figure 59.5: Configure network controllers

figure 59.6: Add new, Delete and Copy to new icons

Use the Add new icon to add a network controller, see figure 59.6. Fill in the unique name and IP-address or host name of the network controller and a valid user name and password for that network controller. Use the Delete icon to delete the network controller from the list of network controllers. The Copy to new icon creates a new copy of the current network controller for subsequent editing.

59.5.4.2 Get Configuration

This item retrieves the relevant configuration data from the configured network controllers, such as the names of zones, messages, tones, inputs, etc. The progress of the data retrieval is shown. When the transfer is completed you can accept or reject the data. This data is needed for further configuration. A warning is shown if the tone set and message set are not the same on all network controllers because this will limit the choice of tones and messages for the connected clients, see section 59.5.4.4. This option is not available when working offline.

59.5.4.3 Configure Interconnections…

This item configures the interconnections between the different network controllers.

figure 59.8: Configure interconnections

These interconnections are the actual hardware connections for audio transfer between the systems, and are needed to transfer a call from one Praesideo subsystem to another. A connection is not necessarily between network controllers but uses a configured zone in one system as a source and an audio input in another system as a destination. Zones can be line outputs on e.g. a network controller or audio expander and inputs can be line inputs on such units interconnected via XLR cables, but it is also possible to use inputs and outputs of CobraNet interfaces, interconnected via Ethernet. It is not possible (and useful) to make interconnections between inputs and outputs within the same subsystem. Use the Add new and Delete icons to create new
