Configuration presets
The presets menu (item #7 in the Devices tab on
page 18) provides many useful presets for various
host routing scenarios. These presets are a
convenient shortcut for the routing grid setups
discussed in the next few sections.
Naming computer input and output channels
Click on any computer input or output name in the
routing grid (Figure 7-1) to change its name. These
names appear in your host audio software (if
supported).
Figure 7-2: An example of routing physical inputs on the 1248 to computer channels (for host audio software). In this example, S/PDIF
input is on channels 23-24 going to the computer, and 24 channels total are being used for streaming to the host computer, but more can
be added for other inputs from the mixer or AVB network, if any.

Streaming computer audio to and from the
on-board mixer
In Figure 7-1, you'll see "mix" inputs across the top
of the grid. These are output busses from the your
interface's on-board mixer. To route one of these
mix busses to your host computer software, click
the grid at the intersection of the mix column and
desired computer channel row. Now, the mix bus
output will be routed to the computer via the
channel you selected.
