EVE/NET Remote User Manual General Principles Ÿ Any EVE/NET system comprises one or more remotes, as well as one or more controlled rack mounted effects units. For readability, these will be referred to as Orvilles in the following text, although they may in fact be members of the DSP7000 family or other units.
To change Orvilles remote settings, hit the SETUP key until you see the EVE/NET label above a softkey. Hit this softkey to bring up the EVE/NET screen shown to the right. Note that this screen is only visible on Orvilles with EVE/NET capability.
Using one Orville to control another Using EVE/NET, it is possible for one Orville to control another, so that they operate in tandem. For this to make sense, both Orvilles should have the same version of software installed, and any User Presets saved should be the same on each.
EVE/NET Remote User Manual Extra controller options with EVE/NET When an Orville is being controlled by a remote, a number of extra controller options appear on the controller (mod con or assign) setup screens. These can be used to add further remote control options for preset or system parameters.
EVE/NET Stick At the back of the remote are four connectors, as shown above. Only the EVE/NET connector is required to be connected, the use of rest is optional. Ü See Appendix A for pin out information for these connectors.

This is a general purpose key that can be used as a source for a controller. Ü Extra controller options with EVE/NET on page 3. Encoder Knobs These are general purpose controllers, comprising a knob, an LED indicator ring around it to show the knob position, and a switch which is operated by pushing down on the knob.
These may be used for either of two purposes: 1) As general purpose controller buttons. Ü Extra controller options with EVE/NET on page 3. 2) To load setups on the controlled unit. Ü See Orville User Manual for more on setups.
Using MIDI with the remote The MIDI connections on the remote are routed over EVE/NET to the connected units. This means that an external MIDI controller (e.g. keyboard, joystick) can be plugged into the remote, and it will act upon the units that the remote is controlling, just as if it were directly plugged into the Orvilles.
EVE/NET Remote User Manual If a remote is perpetually off-line and showing repeated error messages as shown by the screen on the right it may be that its range setting is different from others on the network - this can be checked by trying different range settings to see if the problem can be resolved.
There are two issues to consider when cabling an EVE/NET network: i. Topology - this is the way the EVE/NET nodes are connected. (A node is either a remote console or an EVE/NET equipped effects processor.) The nodes must be connected in a “daisy-chain”...
Power supplied from an Orville may be disconnected by removing the 1A fuse near the RJ45 socket. Eventide can supply a small power adaptor that is capable of powering two remote consoles, and has useful power and termination options. This is provided as part of the DSP7x00 Installation Kit and is also available separately.
Appendix B - Installation Grounding Since the remote consoles are powered down the EVE/NET cable, it follows that their electrical grounds are also connected down this cable. As connected Orvilles and DSP7x00s will usually also be grounded, it follows that care must be taken to avoid ground loops when more than one effects unit is being controlled.

Appendix C - Hardware Configuration In order to configure an EVE/NET node you must first identify it. Orvilles and 7000/7500’s will be one of two types: 1) With RJ45 EVE/NET socket mounted on motherboard. 2) With RJ45 EVE/NET socket mounted on plug-in option card.
