    If the LED blinks slightly slower for 10 seconds, the device is being identified. When the device enters into Bootloader mode, the LED will blink slowly. This means that the device needs a firmware update. The update can be done through the AUDAC Touch™2 application. 3) Ethernet connection: The Ethernet connection is the essential connection for the AMP203.

    This chapter guides you through the setup process for a basic AMP203 project where an external Dante source is connected to the network (e.g. AUDAC XMP44). The control of the system is done through an external wall panel or Audac Touch 2.
  • Page 12: Configuring The Amp203

    Once all connections are made, and the AMP203 is operational, the routing for the Dante audio transfer can be made. For configuration of the routing, the Audinate Dante Controller software shall be used. The use of this tool is extensively described in the Dante controller user guide which can be downloaded from both audac (www.audac.eu) or Audinate (www.audinate.com) websites.
  • Page 13 Once the Dante routing settings are made through the Dante controller, other settings of the AMP203 itself can be configured using the Audac Touch 2 application, which can be freely downloaded and operated from various platforms. This is very intuitive to be operated and automatically discovers all available compatible products in your network. Available settings include volume, input selection, as well as advanced configurations such as output power limiters and much more.

    Click on the menu icon in the top left corner to let the menu appear. From the menu select “device list”. The device list is an overview of all devices which have been discovered since you created your account. Every time you start up the audac touch application, it automatically scans your network and adds discovered devices to the list.

    It means, if they are all installed throughout the same area, they all will be simultaneously operated by one single control (e.g. volume fader) from the AUDAC Touch™ 2 application. Additionally, a wall panel which is physically connected to one of the linked devices will automatically control all the linked devices.
  • Page 16 Each input channel can be individually enabled and disabled. Disabling inputs will make them disappear from the inputs selectable in the Audac Touch™ 2 widgets, and they also won’t be selectable from any connected wall panel or peripheral. Settings >> Power Set power The maximum input power of amplifier can be configured here (the power which is drawn from the PoE equipment).

    Chapter 5 Peripheral connections In addition to the controllable functions through Audac Touch™ 2, additional wall control panels can be locally connected (e.g. MWX45 wall panels). This allows basic control functions such as volume control and input selection. When multiple units are configured through TouchLink™, all units within the same configured zone will be responding.

If your network is using a different IP range, the AUDAC products will not be accessible from your network. You can change the IP address of the AUDAC products to make them work properly in your network.
