Setting Control Master Status
Setting a device to be the Control Master is done using the DIP switches
found on the rear panel. The Control Master switch is part of the Virtual Data
Cable port section of the interface.
Switch 10 in the RS-232 configuration group is used to set the Control Master
status for a module.
In the VDC section, locate the 10‑position DIP switch in the RS‑232 area of the
rear panel. Switch #10 will set a module to be the Control Master for an audio
network when the switch is in the On (up) position (the up position is shown
in black in the diagram above).
Control Master Functions
This section describes the individual functions that the designated Control
Master device in a Pro64 network controls.
Enumeration
When the Control Master is powered on, its first job is to identify and count
all connected A‑Net modules in the network in a process called enumeration,
similar to a PC booting up and loading its operating system. The time for this
process will vary based upon the number of modules in a system.
Enumeration is an automated process performed by the command and control
portion of the system. There are no user‑controllable functions or settings.
