Start Up Guide Cisco and Artel Switch and Network Configuration for AoIP / AES67 Networks Below are shown some useful links for AoIP / AES67 network configuration, if using a Cisco SG350 switch for AoIP (which are only recommended for very small systems) then please refer to the Cisco Auto Configuration guides or Cisco Manual Configuration guides. These can be found at https://calrec.com/resources/ For larger PTP based audio networking using Artel ARG Quarra switches please refer to the Artel links below: Artel ARG Quarra PTP switch range http://www.artel.com/media-transport-products/quarra Artel ARG Quarra Configuration Guide for AES67 http://www.artel.com/-/media/products-related/configguides/quarra-configuration-guides/quarra-configuration-guide-for-aes67. ashx?la=en * In order to simplify configuration, a text based example configuration file can be uploaded for both the Cisco and Artel ARG Quarra Switches for use with AoIP/AES67 Network devices. These can be found at https://calrec.com/resources/ . The configuration files both allow the switch to operate in the 192.168.30/24 for Primary AoIP port and 192.168.31/24 Secondary AoIP port address ranges and can be adapted as required. Artel Switch Management Settings for AoIP / AES67 Networks The Artel ARG switch is used for AoIP/AES67 Interfacing and needs to have its Port Power Savings Configuration Properties disabled, this is carried out in the Configuration>Green Ethernet>Port Power Savings page of the switch. The Artel switch’s default IP address is 192.168.100.100 typing this into the address bar of the browser accesses the Log in screen. The default Username is “admin” and there is no default Password, clicking on the ‘Sign in’ button gives access to the switch’s configuration pages. A new Artel switch has its power saving feature disabled by default but it’s worth checking, to ensure this is the case, if it isn’t then proceed as shown below:- Deselect all the tick boxes as shown above on the Port Power Savings page of the switch and click on ‘Save’ to apply the changes. ARTEL ARG QUARRA SWITCH GREEN ETHERNET PROPERTIES PAGE Then go to Maintenance > Configuration > Save start-up-config and click Save Configuration. This will save the currently running settings that you have just configured as the switch’s startup configuration so that it loads whenever it is turned on or rebooted.

1. Carefully remove the surface panels and cables from their packaging. If there are any signs of damage, please contact

Calrec Customer Support and do not continue to use the damaged parts. 2. If panel stands or brackets were purchased, you may want to fit these to your panels now. • Please refer to the Type R Installation manual for more information on stand and bracket assembly. 3. Set each panel ID using the switches on the rear of the panel. • The 8-way DIP switch is set as an 8-bit binary representation of the ID value. Each switch is labelled with a value on the panel metalwork. Positioning a switch in the on (1) position enables this value. The values of all enabled switches are summed to create an ID between 1 and 255. • Each panel requires a unique ID. Please refer to “Surface Panels - Suggested Settings” on page 24 4. Using the cables supplied, connect each panel to a POE+ switch or POE injector to power it on. 5. Panels set with factory default settings should boot into config mode automatically. To enter config mode manually, follow the instructions below: • Fader panels: hold down the first 3 buttons on the bottom button row before powering during panel boot up. • LSP: hold down the first 3 buttons once the Calrec logo appears during panel boot up • SSP: hold down the large button and encoder once the Calrec logo appears during panel boot up. 6. When the panels have entered config mode, set each panel’s IP address and subnet mask following the instructions below: • Fader panels: Press option 8 “Set IP Addr” and use the rotary controls to enter each value, then press any Save button. • Soft panels: Press Edit next to the IP address then enter a new value using the on-screen keyboard. Note that the subnet mask on soft panels is not currently editable and is defaulted to the suggested setting (255.255.0.0, or /16 in CIDR notation). 7. Press Reboot to accept changes and on completion disconnect each panel.

Start Up Guide 1. To establish communication between the surface panels and the core, connect the network switch to network interface connections 1 and / or 2 on the rear of the core (marked “Surface”), then connect the surface panels / POE injectors to the network switches one by one to power them up into “Configuration Mode”. Note: If two switches are in use, you may connect the first to interface #1 and the second to interface #2. Once setup the Core should be rebooted via the Reset button on the front of the core. 2. If the Core has been configured with a surface layout that matches the connected panels, the panels will be discovered by the core. If the panels are running a different software version to the core they will automatically update. Once all updates are completed the panels will boot into”Normal Operating Mode”. Soft panels will display the message “This panel has no layout associated with this show” and Fader panels will show blank controls with “No Path” on each of the lower displays. If any of the panels are displaying connection errors or “Looking for core” double check the ID matches the surface layout and the IP address is unique. SURFACE PANEL CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE 7. CONNECT SURFACE SWITCH & SURFACE PANELS TO THE CORE

To create a new Show follow these steps:

1. Open Google Chrome, type 172.16.255.25 into the address bar and press enter to navigate to the Assist landing page. 2. In the menu on the left-hand side, navigate to Shows & snapshots then Shows in the sub-menu. 3. In the footer menu select New, the Create a Show dialogue will be displayed. Select the Default_Show template show and click Next. 4. Fill in the form to label and describe your Show, then click Create New Show. You will be automatically redirected to the Fader layout screen. 5. From here you may begin to configure your mixer with DSP paths, routing etc. However we would recommend that you continue to complete the setup before doing this. Please refer to the Type R Assist Manual or Type R Assist and Console Operation Manual for more guidance. 8. ACCESS ASSIST SETUP AND CREATE A NEW SHOW

16 TYPE R Radio Production System

Start Up Guide Assist may be accessed via the front-facing Setup port by navigating to 172.16.255.25 in Google Chrome, however the Setup port may not be connected to a local area network (LAN) and in a studio install scenario may not therefore be readily accessible to an operator or engineer’s PC. It is therefore recommended that the PC accessing Assist is now connected to the network switch that serves the surface panels instead. By default, all user interfaces may be accessed via the rear network interfaces, using either a “Management” or a “Studio A” subnet. The “Management” subnet resides in the 172.29/16 address space and provides access to all applications and services running on the core. The “Studio A” subnet resides in the 172.17/16 address space and provides access to the Assist, Core Configure & Calrec Connect applications, as well as the console control service. Note: Type R is designed to support a Touch Interface if the PC provides this. To use either subnet configure your PC’s ethernet adaptor as follows: • Management - IP address 172.29.0.1, subnet mask 255.255.0.0 • Studio A - IP address 172.17.0.1, subnet mask 255.255.0.0 Note: Default “Studio B” and “Studio C” subnets will be added in a later version 9.

Important: Currently, the IP addresses and subnet masks assigned to the core’s Connect server are fixed. It will be possible to edit these settings from software release V1.2. Until then, all AoIP devices which are to be discovered and controlled by Connect must reside in the 192.168.30/24 (Primary) and 192.168.31/24 (Secondary) subnets.

1. Connect the audio network switch(es) to interfaces 5 (& 6) on the rear of the core (marked “Surface”) ,

Then follow the steps given below to configure each AoIP interface in an IO box or core: 2. Connect the Pri & Sec AoIP interfaces on the rear of the IO box or core, to your network switch or switches. Note: Follow the suggested switch port connections given for your network switch(es) in the corresponding Network Device document if unsure (see section 6). Note: PTP aware switches are recommended, but are not necessary for small AoIP networks Note: Connect one IO box / device or core at a time to avoid IP address conflicts. EXAMPLE OF CONNECTING A COMBO AOIP BOX TO THE CORE VIA AN AOIP SWITCH 14. CONNECT AUDIO SWITCH AND AOIP PORTS TO THE CORE 3. Enter 172.16.255.60 in the Google Chrome address bar and press enter to navigate to Calrec Connect. 4.
