5 Software Operation using the Java Remote

The SDEC can be controlled and configured from any computer that has access to the network via Ethernet. All necessary features can be accessed and all system setup parameters can be viewed and adjusted using the JAVA remote but advanced features can only be accessed if using London Architect to configure the SDEC. You must use London Architect to access these additional settings. Functions that cannot be done through the Java Remote include saving backup copies of the calibrated file to your computer, saving backup copies to the network device, seeing a graphic representation of the EQ curve, creating multiple EQ presets for different modes and recalling different EQ presets.

5.1 Using the JAVA Remote

After connecting the hardware as outlined in Section 4 SDEC Hardware Connection, open the folder that contains the Java Remote panel. Once you have opened the folder double click on the correct file for your hardware you will be prompted to enter the IP Address that appears on the front of the SDEC display. Use the file with the same name as your hardware. The file will end in a .JAR extension. This stands for JaVa Remote.

5.1.1Speaker Setup Screen

Begin with the speaker setup screen and select the correct speaker for your installation. This only needs to be done the first time. In the future, or if you go offline and then re-connect the pull downs will NOT show what you have selected but the selections are still in memory.
