Page 14: Basic Setup
NION™ Hardware Manual Basic Setup Although there are many variables that exist for properly configuring the NION to pass audio, the most basic requirements are shown below. These basic parameters will ensure that you can connect, pass audio and control the NION processor. Before you can get audio to pass through the NION, you will need to design your project file in the NWare software.
Page 15: Configuration
Start Up Configuration When you have established typical connections and are ready to load your NWare Project File, you should first configure the NION’s basic operational parameters. Certain functions, such as communications, may not function correctly until properly configured. The configuration process is accomplished with the NION’s front panel interface.
Page 16: Setting The Ip Mode (Static Ip)
NION™ Hardware Manual Setting the IP Mode - Continued From the NION Home page, use the wheel to move the cursor to the “Config” icon. Then, press the wheel button to make the selection and bring up the first Configuration page, “LAN CONFIG”.
Page 17: Configuring For Cobranet
Configuration Configuring for CobraNet CobraNet is an important component of system design with NION products. In order to ensure proper operation of the CobraNet audio transport, several variables must considered. The NION is shipped with a default CM-1 setting of 0.0.0.0, which means that the IP will be set only when the CobraNet Discovery application needs and assigns it.
Page 18: Adjusting The Lcd View Angle
NION™ Hardware Manual Adjusting the LCD View Angle The LCD CONFIG page provides adjustment of the LCD backlight intensity and the view angle. Use the wheel and push button to select the LCD Backlight control. Use the wheel’s rotary control to select the desired value.
Page 19: Configuring Security
Configuration Configuring Security An integral password-based security function is included in the NION hardware. This feature allows the system designer to secure the NION by locking all front panel functionality. To enable security, a front-panel password, or “combination” must be configured. Once the combination is correctly configured, the system can be locked from the system LOCK screen.
