Compex Systems AP4530 manual Starting Offline with iDR System Manager Software

Starting Offline with iDR System Manager Software

You need to install the iDR System Manager software on your PC. This requires Windows™ 95, 98, NT, ME, 2K or XP. Although the software comes with the resource CD provided we recommend that you check the Allen & Heath web site for the latest version. We are continually updating our software to add new features or make improvements. Download the web version if it is more recent than the CD.

IMPORTANT: Do not install this software over a previous version. The setup utility will install the iDR System Manager into its own directory so that previous versions can be retained. A previous version can be uninstalled using the Windows™ Control Panel Add/Remove Programs application.

Run the self-extracting .exe file to install the software. Follow the on-screen instructions. Make sure you read the Release Notes before running the program. These may contain important information about the new software version.

Start the iDR System Manager from the Start / Programs / Allen

&Heath menu. To open a new session click on the blue icon, press Ctrl+N, or open the New item in the File menu. Select the Offline button to start an offline session to get familiar with the program before you connect the iDR-8unit. Use the Help menu to learn more about how the software works. You can archive your settings to load into the iDR-8later.

IMPORTANT: The iDR does not recall its last settings on power up. It initialises to reset state or recalls a ‘power up’ patch if one has been set. Read here >>>>>>>>>

Turn the unit on by pressing the rear panel power ON/OFF switch. The LCD display lights up and the message ‘Please wait…’ is displayed while the processor boots up. This is followed by a ‘Recall..’ message if a power-up patch is active. Finally, the normal display is shown.

Note that ‘normal’ display and control settings depend on the last configuration loaded and whether a power-up patch has been set.

Boot up time is normally around 10 seconds. However, this can be up to 35 seconds if the front panel menu *5.1 DHCP Setup has been set to YES and the unit is not connected to the network.

Parameters restored on power-up The iDR-8

remembers its unit name and address settings on power up. The clock is always running so the correct time and day is shown. Configuration related parameters such as channel names, stereo linking and scheduled events are restored. Patch related parameters such as levels, EQ and soft control settings are recalled only if a power-up patch containing them has been set. If not, then all patch related parameters are reset according to factory default. Further details are provided in the section about Patches later in this user guide, and in the iDR System Manager Help file.
