Setting Up The ID Of The Unit(s)

After connecting up your system, you may need to set up the ID of the unit(s) in
the rack, such as the Neutron DSP Engine, as each unit must have its own unique
ID number.
NOTE: The I/O unit doesn't have to be connected in the system for you to
set up its ID, as the procedure can be carried out offl ine.
After connecting up the audio cables, carry out the following:
1. Plug the three mains cables into the mains power outlets.
2. Observing Caution (1)! above, plug the connectors (see Wiring
Instructions) of the mains cables into the mains sockets on the rear of the
control centre. (The green LED next to each mains socket will illuminate if its
mains supply is on.)
3. Observing Caution (2)! above, apply power to the control centre by
switching the D.C. POWER switch on. The control centre will boot up and,
when the default GUI screens are displayed, it is ready for use.
