Global page - Introduction<br />

The Global page offers functionality for setting up a<br />

network cluster of up to 64 <strong>EQ</strong> channels. The advantage of<br />

setting up multiple <strong>EQ</strong> <strong>Station</strong>s in a network cluster is, that<br />

it becomes very easy to monitor and adjust all channels in<br />

the cluster from any of the User Interfaces available (front<br />

panels, Motofaders or Virtual<strong>EQ</strong> <strong>Station</strong>).<br />

To be able to set up and operate the <strong>EQ</strong> <strong>Station</strong> Cluster<br />

network, read the following and examples carefully.<br />

A few key terms to understand the Cluster network<br />

topology.<br />

Cluster:<br />

• A Cluster is a group of <strong>EQ</strong> <strong>Station</strong>s with a total of up to<br />

64 ch.'s (E.g. 8x 8 ch.'s or 16x 4 ch.'s - or any<br />

combination of 4 and 8 channel <strong>EQ</strong> <strong>Station</strong>s).<br />

• An <strong>EQ</strong> <strong>Station</strong> must be assigned to a specific network<br />

Cluster when you want to operate multiple devices using<br />

the <strong>TC</strong>P/IP network.<br />

• Assigning a device to a cluster is done at the Setup/<br />

Network and devices page on each <strong>EQ</strong> <strong>Station</strong>.<br />

Default Cluster is: A.<br />

Device:<br />

• A devic e is the physical <strong>EQ</strong> <strong>Station</strong> unit. When set up in<br />

a Cluster network, it is a MUST to set unique Device<br />

Names for all units.<br />

• Renaming of a device is done at the Setup page on each<br />

individual <strong>EQ</strong> <strong>Station</strong>.<br />

Channel Config<br />

Input:<br />

• The individual physical Inputs on <strong>EQ</strong> <strong>Station</strong>s (analog or<br />

digital).<br />

• All Inputs must be assigned to channel numbers in the<br />

Cluster.<br />

• Factory defaults are the logical numbers between 1 and 8.<br />

• Assigning of physical Inputs to Cluster channel numbers<br />

is done at the Global page.<br />

Channel:<br />

• A Channel is a number between 1 and 64 in a Cluster<br />

• A Channel number may be assigned a physical input<br />

from a device.<br />

• Channels can be labeled with individual names.<br />

• Assigning of Channel Cluster numbers to physical inputs<br />

is done at the Global page.<br />

Cluster - key issues<br />

• All devices in a Cluster network MUST have unique<br />

Device Names.<br />

• All devices in a Cluster network MUST have unique IP<br />

addresses with identical first three numbers<br />

(e.g. 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.101, etc).<br />

• All devices MUST have identical Subnet mask (e.g.<br />

“255.255.255.0”) and identical Cluster ID (e.g. “A”).<br />

• All devices MUST have unique Device Numbers.<br />
