Ivie iFlex 2400 Series - Manual (Page 26)

All iFlex TM mixers require a context file to operate, but if the mixer also
contains a layout file, the mixer is designated as a ‘master’ mixer.
Master mixers by definition contain the Sonata TM layout file that generated
each of the contexts for every mixer in the system. This layout file is
automatically downloaded to the Sonata TM application running on the PC
when a connection is made to the master mixer.
Any mixer that does not contain a layout file is designated as a ‘slave’
mixer in the system. If a connection is made to a mixer that is designated
as a ‘slave’ mixer, the Sonata TM layout file currently on the layout screen
will be uploaded into the mixer, and the mixer will change it’s designation
to ‘master’.
To connect to a mixer, left-click on the ‘connect’ icon on the main toolbar.
The connect dialog box will appear.
The upper-left window displays any iFlex TM mixers found by the network,
as well as associated mixers not found. The mixer information includes
the serial number, firmware revision, master/slave/unused status, and
association status. The upper-right window displays the mixers found in
the current software layout file that aren’t associated. The lower-middle
window provides status information on actions performed while in the
connect dialog.
