If the message ERR appears in the MultiRack SoundGrid status window at any point after
MultiRack SoundGrid has loaded, take the following steps to inspect all settings and system
components:
SoundGrid Preferences
1. Go to the Preferences window
PC: File > Preferences
Mac: MultiRack SoundGrid > Preferences
• If you see the SoundGrid network NOT found message, and Local L AN Por t is set
to None, open the dropdown menu and set it to the LAN port connected to your
SoundGrid network.
Page 10

• If you see the SoundGrid network NOT found message, and Local LAN Port is
already set to the LAN port connected to your SoundGrid network, check the
following:
• If Link Status is UP and Link Speed is 1000 Mbps, this means that the I/O and the
SoundGrid server are disconn ected.
• If Link Status is DOWN and Link Speed is N/A, this may be for one of the following
reasons:
• The switch is turned off or not compatible –
Compatible Switches.
• The Ethernet cable is disconnected or defective on the console (host) computer.
• Some or all cables may be too long o r not compatible –
Ethernet Cables for SoundGrid Systems.
If the SoundGr id Preferences ar e set correctl y and th e issue persists, check the SoundGrid
Inventory window next.

IO: A&H
Sample Rate
If the sam ple rate appears as N/A, this may be for the following reasons:
• IO: A&H is not assigned.
• If IO: A&H is assigned but appears as N/A, the card is not inserted in the slot properly.
To resolve this issue, take one of the following steps:
• If the IO: A&H Status is On, assign the device. It should be functional now.
• If the IO: A&H Status is NOT On, unassign IO: A&H and click Refresh.
• If the IO: A&H appears as Not Compatible, click Update. Once the firmware update is
complete, you wi ll be prompted to turn off the console.
If IO: A&H has disappeared from the list, this may be for one of the following reasons:
• Ethernet cable is disconnected from I/O or switch.
• Ethernet ca ble is disconnected from host or switch.
• Ethernet cable is defective.
• Network switch is turned off.
• Network switch is not compatible (switch does not have 1GB connection):
to Appendix B: SoundGrid-Compatible Switches.
• Ethernet cable is not compatible (not Cat 5e or Cat 6).
• Ethernet cables are too long:

SoundGrid Servers
Once you’ve confirmed that the I/O is functioning properly and is not the cause of the problem,
check the SoundGrid server/s:
1. If SG Server Status is On, assign the device. It should be functional now.
2. If the SG Se rver Status is N/A, unassig n it and press Refresh.
3. If SG Server appears as Not Compatible, press Update. Once the firmware update is
complete, the server will automatically restart and the S erver Status will be On. Next,
assign SG Server to 1. If a second redundant server is in use, repeat the same update
process, and upon completion assign the redundant server to 2.
If the SoundGrid server has disappeared from the list, this may be for the following reasons:
• Server is OFF.
• Ethernet cable is disconnected from server or switch.
• Ethernet cable is disconnected from host or switch. (Hint: in this case the I/O status will
appear as N/A.)
• Ethernet cable is defective.
• Network switch is turned off.
• Network switch is not compati ble (switch does not have 1GB connection):
Appendix B: SoundGrid-Compatible Switches.
• Ethernet cable is not compatible (not Cat 5e or Cat 6).
• Ethernet cables are too long:
Systems.
If the SoundGrid server changes status from On to N/A upon assignment, this means that

folders.
Caches
When you load MultiRack SoundGrid for the first time, the application scans the system and
creates cache files for the plugins. Cache files are creat ed only when Mult iR ack SoundGrid is
loading and licen ses are being recogniz ed. Since the files are created “on the fly,” loading time is
longer when MultiRack SoundGrid loads and recognizes new licenses for the first time.
All instal l ed plugins will app ear in the plugin list r egardless of the licenses recogn ized by the
system. There is a difference between loading and instantiating a plugin. When trying to
“instantiate” an unlicensed plugin within a session, the system will issue an authorization prompt.
This may happen, for instance, when you add a plugin to a rack or open a session.

A 1GB switch is required due to the amount of information flowing between the I/O and the
servers. Insufficient link speed of various components wi l l result in missing or N/A listings within
the Inventory window. You can determine the l i nk speed by looking at t he in dicators on the
switch itself. There are indications on the Ethernet ports as well.

Rescan Present Licenses
When you prep are a session and are routing without licenses, the plug in does not process audio,
but you can sti l l assign inserts and FX and load the plugin.
To enable a disabled plugin:
• Connect your USB flash drive (V9).
• Go to the Edit menu and click on “R escan Present Licenses.” All disabled plugins will be
enabled.
• You can re-enable plugins individually by right-clicking on any di sa bl ed plugin and
choosing the Enable option from the menu.
Inventor y Window
The Inventory window lists all of the SoundGrid components on your network and lets you select,
assign, and update the devices you are using. The “Device” column lists all available
components: I/O card, MultiRack (the processing device) and SG Servers (MultiRack’s
processing engine).
Please remember: A devic e is not usable until it is assigned. Devices may be listed in the
inventory window even if they are not connected or recognized. (Previously connected and
assigned information is saved to a preference file).
It is important to pay attention to the “Status” column. There are four possible modes:
1. On: Connected and available to be assigned.
2. In Use: A different MultiRack SoundG rid or driver is connected to the same network and is
controlling this device. The current instance of MultiRack SoundGrid will not be able to use
this parti cular device.
3. N/A: The dev i ce was originally assigned but is cur r ently disconnected or unrecognized.
4. Incompatible: The I/O or server firmware version does not match the version of MRSG
installed. In such a case, click the “Update” button on the same device line.

Sample Rate: This field disp lays the sample rate. MultiRack SoundGrid is slaved to the
console’s sample rate at all times, and this field cannot be edited. Sample rate inf or m ation is
derived through t he M-Waves I/O. If the I/O is faulty, disconnected, unrecognized, or unassigned,
the Sample Rate field will display N/A.
Network Latency: The network latency value (40, 56, 80 or 96) sets the buf fering delay us ed by
the processing SoundGrid server. For correct latency setting per server,
qualified servers in Appendix A : Servers.
Plugins can introduce or add latency to the overall system latency. A plugin l at ency chart can be
viewed in Appendix E: Compatible Plugins & Lat ency Chart.

A Note on Using Joints (Cable Exten ders)
Joints or cable ex tenders should be used with care, as some models do not have electrically
connected shielding, and us ing these might cau se pr oblems in areas with interferen ce.
Total cable length, including the joint, may not exceed the above maximal cable length per node.
Note: We have tested the above cables with only one joint per line. More joints can possibly be
used, but this scenario has not been tested.
