Lock Mode; Basic Editing: Creating Channel Groups; Naming (Or Re-Naming) Devices, Channels And Groups - Martin Audio MA NETCONTROL User Manual

Each MA-NET1 may be configured for sequential power-up for all connected amplifiers in the Subnet (See
the MA-NET1 Operation Manual). To access this function in MA Netcontrol:
Click on Groups in the toolbar
Click on the Details button of the Subnet module icon
Click "On" button for Configured Power. Amplifiers will power-up in sequence as programmed in the
N LB 60E for that subnet. Repeat as needed for additional subnets.
Mute
Mute functions are most easily accessible in the Group view. Click on the "Mute" button at the bottom of the
graphical module as appropriate. You may select "All" (all channels on all subnets), "Subnet" (channels in the
selected subnet only), "Group" (channels in selected group), or any individual channel. The button illuminates
to indicate mute status of the selected channel(s).
Solo
Solo functions are most easily accessed in the Group view. You may solo a Subnet, a Group, or an individual
channel by clicking on the appropriate "Solo" button at the top of the graphical module. The yellow "Solo"
button illuminates to indicate solo status of selected channel(s). All other channels show a mute indication.
Important Notes!
Mute takes precedence over Solo. A channel that has been muted, either locally or as part of a
Group cannot be soloed until it has been un-muted.
A Mute or Solo command for a Subnet will affect all devices connected to the subnet, including those
devices not in the current configuration or shown as "Unknown."

5.4.2 Lock mode

You may lock MA Netcontrol to prevent inadvertent changes or unauthorized use. To lock MA Netcontrol,
click on the Lock icon in the toolbar.
You may select either Configuration or Operation lock modes in the View menu.
Configuration lock prohibits changes to current and saved amplifier configurations.
Operation lock blocks access to operating functions (power on/off, solo, mute) as well as prohibiting
most changes to configuration. This is essentially a "monitor only" mode. Refer to Section 6.9.1 for
details.
You may block access to the Unlock function using the Password Protect mode. Select Lock Settings from
the View menu, and then select Use Password Protection. If no password has been entered, you will be
prompted to enter one.

5.4.3 Basic Editing: Creating Channel Groups

MA Netcontrol offers a number of features for Online and Offline editing of amplifier configurations. For many
users, the most powerful editing feature will be creating channel groups. You may assign any channel from
any device to a specific group. Channel grouping is particularly useful when channels from several devices
are assigned to the same function in the system, such as supplying power to the HF drivers in a line array.
To create channel groups, choose Device view and select Edit mode. Groups may be created and edited in
either the Offline or Online state.
To add a new Group, click the "Add Group" button. Select the channels to be added to the new Group by
clicking in the box to the right of the device corresponding to that channel. You may assign the same channel
to more than one group.
To access operating functions or status indications for a group, select the Groups view. All groups and
subnets show in this view. All operations (mute, solo etc.) selected on the group module will affect all
channels in the group. Also, any fault or warning indications affecting a channel in the group will be indicated
for the group as well. For detailed information on fault and warning indications, see sections 6.6.4 and 6.6.5.
5.4.4 Naming (or re-naming) Devices, Channels and Groups Devices
You may rename devices to indicate function or physical location, e.g. "left rack 2." To rename a device,
choose Device view and select the device and choose "Rename" from the Edit view. Alternatively, you may
