    ACO6800+AES Installation and Operation Manual Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive Directive 2002/95/EC—commonly known as the European Union (EU) Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)—sets limits on the use of certain substances found in electrical and electronic equipment. The intent of this legislation is to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals that may leach out of landfill sites or otherwise contaminate the environment during end-of-life recycling.
  • Page 9: Safety

    viii Preface Safety Carefully review all safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to this product or any products connected to it. If this product is rack-mountable, it should be mounted in an appropriate rack using the rack-mounting positions and rear support guides provided. To protect a frame from circuit overloading, connect each frame to a separate electrical circuit.

  • Page 19: Audio Configuration

    Chapter 2 Installation and Operation Audio Configuration The ACO6800+AES operates in one of two DA Work Modes: 2x4 mode (dual independent one input/ four output DA)  1x8 mode (one input/ eight output DA)  (-CDL versions are effectively 2x3 and 1x6 because one output in each channel is a loopthrough.) When you select either one of the DA Work Modes, the available options change in the parameter tree.

    Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips Software Communication Problems Problem The frame is powered up, but the module does not communicate with CCS Navigator or the web GUI interface. Solutions Ensure you have specified the proper module slot.  See your 6800+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for more information about slot identification.
  • Page 35 Appendix A Communication and Control Troubleshooting Tips Problem The IP address of the frame has been forgotten. Solution Follow this procedure: Remove the ETH6800+ module from the frame. Select DIP switch 2 on the ETH6800+ module and slide the tab to the forward position. This sets the ETH6800+ module to its default IP address of 192.168.100.250.
