16 IDR-8 User Guide
Starting Offline with iDR System Manager Software
You need to install the iDR System Manager software on your
PC. This requires Windows™ 95, 98, NT, ME, 2K or XP. We
recommend that you check the Allen & Heath web site for the
latest version. We are continually updating our software to add
new features or make improvements. Download the latest
version from our web site.
IMPORTANT: Do not install this software over a
previous version. The setup utility will install the iDR System
Manager into its own directory so that previous versions can be
retained. A previous version can be uninstalled using the
Windows™ Control Panel Add/Remove Programs application.
Run the self-extracting .exe file to install the software. Follow
the on-screen instructions. Make sure you read the Release
Notes before running the program. These may contain
important information about the new software version.
Start the iDR System Manager from the Start / Programs / Allen
& Heath menu. To open a new session click on the blue icon,
press Ctrl+N, or open the New item in the File menu. Select
“Offline iDR-8” to start an offline session to get familiar with the
program before you connect the iDR-8 unit. Use the Help
menu to learn more about how the software works. You can
archive your settings to load into the iDR-8 later.
Turning the iDR-8 On and Off
Make sure you have read the Important Safety
Instructions printed earlier. Also check that your local
mains supply is compatible with that printed on the rear
panel of the iDR-8. Ensure that the correct mains lead with
moulded plug and IEC connector has been supplied.
To avoid any unexpected audible clicks or thumps
always turn connected power amplifiers down or off before
switching the iDR-8 or any other signal equipment on or off.
Turn the unit on by pressing the rear panel power ON/OFF
switch. The LCD display lights up and the message ‘Please
wait…’ is displayed while the processor boots up. This is
followed by a ‘Recall..’ message if a power-up patch is active.
Finally, the normal display is shown.
Note that ‘normal’ display and control settings depend on the
last configuration loaded and whether a power-up patch has
been set.
Boot up time
is normally around 10 seconds. However,
this can be up to 35 seconds if the front panel menu *5.1
DHCP Setup has been set to YES and the unit is not connected
to a DHCP network.
Parameters restored on power-up
The iDR-8
remembers its unit name and address settings on power up.
The clock is always running so the correct time and day is
retained. Configuration related parameters such as channel
names, stereo linking and scheduled events are restored.
Patch related parameters such as levels, EQ and soft control
settings are recalled only if a power-up patch containing them
has been set. If not, then all patch related parameters are reset
according to factory default. Further details are provided in the
section about Patches later in this user guide, and in the iDR
System Manager Help file.
