  - DashBoard Network Settings
    - To Connect DashBoard to the System
      DashBoard connects to the system as the main controller. All DashBoard connections mirror each other.
    - To Change the IP Address
      Change the IP address of the system from DashBoard.
    - DashBoard Proxy Server Minimum Requirements
  - Ross Platform Manager Connections
    Ross Platform Manager can store and load configurations onto your system remotely, as well as provide software licenses. This allows for a centralized management of system configurations and software options.
  - FTP/SFTP Connection
- System Access
  Enable or disable system access and control methods such as FTP.
- Reference
  The flexible reference system allows for either video reference or word clock to be used to sync audio across multiple devices.
- Audio Inputs
  Audio sources come into the system through embedded audio (SDI), analog XLRs (XLR-Analog-Input only), MADI (SFP), or audio over network (AoIP or Dante®). Internal mixer outputs can also be used as sources.
- Audio Outputs
  Audio sources come out of the system through embedded audio (SDI), analog XLRs (XLR-Analog-Output only), MADI (SFP), or audio over network (AoIP/Dante®). Internal mixer outputs can also be used as output sources.
- Licenses
  Software options allows you to expand the functionality or resources available to the system. These options can either be licensed at the time you purchase your system, purchased and installed later on, or temporarily licensed through the Ross Platform Manager (RPM).
- GPI Control (XLR-Analog-Output Only)
  General Purpose Interface (GPI) is a high/low voltage signalling protocol that allows the system to send simple commands to an external device, or receive commands from a device. Each pin on the GPI is set as either high (+5 Volts), or low (0 Volts), and it is the switching between high and low that sends commands to the external device, or to the system.
- MIDI Controller
  The MIDI controller is used to control the RAVE audio mixer. The controller connects to RAVE through DashBoard.

DashBoard Network Settings

DashBoard can be connected to AudioEdge™ XLR-Analog-Input/Output manually. Once connected, DashBoard will remember the connection until you remove it or the IP address changes.

Note:

If you are using an external controller, or have multiple DashBoard connections to the system, you should use a DashBoard Proxy Server to manage the connection traffic to the system. Refer to the DashBoard documentation for information on setting up a Proxy Server.

Note:

Keep the following in mind:

Keep the following in mind when setting network connections:

You must create a DashBoard connection to each AudioEdge™ XLR-Analog-Input/Output so that you can set up and control that unit.
The Control and Dante® networks must be separate. The Dante Controller and DashBoard cannot be on the same network.
