See the interconnection diagram on the following picture: Figure 6.1C INSTALLATION MANUAL: PAA29+ V 1.4 (07/2011)
6.2 CONNECTION TO A DOREMI SERVER OVER ETHERNET The connection of the PAA29+ to a Doremi server can be done through the Ethernet port. The PAA29+ must be added to the Doremi server as a new device and the send/receive commands configured as explained throughout this manual. First, set up the PAA29+ in order to enable the Ethernet port.
Page 16
Put back top cover device and connect PAA29+ to the Ethernet Switch of Doremi’s server network, use a cable CAT 5 or higher with a pin to pin configuration. See the interconnection diagram on the following picture: Figure 6.2C INSTALLATION MANUAL: PAA29+ V 1.4 (07/2011)
6.3 CONNECTION TO A DOREMI SERVER USING THE SERIAL PORT It is also possible to connect the Doremi server to the PAA29+ using the serial port if the server has a 2.0.5.0 or higher software version configuring the PAA29+ to activate the serial port, as followed: 1.
Page 18
3. Put back the PAA29+ top cover and connect it to the Doremi server through the RS232 serial port, use a DB9 pin to pin serial cable. You need to add the PAA29+ as a serial device. The connection diagram is in Figure 6.3C Figure 6.3C INSTALLATION MANUAL: PAA29+ V 1.4 (07/2011)
6.4 CONNECTION TO A DOREMI SERVER USING THE GPIO PORT Other way to connect the PAA29+ to Doremi server is using the GPIO port. This connection does not require adding the PAA29+ as a new device to the Doremi server, because we are using the server’s GPIO port. There is no need to set up the PAA29+ with this kind of connection, due to the fact that the PAA29+ operates as a power interface and isolation of the GPIO server port.
7. CONFIGURATION OF THE PAA29+ ETHERNET PORT Before connecting the PAA29+ to the server over Ethernet, set up the PAA29+ port in order to be in the same sub-network as the server. There are several ways to do it. 7.1 OVER A TCP/IP CONNEXION In order to connect with the PAA29+ Ethernet over a TCP/IP connection, it is necessary to know the IP address of the PAA29+.
Page 21
Figure 7.1A 5. You can see the main set up page on Figure 7.1B. On the left side, there is a menu with the set up options, choose the option “Network” and the page appears just like the Figure 7.1B, if the PAA29+ is a factory device, the data on the window will be the same ones as shown on the figure.
Page 22
Figure 7.1B 6. Once done, choose the Menu option “Apply Settings” and a page appears just like the Figure 7.1C, which will indicate that the data have been saved and that the device is being rebooted in order for the settings to be applied.
7. If the new PAA29+’s IP is in a different sub-network than the PC we used for the settings, the PC net configuration must be changed in order to communicate with the PAA29+ again and check if the changes have been done successfully. 8.

8. Once the file is imported and the server restarted, the “SERIAL AUTOMATION” tab will be as shown on figure 8.2C. 9. Thereby the cues are available in the Dolby server ready to be inserted in any show. 10.To modify the name of the cue, double click on it in the column “name”, do the modification and save the changes.
8.3 DOREMI SERVER SET-UP This manual is based on the Doremi software version 1.0.4-0, other versions could have little differences 8.3.1 ADD THE PAA29+ TO THE SERVER You must add the device before initiating a connection between the PAA29+ and the Doremi server by following the next steps: 1.
Page 32
9. You can see the Device Manager window with this configuration on the figure 8.3.1B. 10.Click on the icon “Save” in order to save the new device. Figure 8.3.1B 11.If you are not logged as admin, you will need to be authenticated. Figure 8.3.1C.
8.3.2 SETUP THE OUTPUT CUES (NON-LIBRARY METHOD) Once the device is added, set up the “cues” in order to manage the PAA29+ outputs. You have two methods to do this, the first one is to add the output cues (only valid for output cues, not for trigger cues) following the Doremi Macro Editor Manual.
Page 34
4. On the appearing “Send a Message” pop-up window, write the following: • Message Label: Following report of the operation (optional). • Device Name: Select “Paa29+”. • Message Type: Select “Text”. • Message: Write in the dialog box the message in ASCII code that will be sent to the PAA29+ when executing the macro cue.

8.3.3 SETUP THE OUTPUT CUES USING PAA29+ XML LIBRARY The second method to set-up the cues for the Paa29+ in a Doremi server is using the “paa29+.xml” file, included in the documentation and test CD, to create a cues library for the device in the server. Using this method you can use the inputs and the outputs of the Paa29+ with the Doremi server.
Page 37
3. Once you are connected to the server via ftp, upload the “paa29+.xml” file supplied in the documentation and test CD to the “/etc/cueslib/” directory in the server. You can see the “paa29+.xml” loaded in this folder in the figure 8.3.3A. Now, you can set-up the output cues taking the commands from this library.
Page 38
Figure 8.3.3C 8. On the appearing “Library” pop-up window, select the action that needed and validate with the OK button as you can see in the figure 8.3.3D. The keys for the action are these: • The actions from H1 to H12 activate (High) and maintain active the corresponding output.
