10.DN9340E AND DN9344E REMOTE CONTROL SETUP

A slave network of up to 32 DN9340E/DN9344E units can be linked together and remotely controlled from a PC running the Elgar Library Manager and HELIX DN9340E or DN9344E RCS add-in software. Further details on these commercially available software applications can be found on the Klark Teknik website at www.klarkteknik.com.

10.1. Overview

To control an equaliser network, the laptop/PC running HELIX RCS is connected to the network in place of a Master DN9340E HELIX, assuming control of the daisy-chained HELIX units under pre-set slave addresses. The following options for connecting the laptop/PC to the HELIX unit(s) are available:

Ethernet: Covers direct Ethernet, Local Area Network (LAN) or wireless connection, converting to an RS-232 front panel input via a Lantronix UDS 100 Converter. Wireless offers increased flexibility during the event set-up, as the engineer can move around freely with a laptop and adjust the equalisation while listening to the end effect at any place in the venue.

Serial (option): The optional RS-232 serial connection is via the “PC PORT” on the front panel of the first HELIX unit. It is possible to connect other HELIX DN9340E/DN9344E units via the rear Ethernet port(s) when using a serial connection, but note that this will be slower that using Ethernet.

The following sections describe how to connect the master HELIX RCS laptop/PC to the system for each option, and the interconnectivity of the HELIX DN9340E/DN9344E units.

Note

If Solo Tracking input is required, the first slave HELIX must be a DN9340 and the front panel RS-232 PC Port must be used, see Page 44.

10.2. HELIX DN9340E/DN9344E unit interconnections

The HELIX DN9340E/DN9344E units in your system can be connected together in a daisy chain, or each one can be connected to an Ethernet switch or hub.

Note

When connecting the Ethernet cable to the rear panel of a HELIX DN9340E or DN9344E unit, either of the Ethernet sockets can be used.
