Power Up The Impulse Cores & Connect A Pc - Calrec Argo S Startup Manual

1. POWER UP THE IMPULSE CORES & CONNECT A PC
POWER CONNECTION TO CORE(S) AND PC CONNECTION TO PRIMARY CORE SETUP PORT
1. Carefully remove the Impulse core(s) and cable(s) from their packaging. If there are any signs of damage, please contact Calrec
Customer Support and do not continue.
2. In a redundant system, two Impulse cores are used to provide redundancy, one core being the Primary, the other being the
Secondary. These will be identified with labels and when powered the Primary core, will identify itself by lighting its Primary Core
Indicator LED Green, which is located on the front of the Control Module as shown above.
3. To power the core(s), connect the power cable to both PSU inlets on the front of each core and power it on. The Primary core
will boot up with the Primary LED lit and shortly afterwards the Core status LED on each core will flash Green, to show that
the system is running. The Module and Fan OK LEDs should both be lit Green when running.
4. Configure the Ethernet adapter in the PC with an unused IP address such as 172.16.255.99 and Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Note: Please refer to the PC's operating instructions, if unsure how to configure its ethernet adapter.
5. Connect the Ethernet adapter to the Setup port on the front of the Primary Impulse Core which by default is the RJ45 connector,
I/F '2' on the lower front of the Control Module in the Impulse Core.
6. For Redundancy, connect the Impulse cores together, here they are directly linked via a RJ45 Ethernet cable & 2 x SFP interfaces
between the two I/F '5' SFP connections on the lower front of the Control Module on the Primary and Secondary cores.
