takes before it decides to revert to Auto IP depends on the operating system but it can take several
minutes to acquire an Auto IP address.
Static-IP
If the device or the computer has a static IP address set, System Engineer may not be able to 'see' the
device if it is in a different IP Address range (i.e. in a different
reasons it is best to avoid the use of static IP addressing if at all possible.
IP Troubleshooting
If System Engineer cannot connect to the device:
•
A Router acting as a DHCP server is highly recommended as this provides the most trouble-
free way of administering IP addresses. Always switch on any DHCP server before connecting
either the computer or Amplifier to the network.
•
If not using a DHCP server, check that the Current IP address in the device is compatible with
the IP address of the computer. Generally, the leftmost two sets of 3 digits should be the
same.
•
If there is no Router in the system acting as a DHCP server, wait 10 minutes (for the computer
to acquire the correct IP address) and try again.
•
Check that the Firewall in the computer will allow System Engineer access to the network
both private and public networks

Snapshots
A Snapshot may be recalled either from the System Engineer application or via the AUX port on the
rear of the Device, or by using the third party interface protocol, Tipi.
Recalling a Snapshot triggers the recalling of a Component to each input and output, and may change
other device-wide settings, effectively recalling a processor-wide 'preset'.
Regardless of the source of a Snapshot recall, any change in the snapshot number will be associated
with the 'expanding box' pattern on the left-hand indicators, and a number of indicators on the right-
hand side indicating the new snapshot number.

The parameters inside the Drive Modules are not individually stored in Snapshots. Recalling a
Snapshot will merely trigger the recall of the appropriate Input and Output Components, rather than
restoring the parameters that were active when the Snapshot was stored. This has the distinct
advantage that the library of OEM presets may be updated without having to be concerned about
what parameters might have been saved in users Snapshots. It does however require that any
existing edits to the parameters in Drive Modules are stored into Drive Module presets before a
Snapshot is stored.

AUX Port A
The AUX A connector has two inputs, X & Y. These allow simple contact closure devices (relays or
switches) or external logic signals to change the state of the amplifier as described below. Connecting
an AUX input to ground (the earth symbol) will trigger it; there is no requirement for an external
