Linking Software Icons with Networked Loudspeakers
To connect a RHAON network, you first make all the hardware connections, and then (if you are using CobraNet for digital audio distribu-
tion) assign signal routing using RHAON software. A typical amplifier input panel is shown on page 53 in Appendix II.
Let's say you've connected all your Ethernet inputs and outputs. Every venue is different, so is every network. For examples of RHAON /
CobraNet networks, see Appendix 1.
Remember: before connecting your computer running RHAON software to the network, you should have assigned it a static IP address. If
you've done that, connect the computer to your RHAON network. Rhaon will immediately scan the network and list any CobraNet devices
it finds under Network in the the directory tree.
If nothing appears under Network in the directory tree, RHAON was unable to find any devices.To confirm this, you can right click on the
Network folder in the directory tree to gain access to the Scsn Network command.and manually initiate Scan Network.
If RHAON can't find any CobraNet devices on the network, the prompt shown to the right will appear to let you know that something is
wrong and to offer trouble shooting hints. For more
detailed trouble shooting instructions please refer to
page 66.
Note that you did not have to first create virtual
loudspeakers. RHAON found the actual loudspeak-
ers.
The next step is to drag each loudspeaker's direc-
tory listing into the work space. This will create
an icon for it. If you created virtual loudspeakers
before scanning the network, drag each individual
listing from the Network folder into the main work
space and drop it on the appropriate icon.
When you link a networked loudspeaker with a soft-
ware icon, RHAON interrogates the loudspeaker to
make sure the DSP settings stored on your computer
are synchronized with those in the loudspeaker's
onboard memory. If they are not, RHAON displays a
prompt that allows you to choose which settings to
use.
To upload settings from your computer to the
loudspeaker, click on Overwrite Settings on DSP.
To download settings from the loudspeaker and
copy them into computer memory, click on
Read Settings from the DSP.
If you were linking an existing project on your
computer into an existing network, the dialog box
shown to the right will appear and you will need to
decide which settings you want to use, the ones
stored in your project file or the ones present in the
loudspeakers.
