Audia Quick Start
Connecting to a networked system using Audia with CobraNet
1. Install Audia software on a Windows
PC must have a 10/100baseT NIC.
2. Design and Layout system
Launch Audia software. Layout signal flow and DSP as desired. Save layout file (.dap).
®
XP Professional/Vista PC
®
3. Compile Layout
Compile will display number and type of Audia devices required as well as DSP power used.
If compilation cannot find a solution, user intervention may be necessary. Check
for feedback loops, appropriate I/O, appropriate number of units, appropriate
number of CobraNet bundles.
4. Power up Audia devices
Connect supplied power cord to a grounded AC mains voltage of 100-240VAC @50/60Hz.
Connect other end of power cord to power entrance located on the rear of Audia unit. Note status
of front panel LED’s. Under normal conditions, all LED’s will remain green once power-up
sequence has completed.
5. Assign IP address to PC
PC must have a unique IP address before it can communicate with an Audia device.
Right Click My Network>Properties>Local Area Connection>Right Click
Properties>TCP/IP>Properties
IP address should be 192.168.1.x (x=1-254)
Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0
Click Ok when complete
Close My Network
6. Connect PC to network
Attach a “straight-through” Ethernet cable from PC 10/100baseT network card to a 10/100baseT
Ethernet switch. “Straight-through” Ethernet cables connect transmit pins directly to receive pins
(pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin2, pin 3 to pin3, etc.). You can easily determine if an Ethernet cable is
“straight-through” by looking at the conductors on the RJ-45 connectors. If the wiring is
identical on both ends, it is a “straight through”
Ethernet cable.
7. Connect Audia device to network
Connect one Audia device to network using “straight through” Ethernet cable attached from the
rear panel Ethernet jack to the 10/100baseT Ethernet switch.
8. Connect to network with Audia software
Open Audia software then connect to network.
File>Network>Connect to network
Close when complete
9. Assign IP address to Audia device
All Audia units ship from the factory with an assigned IP address of 192.168.1.101. When using
more than one device in a system, each device must have a unique IP address. Audia device IP
addresses must be different from any PC IP address that will be used in this system.
File>Network>Perform Audia Device Maintenance>Select desired Audia device>Set IP address
IP address should be 192.168.1.x (x=1-254)
Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0
Default gateway should be 0.0.0.0
Click Ok when complete
Close Device Maintenance when complete
Note: To avoid conflict issues that occur when connecting multiple Audia devices with the same
IP number, be sure to only connect one Audia device at a time to the Ethernet switch when
assigning IP addresses.
10. Repeat steps 6-8 until all Audia devices in system have been connected to network
and assigned a unique IP address.
11. Connect CobraNet
For multi-unit systems, “straight-through” Ethernet cables must be connected from the
rear panel CobraNet jack of each unit to a 10/100baseT Ethernet switch.
12. Open layout (.dap) file
File>Open>Select file
13. Enter appropriate Audia unit serial numbers to equipment table
Tools>Equipment table>Select desired Audia unit(s)
Select OK when complete
14. Send Configuration
File>Network>Send System Configuration
Sends layout configuration to selected Audia unit(s).
15. Start Audio
16. Adjust component parameters as needed
Optional:
17. Disconnect PC from Audia system
File>Network>Disconnect from Audia system
18. Disconnect PC from Network
File>Network>Disconnect from network
Connecting to stand alone unit using Audia without CobraNet (AudiaSOLO)
1. Install Audia software on a Windows
®
2000/XP Professional PC
PC must have a 10/100baseT NIC.
2. Design and Layout system
Launch Audia software. Layout signal flow and DSP as desired. Save layout file (.dap).
3. Compile Layout
Compile will display type of Audia device required as well as DSP power used.
If compilation cannot find a solution, user intervention may be necessary. Check
for feedback loops, appropriate I/O, appropriate number of units (only 1 unit possible in
stand alone system).
4. Power up
Connect supplied power cord to a grounded AC mains voltage of 100-240VAC @50/60Hz.
Connect other end of power cord to power entrance located on the rear of Audia unit. Note status
of front panel LED’s. Under normal conditions, all LED’s will remain green once power-up
sequence has completed.
5. Assign IP address to PC
PC must have a unique IP address before it can communicate with an Audia device.
Right Click My Network>Properties>Local Area Connection>Right Click
Properties>TCP/IP>Properties
IP address should be 192.168.1.x (x=1-254)
Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0
Click Ok when complete
Close My Network
6. Connect PC to Audia unit
Connect “cross-over” Ethernet cable (supplied with unit) from PC 10/100baseT
Ethernet card to Ethernet jack located on rear panel of Audia unit. “Cross-over” Ethernet
cables have their pins swapped (pin 1 to pin 3, pin 2 to pin 6, pin3 to pin1) and can
easily be identified by looking at the conductors on the RJ-45 connectors. If the wiring is
different at each end, it is a “cross-over” cable.
7. Connect to Audia unit with Audia software
Open Audia software then connect to unit.
File>Network>Connect to network
Close when complete
8. Open layout (.dap) file
File>Open>Select file
9. Enter appropriate Audia unit serial to equipment table
Tools>Equipment table>Select desired Audia unit
Select OK when complete
10. Send Configuration
File>Network>Send System Configuration
Sends layout configuration to selected Audia unit.
11. Start Audio
12. Adjust component parameters as needed
Optional:
