Page 14: Determining The Master System From The Slave Systems
Determining the Master System From the Slave Systems By default, Cronus is set to operate in “stand alone” mode. You will need a license file to link Cronus frames together. In order to link 2 or more Cronus systems together, each must have the optional linking firmware installed. To purchase the firmware, contact RTS sales. -
Page 15: Cronus System Diagram And Frame Cabling
(see cabling diagram at right). Each frame can support up to 32 ports, and each system can have a maximum of 128 ports (all four frames available). By adding a connection to a Cronus Bus Expander (CBX) on ADAM, Cronus can be linked to other Cronus Systems, increasing the number of available ports able to communicate with one another. - Page 16 Introduction Cable drawings for PAP32, AZedit, Trunking and UIO-256/LCP-102. TABLE 7.

Page 17: Cronus Menu Structure
Set Frame ID In a single frame Cronus system, the frame will always be Stand Alone (or the Master frame). In a multi-frame system, the first time Cronus is powered on, each frame will show as Frame 1 and will need to be configured, either manually or by autoconfig, to designate which frame it is. - Page 18 Use the ENC1 knob to adjust the IN Gain. Use the ENC2 knob to adjust the OUT Gain. NOTE: You can change the gain levels in AZedit and see the results on Cronus almost immediately. For more information on gain levels, see Figure 2 on page 4.

Page 29: Ethernet Setup For Cronus
NOTE: The PC must be running version 2.06.07 or later of AZedit and have an Ethernet card installed. Verify Cronus is connected to the PC using either a USB (universal) or RS-232 (ADAM standard) cable. The USB drivers can be found in the AZedit software directory (C:\Telex\AZedit|V20701|USB). You may only use on USB connection (front panel or back panel) at a time. -

In the IP Address field, either enter the Cronus IP Address you wish to connect with, or click the Search button. The search button scans the network for any Cronus devices. If multiple units are on the network, each will appear in the list. - Page 31 Connecting Cronus to the PC and the Network From the Status menu, select Software Versions, then Master Controllers. The Master Controller Version Information screen appears. Highlight the Cronus version to be updated. You may select more than one version at a time by holding the CTRL key down while you select.

Page 37: Basic Network Configuration
Basic Network Configuration Appendix A Basic Network Configuration Basic Network Configuration This section covers basic network configuration set-up and testing. Also covered are basic concepts and operations, including the difference between LAN and WAN networks and how IP Addressing is used. In a networked environment, such as a company, typically there are many computers connected together using a router or a switch. -
Page 38: Wide Area Network
A wide area network (WAN) connects two or more LANs and can span a relatively large geographical area. For example, Telex Headquarters in Burnsville, MN is connected to several branch offices in Nebraska and Arkansas over a WAN. The WAN in existence is the Internet. -
Page 39: Accessing The Wide Area Network (Wan)
80 is used for HTTP traffic. When you type an address into the address bar of a web browser, your computer goes to find an IP Address for the url you are requesting (http://www.telex.com). To obtain this address, the computer contacts a DNS server (Domain Name Server). - Page 40 Basic Network Configuration Packet Translation Table 2. Packet before Translation Source Port IP Address Number 10.2.100.1 1031 Internet From 192.156.136.22 Internet Amazingly, all the address translation that occurs takes place automatically in order to make web browsing and other functions easier.

Page 41: Ip Addresses
Basic Network Configuration IP ADDRESSES If you do not know your IP Address, you can open a DOS screen in a Windows screen. To find your IP Address using ipconfig, do the following: From the Start Menu, open a Command Prompt screen. At the prompt, type ipconfig, then press Enter. -
Page 42: Ping A Computer
Ping a Computer Pinging a computer on the network makes sure it is able to be “seen” and receive messages on the network. NOTE: You can also ping your RVON-8 card to verify that it is responding over the network by putting the cards IP Address in place of the computer IP Address. -

Not all routers are configured the same way and may not look exactly like this screen. NOTE: Linksys™ supports up to 253 nodes on a router. This is why it is called a Router/Switch because there are WAN functions like a router as well as having a 4-port LAN switch.

Page 45: Network Terminology
A DNS Server is an Internet service that translates domain names (for example, in the URL http:// www.telex.com, the domain name is the telex.com) into IP Addresses. The Internet is based on IP Addresses which are numeric and since domain names are alphabetic, they are easier to remember. Every time a domain name is used it must go through the DNS server to be translated into an IP Address. - Page 46 A wide area network connects two or more LANs and can span a relatively large geographical area. For example, Telex Headquarters in Burnsville, MN is connected to several of its branch offices in Nebraska and Arkansas over the wide area network. The largest WAN is the Internet.
