Remote User Interface
System Menu
The System Menu is home to the System status screen. It also contains the menus and controls for configuring the Control and
AES67 Ethernet ports.
The main system screen contains a wealth of technical status information about the device hardware and software (A). Some
of it relates to the overall health of the unit (such as Power Supply status, unit uptime) but most will only be required during
the course of troubleshooting an issue with our support team or performing software updates.
The Unit Name and Location (B) are entered on this screen. These are "friendly" fields to be used in any way that makes sense
for your particular operation. See Chapter 6, "Detailed Setup and Configuration".
The current Time and Date (C) can be changed by clicking on the "Edit" button.
Clicking on the Master Unit Bypass button (D) engages a hard relay bypass that removes all internal circuits and processes
from the signal path and connects each input directly to its corresponding output. This button will turn red when ARC is in
bypass mode. Note that this same hard relay bypass automatically engages when the unit is powered down.
Clicking on the Locate Unit button (E) will cause the front panel of this particular ARC to change color, making it easy to
identify it amongst the dozens of them we hope will populate your racks. A second click will stop the light show. Note that
enabling Locate Mode will not affect the audio.
It should come as no surprise that clicking on the Reboot Unit button (H) – wait for it – reboots ARC and engages the hard
relay bypass for the duration of the reboot process.
Important!
During the reboot process – which typically takes less the one minute – no loudness control will take place.
Depending upon your I/O configuration, a complete loss of audio may occur.
Clicking on the Reset Unit to Factory Defaults button (J) resets all parameters to the factory default state with the exception of
IP settings, which will be retained so that you can remotely connect to ARC even after performing a reset.
If you wish to reset IP settings as well, enable the Include IP Settings in Reset button (I) prior to the reset.
Important!
Performing a factory reset will erase all APTO user profiles, I/O routing, and loudness logs. This information
cannot be reclaimed once you reset ARC, even by contacting customer support or conjuring it up through
supernatural ceremonies involving bones and a Ouija board.
Software Updates
ARC has two software banks. Both can be populated with different software versions, but only one version can be active at
any given time. The Active bank (G) is indicated in red. Instructions for uploading and selecting different software versions
is provided along with the software when you either download it from the customer portal or website or it is provided by our
customer support team.
