Troubleshooting

This section includes information to assist you
in troubleshooting Control 24.
Communication Problems
If communication is lost, Pro Tools posts a dia-
log explaining that this has occurred and sug-
gests that you check connections or power-cycle
the units. Control 24 automatically attempts to
recover communication until it is reestablished
or you cancel the warning dialogs.
Pro Tools Error Message: "Lost
Communication"
If Pro Tools loses communication with
Control 24, the unit will display OFFLINE in the
Time Counter Display. A message will also ap-
pear on-screen in Pro Tools.
If this happens, power down Control 24, wait a
few seconds, and then power up Control 24
again. If communication problems persist, make
sure cable connections are properly configured
and secured.
If you are not using Control 24, disable it in
Pro Tools Peripherals dialog.
Lost unit names are listed in italics and net-
worked units are underlined in the Peripherals
dialog. Disable Control 24 in the Peripherals di-
alog to make it available to other networked sys-
tems.
If communication does not resume, or if error
messages continue to appear, click Enable in the
Peripherals window to rescan for your unit.
Once Control 24 has been enabled, you do not
have to re-configure the Peripheral Dialog again
unless changes to the setup are necessary.
