Changing the 64/56 channel MADI mode

We have set out to provide a computer-based DAW with 40 Analogue inputs and outputs and 24 AES/EBU inputs and
outputs at 48kHz. By default, the Alpha-Link is set to provide only 56 MADI I/O channels at 48 kHz. So we need to change
it to 64 channel MADI mode.
The 56/64 channel MADI mode selection is Option 1 of Page 1, so you will only need one button-press to switch to 64
channels.
As you have already started the Alpha-Link in Diagnostics mode, follow the steps below:
1) By default, Page 1 will be selected (indicated by LED 17 being lit in the Metering section). Keep that selection.
2) By default, Option 1 will be selected (indicated by LED 9 being lit in the Metering section). Keep that selection.
3) Press the INPUT button. LED 1 will go OFF, indicating that the Alpha-Link is now in 64 channel MADI mode.
