Linking Software Icons with Networked Loudspeakers
To connect to a RHAON / CobraNet loudspeaker network, you first make all the physical connections. For examples of RHAON / Co-
braNet networks, see Appendix 1. A typical amplifier input panel is shown on page 53 in Appendix 1.
Remember: before connecting your computer running RHAON software to the network, you should have assigned a static IP address to
your computer. If you’ve done that, connect the computer to your RHAON network and click on the Scan Network icon. RHAON software
will find all networked loudspeakers and any other CobraNet devices on the network and automatically assign them IP addresses if they
don’t already have one.
RHAON will then list them under Network in the directory tree. Note that you did not have to first create virtual loudspeakers. RHAON
found the actual loudspeakers.
If RHAON can’t find any CobraNet devices on the net-
work, the prompt shown to the right will appear to let
you know that something is wrong and to offer trouble
shooting hints. For more detailed trouble shooting
instructions please refer to page 66.
The next step is to drag each loudspeaker’s directory
listing into the work space. This will create an icon for
it. If you created virtual loudspeakers before scan-
ning the network, drag each individual listing from the
Network folder into the main work space and drop it
on the appropriate icon.
When you link a networked loudspeaker with a soft-
ware icon, RHAON interrogates the loudspeaker to
make sure the DSP settings stored on your computer
are synchronized with (are the same as) those in
the loudspeaker’s onboard memory. If they are not,
RHAON displays a prompt that allows you to choose
which settings to use.
To upload settings from your computer to the
loudspeaker, click on Overwrite Settings on DSP. To
download settings from the loudspeaker and copy
them into computer memory, click on Read Settings
from the DSP.
If you were linking an existing project on your com-
puter into an existing network, the dialog box shown
to the right will appear and you will need to decide
which settings you want to use, the ones stored in
your project file or the ones present in the loudspeak-
ers.
