M.1k2 Hardware Guide - Version 1.3 CHAPTER 1: Overview CHAPTER 1: Overview Introduction The M.1K2 is a 16 port MADI Routing System. It provides routing of whole ports down to single channel level offering a 1024 by 1024 crosspoint matrix. You can distribute MADI signals en bloc in a port matrix and you may also create your own MADI stream using the channel matrix. PolySync™ provides the ability to use different clock sources on individual ports. So the router may be divided into single ‘clock groups’ that can run at different sample rates. Port redundancy may be applied to have a spare signal that will be used when an input signal breaks. Two extra matrices may route serial data and MIDI data - that is embedded into the MADI signal - independently from the audio signal. Doppelganger (Device Mirroring) allows one (or more) M.1K2s to be confi gured to act as a slave to one master device. All confi guration data (crosspoints, port confi guration, labels etc.) is synchronized continuously. SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol (v1/v2) allows for monitoring of essential device information such as power supply state; temperature; MADI signal/synchronization state. More features such as I/O labelling, snapshot and user management offer the chance to personalize your setup all-embracing.

M.1k2 Hardware Guide - Version 1.3 CHAPTER 4: Operation The green LEDs (PSU 1 & PSU 2) indicate that a working power supply is connected to the power supply unit. Note that an unlit LED does not guarantee that the device is free of voltage. To ensure that the device is completely disconnected from mains voltage, the power chords must be disconnected. CHAPTER 4: Operation Introduction This chapter describes the basic operation of the device. Global Control The control on the right of the front panel indicates the power supply. Power switches are on the back panel: PSU 1 & PSU 2 (rear) 2 Switches Enable / disable power supply. PSU 1 & PSU 2 (rear) C13 socket Connect the power supply here (84 - 264 V AC). PSU 1 & PSU 2 (front) 2 LEDs (green): indicate the status of both power supply units LED OFF = Power supply inactive LED ON = Power supply active LED blinking 4 times per second = The power supply was active, and is now inactive. Whether this is a fault state depends on the circumstances. If both PSU LEDs are blinking and the fan is blowing at full speed, the FPGA is being programmed. This only happens during reboot after an update. NOTE!

M.1k2 Hardware Guide - Version 1.3 CHAPTER 4: Operation Device State & RESET As most of the system information is available in the GUI (or a telnet shell) only, the basic system state is indicated by the led ‘STATE’. If the device can’t be reached via network an emergency recovery may be executed using the RESET button. See „Appendix A - Emergency recovery“ on page 26. STATE LED (green) indicates current system state. LED ON = controller is idle (normal operation) LED “heartbeat” = controller is idle (normal operation) LED blinking once per second = factory default network setting is active LED blinking 4 times per second = unsaved confi guration data, device will return to idle state after saving to the fl ash memory.

M.1k2 Hardware Guide - Version 1.3 Appendix A - Emergency recovery Appendix A - Emergency recovery There is one static network confi guration which you cannot modify, it is called ‘Factory preset’. If you somehow managed to create a dysfunctional set of network settings or cannot reach the device for other reasons, you can always return to the factory preset via the front panel. Procedure: Press the RESET button on the front panel for about 5 seconds. As soon as you press the button, it will start fl ashing rapidly. When it stops fl ashing, the factory preset has been activated. You can then access the device via the initial IP address (10.0.0.24). The LED STATE indicates the operating condition: LED Operating Condition Constant on The controller is idle (normal operation). Heartbeat The controller is idle (normal operation). Blinking once per second The factory default network settings are active. This state should only be active when confi guring the device for the fi rst time, or after the RESET button has been pressed. You can confi gure the network in ‘Confi guration- Device-Network’ settings. Blinking 4 times per second There is unsaved confi guration data. After the changes have been written safely to the fl ash memory, the state LED returns to the idle state. NOTE! This procedure will only reset the IP confi guration. All other device settings (e.g. routing, channel labels, clocking, ...) will remain unchanged.

M.1k2 Hardware Guide - Version 1.3 Appendix D - How to - Network Appendix D - How to - Network The following guide aims to familiarize with basic information to setup a TCP/IP network. Some terms and techniques are explained to conduct you through the first steps. Terms IP Address - Address of a device within your local network. Must be unique. Example: 192.168.74.15 or 10.0.0.24 Gateway - Address of the network router. When connecting only two devices ‘peer to peer’, use the ip address of one device if it is needed to be declared. Example: 192.168.74.1 or 10.0.0.20 DNS - Address of Domain Name Server. If you are using a network router with internet access the IP address of the router can be used here. One may define a second DNS for use once the first one fails. Example: 192.168.74.1 (same as gateway) or 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS server) or other… Network router - device that handles the traffic within a network. Often used with integrated ADSL modem. Not necessary to setup a peer to peer connection between two devices only. Has IP address (Gateway). DHCP - Dynamic host configuration protocol. It is used to assign address parameters automatically to devices that are connected to a DHCP server. Network router often act as DHCP server. NOTE! You can use the device‘s MAC address (written on the back panel of the M.1K2) in order to find out the IP address that has been assigned to it by the DHCP server. Network Mask - a bitmask that splits the network into two parts • Network contingent: fixed - identical for all devices • Device contingent: variable - unique for each device, defines the number of available addresses within the network The network mask (like the IP address) contains of 32 bits and is often expressed by decimals. The result of two binary calculations defines both contingents. Example: IP address 1100’0000 1010’1000 0100’1010 0000’1111 192.168.74.15 AND network mask 1111’1111 1111’1111 1111’1111 0000’0000 255.255.255.0 network contingent 1100’0000 1010’1000 0100’1010 0000’0000 192.168.74.0 IP address 1100’0000 1010’1000 0100’1010 0000’1111 192.168.74.15 NAND network mask 0000’0000 0000’0000 0000’0000 1111’1111 255.255.255.0 device contingent 0000’0000 0000’0000 0000’0000 0000’1111 0.0.0.15

M.1k2 Hardware Guide - Version 1.3 Appendix D - How to - Network 24 bits are already set for the network contingent, leaving 8 bits (28 = 256) left for the variable device contingent. The smallest address 192.168.74.0 defi nes the network and the biggest address 192.168.74.255 is reserved. So there are 254 different IP addresses available (192.168.74.1 - 192.168.74.254). In a network environment each device (computer, printer, M.1K2…) needs its own and unique IP address. This can be achieved by a manual setup or by using a DHCP server within a network. The use of a DHCP may ease up the administration of a network. However, if fi xed and known addresses are a need, it is helpful to set up a network manually. Example 1 - Peer to Peer The devices are connected directly. This setup may be used at initial operation of the M.1K2. Example 2 - Network with router Three devices are connected by a router that handles the traffi c within the network. Each device has its own .
