Advanced Configuration

If, however, you wish to operate them as two 3-tower Master/Slave groups, simply press the YES button on the tower on which the Configuration Options display reads NET SLAVE 3. This will cause all towers following this tower to be slaved to that tower. The YES button on the first tower must also be pressed to slave towers 2 and 3 to the first tower. The reader and hard drive in the NET Master towers of both groups can be used for duplication to the connected Slave towers. The resulting Master/Slave configuration is shown below.

NET	NET	NET
Master	Slave 1	Slave 2

Group A

NET

Master

NET	NET
Slave 1	Slave 2

Group B

This can be done in any combination of towers. However, you must set the Master/Slave configurations starting with the last master you want to set, following the tower chain from the end to the beginning.

You do not need to disconnect any towers to change the Master/Slave configuration.

Net Reboot and Advanced Configuration

To run the Net Reboot, press either the ▲or ▼ button until the display reads SETUP. Press the YES button, then press either the ▲or ▼ button until the display reads NET REBOOT. Press YES and all towers slaved to that Master will reboot. In the example above, the Net Reboot would need to be run on both the Group A Master tower and the Group B Master tower for all 8 towers to reboot.

Stand-Alone Operation

For all towers in the chain to operate in Stand-Alone mode, the NO button must be pressed on each tower to select Stand-Alone mode. The order in which this is done does not matter.

You can combine Stand-Alone and Advanced Configurations. After start-up in the example above, pressing YES on NET SLAVE 4, NO on NET SLAVE 3, and YES on the NET MASTER tower would create 3 groups: Group A with 3 towers, Group B as a single Stand-Alone tower, and Group C with 2 towers.

Net Reboot and Stand-Alone Operation

When in Stand-Alone Operation, the Net Reboot option does not appear in the Setup menu. Each tower will need to be power cycled manually.

Loading media

To automatically eject all empty recorder drives in all connected towers, simply load your master disc and press the YES button when the display reads COPY START. This will eject all drives that have not had media loaded. When all drives are loaded and the drive LEDs turn off, duplication will automatically begin.

If you do not need to burn a copy in each recorder drive, load the number of drives necessary, close those drives, and wait for the drive LEDs to turn off. Press the YES button, and any open trays will automatically close but be considered empty.
