Select the key or lamp on the panel, and the information of the equipment under control in the function list
will be filtered in accordance with the control type. The filter type shall be as follows:
Wherein, the key, LED and others are required to be set separately;
If the key controls the default of other panels, there are 2 modes. One is additional, and the other is .
Additional default: to overlay the control functions in the new default, and the previous function shall be
maintained for control not set.
Overlaid default, to empty the panel settings, and then load the new default. The control not set in the new
default shall maintain the ex-factory state.
2.5.1 Key configuration
The following figure is the configuration function after key filtering:
After the key function is configured, click the "Link" in the "Panel Function List", and the corresponding
indicator lamp of the key can configure the related color instructions.
If the configuration of the indicator lamp is to be modified, the corresponding LED shall be selected in the
current configuration panel, to reconfigure the related functions, or just change the color.
2.5.2 Key LED configuration
The default setting of the corresponding indicator lamp of the key can be completed by clicking "Link" in
the "Panel Function List".
If the configuration of the indicator lamp is to be modified, the corresponding LED shall be selected in the
current configuration panel, to reconfigure the related functions, or just change the color.
The following figure is the function after LED filtering:
After the LED configuration is completed, as shown in the following figure, the indicator lamp shows green
when the input channel 1 is in the mute state, and shows red when in the non-mute state.
2.5.3 MIC configuration
MIC can only be configured by the corresponding MIC switch:

input channel 1;
Then configure the corresponding indicator lamp of the knob, select the corresponding indicator lamp,
and configure the electrical level of output channel 1
Then configure the MIC. First of all, associate the current panel and the matrix, select the key, expand
the sub-option of the panel, select the matrix, and specify the input channel. There are two MIC access
modes: with phantom power and without phantom power:
Double click the sub-option to be configured, to complete the configuration. Then click the "upload
configuration" in the tool bar, to upload the equipment configuration. The configuration uploaded is
"default 1". If it requires switching to other defaults, the key of this panel or other panels shall be used to
call the default.
Call default: configure two defaults for Panel 1 (172.16.83.1), and upload the configuration.
Then call the default of Panel 1 through Panel 2 (172.16.83.164):
Set Panel 2 (172.16.83.164) as the current configuration panel, and associate Panel 1. Call default 1
through KEY-1 and Call default 2 through KEY-2. In case of additional mode, when the default 2 is called,
the functions of both KEY-1 and KEY-2 are effective in any default.
In case of overwrite model, only KEY-1 function is effective in default 1 and only KEY-2 function is
effective in default 2.
The indicator lamp can only display the current default, and cannot display whether the default model
is additional or overwrite.
After the configuration is completed, click the "upload configuration" in the menu bar options, to
complete the configuration of Panel 2; press KEY1 of Panel 2 to switch Panel 1 to default 1; press KEY2 of

IV、Frequently Asked Questions
* What configurations shall be made when the system is used for the first time?
Answer: When this system is used for the first time, the following steps shall be followed:
(1) Read the instructions carefully, especially the safety precautions.
(2) The defaulted IP address in the factory is “192.168.10.10”. If there is no address of
“192.168.10.10” network segment in the PC, please add at least one address of this network segment in
the PC so that the device can be normally connected. The adding process is as follows (the following shows
the process adding IP in XP system):
Right click network computer ->Attribute->Local Connection-> Attribute ->Select Internet
protocol（TCP/IP）in “Series of item used of this connection”，click attribute ->advanced->Click “Add” in the
IP column->Input IP address such as “192.168.10.101”, sub-network mask “255.255.255.0”->Add->OK->OK;
(3) Plug in the POE network cable, for equipment testing: select the "search equipment" in the
system menu, and click the "search" button, to find out whether the equipment can be searched. If the
equipment cannot be searched, please contact us!
* There is no voice from MIC output?
Answer: (1) Check whether the MIC phantom power is correct or not.
(2) Check whether the input configuration of the panel MIC is correct or not.
(3) Check whether the "allow call" in the input source of the audio matrix is turned on or not.
(4) If the above is check without fault, please contact us!
