Using a V-1200HDR Dedicated Controller

You can connect a V-1200HDR dedicated controller (optional) to the

LAN port and use it to operate the V-1200HD remotely.

Memo

For more information on how to use the V-1200HDR, refer to the

“V-1200HDR Owner’s Manual” and “V-1200HDR/V-1200HD RCS

Reference Manual” (PDF) available for download at the Roland

website.

Connect the V-1200HDR to the LAN port on the

V-1200HD.

Turn on the power to the V-1200HD.

Turn on the power to the V-1200HDR.

The LINK indicator on the V-1200HD lights up when

communication with the V-1200HDR is established.

* Communication is not established if the V-1200HD and the

V-1200HDR are connected after the power has been turned

on. If the connection has been made while in this state,

communication can be established by resetting the power on

just the V-1200HDR.

* Using an Ethernet switching hub, you can connect V-1200HDR

units and computers installed with V-1200HD RCS (up to two

devices in total) to the V-1200HD.

When connecting multiple V-1200HDR units or computers, each

controller must be assigned a different “CONTROL SURFACE ID”

setting. For information on how to make this setting, refer to

the “V-1200HDR/V-1200HD RCS Remote Control Guide” (PDF)

available for download at the Roland website.

* Use a Category 5e or higher shielded Ethernet cable for

connection. Crossover cables and straight cables are both

supported.

* Connect no devices other than the V-1200HD, V-1200HDR

units, and computers installed with V-1200HD RCS to the same

network.

Using V-1200HD RCS Dedicated Software

You can connect a computer on which the V-1200HD RCS

dedicated control software is installed up and use it to operate the

V-1200HD remotely.

Memo

For more information on how to use the V-1200HD RCS, refer to

the “V-1200HD Owner’s Manual” and “V-1200HDR/V-1200HD RCS

Reference Manual” (PDF) available for download at the Roland

website.

Start the computer on which the V-1200HD RCS is

installed.

Make the network settings on the computer.

* For information on how to make the network settings, refer to

the "V-1200HDR/V-1200HD RCS Remote Control Guide" (PDF)
available for download at the Roland website.

Connect the computer to the LAN port on the V-1200HD.

Turn on the power to the V-1200HD.

Start V-1200HD RCS.

The LINK indicator on the V-1200HD lights up when

communication with the computer is established.

* If you’re using a computer running Windows, then if the

Ethernet cable is disconnected and reconnected after

communication between the V-1200HD and V-1200HD RCS has

been established, communication might fail to be reestablished.

If this happens, you can establish communication while the

devices are connected by going to the computer’s network

settings and setting Local Area Connection to “Disable” and then

again to “Enable.”
