Setup The setup workflow is shown below. 1 Install (or uninstall) the R Remote 2 Set on the devices 3 Connect the computer and the devices 4 Power-on the devices 5 Specify the computer's IP address 6 Use Dante Controller or the CL/QL series console to specify the routing For details on connections and settings for the devices, refer also to the owner's manual of your devices. Install (or uninstall) the R Remote The installation procedure is as follows. 1.
Set on the devices Set the DIP switches and [UNIT ID] rotary switch of the unit, taking note of the following settings. UNIT ID Set a unique UNIT ID that will not conflict with the other device, over a range of 1 to 24 (hexadecimal 18). R Remote will not detect units with a setting of 0 or 25 or higher. (For details on converting between decimal and hexadecimal, refer to the "Decimal/hexadecimal conversion table" on page 42) Set the DIP switches to the following combinations.
Tio1608-D Settings Switch Auto IP (Link Local) (The IP address will be automatically sets to 169.254.xxx.xxx.) (5 and 6 up) DHCP (The IP address assigned by the DHCP server will be used.) (5 up, 6 down) Static IP (Auto) [The IP address will be set to 192.168.0.xxx (xxx= UNIT ID).] (5 down, 6 up) Static IP (Manual) (Set the IP address to the value specified on the R Remote) (5 and 6 down) RMio64-D The IP address is set by using the R Remote since RMio64-D has no DIP switches for setting the IP address.
START UP MODE If a CL/QL series unit is not connected, we recommend that you set START UP MODE to RESUME. If this is set to REFRESH, settings must be transmitted from the R Remote each time the R series unit is restarted. For devices other than the RMio64-D and the RSio64-D Settings REFRESH The following settings are initialized when turned the device on.
Power-on the devices Power-on the devices. The DIP switch settings and the rotary switch settings after power-on will not be applied until the next power-on. Specify the computer's IP address Specify the computer's IP address so that it can communicate with the devices. The method of making this setting depends on whether you're using Windows or Mac. Also, the computer's IP address setting will differ depending on the IP address specified in "Set on the devices." If you're using Mac, click the link.
5. Make the following settings according to the IP address setting you made in "Set on the devices." Auto IP or DHCP Static IP (Auto) Click [Obtain an IP address automatically]. Click [Use the following IP address:]. As the IP address, enter "192.168.0.xxx (a value in the range 1 to 254 that does not conflict with any other device, including the target devices), and enter "255.255.255.0" as the subnet mask. The 192.168.0.101 shown below is an example.
For Mac Make TCP/IP settings for the computer as follows. 1. Click [System Preferences][Network]. The “Network” dialog box will be displayed. 2. Click the service that you want to connect to the device. If you're using the Ethernet port that's built into the Mac, click [Ethernet]. 3.
