Advanced Configuration
If, however, you wish to operate them as two 3-tower Master/Slave groups, simply press the YES
button on the tower on which the Configuration Options display reads NET SLAVE 3. This will
cause all towers following this tower to be slaved to that tower. The YES button on the first tower
must also be pressed to slave towers 2 and 3 to the first tower. The reader and hard drive in the
NET Master towers of both groups can be used for duplication to the connected Slave towers.
The resulting Master/Slave configuration is shown below.
This can be done in any combination of towers. However, you must set the Master/Slave
configurations starting with the last master you want to set, following the tower chain from the end
to the beginning.
You do not need to disconnect any towers to change the Master/Slave configuration.
Net Reboot and Advanced Configuration
To run the Net Reboot, press either the ▲or ▼ button until the display reads SETUP. Press the
YES
button, then press either the ▲or ▼ button until the display reads NET REBOOT. Press
YES and all towers slaved to that Master will reboot. In the example above, the Net Reboot
would need to be run on both the Group A Master tower and the Group B Master tower for all 8
towers to reboot.
Stand-Alone Operation
For all towers in the chain to operate in Stand-Alone mode, the NO button must be pressed on
each tower to select Stand-Alone mode. The order in which this is done does not matter.
You can combine Stand-Alone and Advanced Configurations. After start-up in the example
above, pressing YES on NET SLAVE 4, NO on NET SLAVE 3, and YES on the NET MASTER
tower would create 3 groups: Group A with 3 towers, Group B as a single Stand-Alone tower, and
Group C with 2 towers.
Net Reboot and Stand-Alone Operation
When in Stand-Alone Operation, the Net Reboot option does not appear in the Setup menu.
Each tower will need to be power cycled manually.
Loading media
To automatically eject all empty recorder drives in all connected towers, simply load your master
disc and press the YES button when the display reads COPY START. This will eject all drives
that have not had media loaded. When all drives are loaded and the drive LEDs turn off,
duplication will automatically begin.
If you do not need to burn a copy in each recorder drive, load the number of drives necessary,
close those drives, and wait for the drive LEDs to turn off. Press the YES button, and any open
trays will automatically close but be considered empty.
