console ID#1 and R series Unit ID#1 can exist in the same system: "Console ID" and "Unit
ID" are handled independently.

Each R series device (original Rio and newer Rio-D2) should have a unique "Unit ID" within
a system.
How UNIT ID is applied to Dante device name
The UNIT ID as configured above is used as a part of its Dante device name. Each device name
automatically includes "Y" followed by its UNIT ID at the beginning of its device name. This part
of the device name should never be edited, to avoid losing control of the device. The part of the
name following "Y0**-" can be freely edited.

4. Physical Connection and Redundancy

CL/QL consoles and R series devices all support two methods of connection: "Redundant" and "Daisy
Chain" (or "Switched"). For the safest connection of Dante devices, utilize their two Dante ports
and dual network switches to establish a redundant network in a star topology.
