Setting Up the Tuner for NuVoNet

The T2 must be set for one of the Concerto source inputs 1-6. This can be done at the front panel when the tuner is first turned on, in the T2 Configurator software, or through the front panel advanced menu. The best way to utilize the T2 with NuVoNet is to set up the T2 options in the included Configurator software, and then download the configuration through the rear-panel USB port, using the supplied USB cable, fig. 20.

Making Sure Your Concerto Is Ready for NuVoNet Use

Your Concerto System must be updated with at least software version 1.40 for proper NuVoNet communication with the T2. To check what Configurator version you currently have, open the Concerto Configurator software on your computer by double-clicking on the Configurator icon on the desktop. You will see a splash screen appear before the software opens. This lists the current software version. If you do not have version 1.40 or later, go to www.nuvotechnologies.com/prozone. There you can log onto the Download page and download the latest version.

When this is done, open the applicable configuration from your configuration files or retrieve the configuration from the Concerto main unit. Once the appropriate configuration is opened, go to the Source tab and place the T2 IR library in the appropriate source locations 1-6. Once you have added the T2 as two of the Concerto sources, you can then download the configuration to the Concerto through the USB port or the RS232 port on the back of the Concerto, fig, 21. When the download is complete, your system is ready for NuVoNet Communication.

Making the Connection

Prior to connecting to NuVoNet, the Concerto must have the correct Configuration version downloaded with the T2 representing two of the audio sources.

Making the NuVoNet connection is done simply by connecting the “NuVoNet” output on the T2 to one of the “Peripheral Device” inputs on the Concerto EZ Port, fig., 22. This connection will then enable bi- directional NuVoNet communication with the Display Pads.
