Proel PRONET v.2.1 - Manual (Page 19)

To work properly in a PRONET network each connected device must have a unique Identifier Number called
ID: by default the PC master controller has ID=0 and there can be only one master controller in a network.
Any other device connected must have its own unique ID equal or greater than 1 and two devices with the
same ID cannot exist in a network.
To correctly assign a new available ID to all devices in a PRONET network follow these steps:
1. power-off all devices;
2. plug them correctly with networking cables;
3. "TERMINATE" last device in the network connection;
4. go to the first device in the network connection;
5. power-on the device while pushing the "Assign ID" button (see "Assign ID");
6. go to the next device in the network and repeat previous operation (from steps 5);
This operation ensures that every device has its own unique ID: if you need to add a new device to the
network you simply repeat the operation at the step 5.
Every device maintains its ID also when it is turned-off, because the identifier is stored in the internal
memory and it is cleared only by another "Assign ID" step, as explained below.
Note 1:if you add a new device as the last device in a PRONET network you have to re-assign correctly the
termination.
Note 2: In a PRONET network the IDs don't need to be sequential, they only must be unique. An example of
this is when you remove or power-off a device correctly assigned and already working into a network: in this
case there is a gap in the IDs sequence but this isn't a problem. Another example is when you add to an
existing PRONET network a new device with the ID already assigned but different from any other already
assigned in the network: again, this is not a problem.
You can also work without a PC master controller and connect a subsystem of active loudspeakers (satellites
or subwoofers): in this kind of network, when you change a preset in a device you also change the same
preset in each connected device of the same type (the same model). Furthermore, when you change the
polarity (phase option) in a subwoofer you also change the same parameter in all the connected subwoofers
(of the same type).
4.2 Assigning ID
The "Assign ID" procedure for a device makes the internal network controller to perform two operations:
1. reset the current ID;
2. search the first free ID in the network, starting from ID=1.
If no other devices are connected (and powered on, of course), the controller assume ID=1, that is the first
free ID, otherwise it searches the next one left free.
To activate the "Assign ID" procedure there is a combination of "Power-ON" and keep pressed a button:
Processor: power-on keeping pressed the "RTA" button;
Active loudspeaker: power-on keeping pressed the "Preset" button;
