System Design

Message: Feedback detected in the control network.

Explanation: The potential exists for a control path to be indirectly looped back

upon itself. This condition could be dangerous, and is not allowed.

Message: Unit #__ has too many control connections.

Explanation: Although quite large, there is a limit to the quantity of control

connections within a single unit. Connections include both internal

(source and destination within same unit) and external links (source

or destination within this unit). Try moving certain control objects to

another unit (using

fixed allocations

),

Setting up the NEXIA units after a successful compilation

Messages: Available range of Instance IDs is nearly exhausted.

Range of Instance IDs has been exhausted.

Explanation: The total number of

Instance IDs

, as assigned to component and

line objects, is limited to 65,535. When component objects are

removed from a design, their Instance IDs are not automatically

re-assigned to new component objects. Therefore, the messages

above indicate that a significant number of Instance IDs has been

wasted. Set 'Reassign Instance IDs' under

Tools>Options>Compile

and re-compile to recover wasted Instance IDs. CAUTION: This

will change most component Instance IDs, and will render existing

external control command scripts useless (unless Instance ID Tags

have been used in lieu of Instance ID numbers).

Once Instance IDs

have been recovered, turn off 'Reassign Instance IDs' to avoid

further re-assignments.

System Network Considerations

Ethernet allows multiple NEXIA devices to be connected on a network, for system-wide
programming and control. Ethernet supports

Software User Interface

,

Remote Control Bus

, and

Third-Party Control

, but does not include sharing of digital audio signals via

NexLink

.
