Device List
The Device list occupies the centre of the HiQnet Setup page, and will initially be
completely empty. Once HiQnet has been turned on, and a HiQnet network is
attached to the console, the console will search for any attached AKG microphones
and display a list of the microphones found on the network in the left-hand column of
the Device List. Note: It may take up to 30 seconds to discover the mics.
The DEVICE column shows the names of all of the AKG microphones that have been
discovered on the network. This column is automatically populated.
The NET column in the list shows the HiQnet node address of the AKG Hub4000Q to
which each microphone is connected.
In the example shown above there is only one Hub4000Q connected, but it is
possible for multiple Hub4000Qs to be connected to the network, and in this case the
number in the NET column will enable groups of mics attached to these different
Hubs to be distinguished from one another.
The SOURCE column in the list indicates the connector to which each microphone is
associated. In order for the console to know on which channel strip to display the
2
VM monitoring information, it is necessary to associate each of the microphone
devices with a physical connector, which will correspond to the connector that the
microphone's audio output is connected to.
The LOC button activates the Locate function on the selected AKG receiver.
Pressing this will cause the front panel display of the chosen receiver to flash,
allowing it to be more easily identified among a rack of others.
