Channel activation buttons
are found below the Gain
switches. Here, Channels 1, 3,
and 4 have been made active
on the network.
In Auto Mode, each A‑Net Slot is unique. The Control Master manages the
availability of A‑Net Slots and will grant or deny a channel activation request
from an input module based on the current makeup of the network, the
sample rate, and the Slots already in use.
To activate a 6416i input channel within a given A‑Net Slot range, press its
numbered a
CtivE
button. (Note that the word “Active” does not appear on
the front panel user interface.) If the Slot is available, the Control Master
will enable the Slot and the channel’s green LED will light. If the Slot is not
available, the LED will flash briefly, indicating that the requested Slot is in use
elsewhere in the network.
In Manual Mode, a channel can be activated at any time. Depending on how
the network is set up and configured, activating a channel can replace a
channel that was added to the network elsewhere.
Channel Activation Rules
It is not necessary to press the E
ntEr
button to activate or deactivate a
channel.
Each Pro64 module remembers a unique set of active channels for Auto and
Manual Modes. For example, an input module could have channels 1‑8 active
for an Auto Mode application and channels 5‑6 and 12‑16 active for a Manual
Mode application. Changing network modes will restore the active channel
status for each connected module.
Changing the A‑Net Slot range will clear the currently active channels on an
input module automatically to protect against channel/Slot conflicts a or
unintentional overwriting.
Level Meter LEDs
Each audio input channel on the 6416i Input Module has its own set of level
LEDs—green, yellow, and red. Green indicates signal present; it turns on
