Operating In Online And Offline Mode - Polycom SoundStructure C16 Design Manual

The Customizing SoundStructure Designs describes how to customize the SoundStructure device settings.
If working online, the Ethernet port on the project tree on the left of the screen displays a large green dot
next to the device name. When working offline there is a gray dot next to the device name.

Operating in Online and Offline Mode

SoundStructure Studio has been designed to fully operate in either online or offline modes. Online operation
means that SoundStructure Studio is communicating with one or more SoundStructure devices, sending
commands to the devices, and receiving command acknowledgments from the devices. Every change to
the SoundStructure design is made in real-time to the actual devices. There is no requirement to compile
any SoundStructure Studio code before the impact can be heard.
Offline operation means that SoundStructure Studio is working with an emulation of the SoundStructure
devices and is not communicating with actual SoundStructure devices. Commands are sent to the emulator
and command acknowledgments receive commands from the emulator allowing the designer to test a
SoundStructure system design without ever connecting to a system.
