Default SoundStructure System Name

The system name is used to easily identify units and can be set with the SoundStructure Studio as shown

in the previous figure by entering the name and pressing the Apply button or by using the sys_name API

command as shown below.

set sys_name "Room 475B"

the system will respond with the command acknowledgment

val sys_name "Room 475B"

Now the system name has been set to "Room 475B" and that's how it will be identified during the next time

Connect to Devices is selected. Save the project to disk with the File Save or File Save As option from

SoundStructure Studio to save the file to disk and also when working online to force the SoundStructure

device to store the system name permanently.

Link-Local IP Addresses

SoundStructure devices configured for DHCP and running version 1.3 or later firmware will default to the

link-local IP address of 169.254.1.1 when there are no DHCP servers available to provide an IP address

when the SoundStructure device powers up. The link local addressing makes it possible to connect to a

computer directly to a SoundStructure device with either a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable with-

out either having to set a static IP address or having a DHCP server available.
