NetBridge (option)

NetBridge is a 2U rack mounting unit.

The NetBridge provides two main features. Firstly (as the name suggests) it is abridge between the proprietary Solid State Logic network, and the standard TCP/IP protocol, allowing remote diagnostic connection over the Internet.Up to 7 diagnostic ports may be served by a single NetBridge unit, with secure log-in facilities enabling trained staff or SSL engineers to access diagnostic functions remotely from any location worldwide.

Note: Do not combine the SSL Network and the facility’s TCP/IP network; they are different protocols.

Secondly it can be used to transfer data files between the C10 consoleto whichit is dedicated and the ‘SSL-Network’ centralfile server (CFS).This allows C100 session templates (used for offline configuration) and project archives to be moved acrossthe Internet without requiring access to the console’s CPU.

Using the secure login access provided by NetBridge, users may upload a console template to a secure website, edit the configuration offline and then reload their profile prior to the production saving valuable set up time. Parameters av ailable fo r offline co nfiguration include f ader strip allocations, ch annel names and type, bus routing assignments, processing order, output options and fader grouping setup.

NetBridge requires access to the f acility’s internet service. To do this, an Ethernet connection will be required. The Net Bridge will also n eed permis sion t o acc ess the SSL Networ k secure server; th is may req uire the configuration of any firewall software that may be in use. (See page 39 for further information.)

NetBridge does not have dual power supplies as it is not critical to console operation.

Note: NetBridge is not fitted with an auto-ranging power supply and the input setting must be c onfirmed before applying power. The voltage select switch is located on the rear of the PSU unit, see opposite for switch location. To change the setting:

1.Switch off and remove the IEC lead.

2.Using a small flat-bladed screwdriver, slide the select switch so that the appropriate voltage is indicated.
