Nuvo NV-I8GMS, NV-I8GXS manual X. Using the Grand Concerto Configurator Software, Main Startup

IX. Expanding Grand Concerto to 16 Zones (fig. 8)

Eight additional listening zones can be added to the Grand Concerto System using the Grand Concerto Expander package. The expansion is easily done using the Source Link and Digital Link multi-pin outputs on the Grand Concerto main amplifier (NV-I8DMS).

The necessary cables for this are supplied with the Expander package. No other connections are necessary except the AC power cord and the additional speaker terminations. The additional Cat-5 wires for the zones 9-16 plug into the Grand Concerto main EZ Port.

X. Using the Grand Concerto Configurator Software

1. Main Startup

The following section requires the NV-I8DLS IR Learning Station and Configurator Software. This is available as a package from NuVo Technologies or any Authorized NuVo Distributor. The Configurator software is a PC program designed to run with Windows 2000, XP, and XP Pro.

1. Main Startup

The Configurator is a tabbed Wizard-style interface designed to sequentially walk the installer through the system setup. When the program is launched, the Start tab is highlighted. This gives three choices for beginning a configuration. You can create a new file, open an existing file, or retrieve an existing file from a configured Grand Concerto System. Once configured, the finished program loaded into the Grand Concerto main amplifier can always be retrieved via the RS232 port and edited.

Once a configuration file has been opened, you can then click on the next button to continue. The Configurator will not let you continue beyond Start without either creating a new file or opening an existing file. It will also prevent moving forward through any of the tabs until the necessary information is completed in any one of the tabs.
