Audio input/output configuration is managed through the [Galileo Unit] > Settings > Input and Output page. Detailed instructions are provided in Configuring Audio Inputs and Outputs (p. 28).

Network configuration is managed through the Galileos page. Find Galileos will, in most situations, auto-discover network-connected Galileo 616 units. Detailed instructions are provided in Running Compass with Galileo (p. 6).

2. Label Galileos, Inputs, and Outputs

Although most Galileo installations are relatively simple, it is still important to provide useful names for the Galileos and their input and output channels. Naming helps reduce errors and speeds the design process.

Galileo naming can be done through the Galileos page: simply select the Galileo Nickname and type a new name. The tab name will be automatically updated to match the nickname; when the tab name is too long, you may wish to select it and type a new, shorter tab name.

Please keep in mind that the front panel display on Galileo units can display about a dozen letters in a channel name, and only alphanumeric characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9. If users will be managing the Galileo using its front panel, make sure the most important information is at the start of the name.

Channel naming can be done through the [Galileo Unit] > Galileo Map page. Select the Label and type a new name for the channel. The new name will be used on all other pages automatically.

In addition to providing names for the Compass interface it is also useful and wise to label the signal cables themselves. Should it be necessary to replace a Galileo unit, or if someone disconnects the cables, correct reconnection is simple when the Galileo ID and channel ID are attached to the cable end.

3. Routing

After labeling you will probably want to route inputs to outputs so that you can begin setting gains and processing values while auditing the signal aurally and/or through a SIM3 analyzer. Routing is done through the [Galileo Unit] > Summing Matrix page.
