Cobranet Configuration - Ashly 3.04 Operating Manual

Operating Manual - nX, nXe, and nXp Power Amplifiers
CobraNet Receiver Control
Bundle: Selected bundle this receiver is listening to.
Status: Indicates if a valid (green) bundle is being received.
Channel Status (1-8): The Signal Status indicates the current bit depth, sampling rate, and latency of the received
audio stream. The LED indicates this is a valid stream for this device. The sampling rate and latency of the transmitting device
must match that of the receiver.
CN Matrix: The Cobranet matrix allows the user to route any of the channels being received to the desired amplifier
inputs channels.
Input Source Selection: The user can select the input source type for each amplifier channel. For Cobranet, the selec-
tion must be either [Network with Analog Backup] or [Auto]. When Analog Backup is engaged the device will switch to analog
when there is no valid CobraNet data being received.
13.1a CobraNet
A CobraNet Interface has several parameters that may need to be configured for proper operation. The "CobraNet Config"
screen presents many of these networking controls as well as feedback as to the status of the CobraNet interface. It is also pos-
sible to view and modify these parameters via
General Configuration
Description: Description of the Unit and its firmware.
Location: User-definable string typically indicating
the location of the CobraNet device.
Contact: User-definable string typically indicating
the contact person for the CobraNet device.
Conductor Priority: The higher the priority the
more likely it is this unit will become the "Conductor".
The Conductor is the master clock and all other clocks are
synchronized to this clock.
Conductor/ Performer: Indicates if the unit is cur-
rently the conductor or a performer. There can be only one
conductor on a CobraNet network.
Audio Mode: Sampling rate and latency for the de-
vice. Both sending and receiving units must be configured
for the same Audio Mode.
Audio Mode Status: The current Audio Mode of the Unit. If a mode is not supported this status may not equal the se-
lected mode.
Cobranet Network Configuration
MAC Address: The unique MAC address for the CobraNet interface. Note there is a separate MAC address
for the control-only interface. Both primary and secondary ports share the same MAC address.
IP Address: The current IP address for the CobraNet interface.
Static IP Address: When set to an addressable IP address (not 0.0.0.0) this is the IP address used by the
CobraNet device on the CobraNet ports. When this is 0.0.0.0, auto configuration is used by the
CobraNet device to obtain an IP address. This IP address can be provided by either BOOTP/DHCP or
CobraNet Discovery (which uses RARP).
