Manual set-up of unit IDs

Manual set-up of unit IDs
After connecting up your XL8 network system, you may need to set up the ID of each
mic splitter, I/O box and DSP unit connected in the XL8 system (although they are
normally factory configured). This is because units of the same type must all have their
own unique ID numbers. There is no need to switch on the control centre, as the
procedure can be carried out offline. The following example shows you how to set up
an I/O unit. This procedure is basically the same for each type of unit, although there
may be variations in their set up menus. Please refer to the unit's operator manual for
more details.
This number will
flash to indicate
that this option is
not currently
selected.
1
Switch on the I/O unit by pressing the mains on/off switch on the rear panel.
2
After unit has powered up and the I/O's control panel shows the default display, press the MENU button and
hold down for approximately two seconds to access menu mode.
3
Press the down arrow button to select the "Set ID" option (option 2).
4
Press SELECT to activate the "Set ID" option; the unit will show the currently selected ID number (line 2).
5
Use the up and down buttons to select the required ID of your unit. For example, for an ID of "15", press the
down button 14 times.
6
When you have reached the required ID number, press SELECT to store the ID. The display will run through
a 'store ID' sequence by displaying "Trying ID" followed by "Saving new ID", before taking you back to the
"Set ID" display. The ID number will have ceased to flash and will remain constantly on to show that it is
now currently selected.
7
Press MENU to exit.
