Reference and audio I/O setup, networking, and audio mixer configuration.
Network Setup
The control network connection for the AudioEdge™ XLR-Analog-Input/Output is separate from the AoIP Primary and Secondary ports and allows you to interface with the system, manage setup files, and collect logs.

- Network Setup
  The control network connection for the AudioEdge™ XLR-Analog-Input/Output is separate from the AoIP Primary and Secondary ports and allows you to interface with the system, manage setup files, and collect logs.
  - 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 Proxy Server Minimum Requirements

The system passes a lot of messages to and from the DashBoard client. If the machine being used for the Proxy Server does not have enough resources to handle the messaging, the DashBoard connection to the system can become unstable.

Important:

Additional DashBoard connections can cause performance issues. It is highly recommended to use a DashBoard Proxy Server to reduce the load on the system.

To properly support multiple connections to the system, the Proxy Server should have the following resources:

Cores — 8
RAM — 8GB

Note:

Other software applications, such as TeamViewer, or services running on the server can lower performance.
