Alarms
Alarms may be enabled per channel for audio-loss and over-level. Alarms may be enabled per
channel pair for anti-phase and carrier-loss (AES/EBU inputs only). Thresholds and timeouts are
adjustable for each alarm type for both digital and analog bar types.
An alarm condition is provided in the form of flashing colored rectangles situated at the top of the
respective bargraphs. Refer to the On-screen alarms and phase indicators section for further
details.
Anti-phase alarm
The anti-phase alarm threshold can be set for any negative value or any value less than -0.5.
The later setting may be preferred to reduce unwanted anti-phase alarms, since most audio
signals may cause negative indications.
Resetting alarms
Alarm indication normally persists even though the underlying condition that triggered the alarm is
no longer present. To ensure that outdated alarms are removed, the Alarm Auto
Reset function forces all active alarms off after an adjustable period of time. Any alarm conditions
that are still present will then re-trigger the appropriate alarm.
Using ALARM-xx frames
Up to four LAN connected ALARM-xx frames may be assigned using the search facility in the
ALARMS-xx sub-menu.
Network Settings
These settings only need to be manually entered if DHCP is set to NO. This would be required for
a network that uses fixed IP addresses and does not rely on a DHCP server to allocate them
automatically. If DHCP is used, the settings are grayed out but should nevertheless be valid
provided the DHCP server has updated the frame. Identify is the MAC address or physical
address of the IP port; it is unique to the frame and cannot be changed.
Tip: The IP address must be unique on the network. Please see your system administrator if these details
are required.
