SB168-ES Owner’s Manual

Setup

7. If a ring network is to be used, use the Channel

Allocation slider to select an input/output chan-

nel combination. The possible combinations are

as follows:

In ring networks the total number of input and output

channels is limited to 64. If the network includes only

one or two SB168-ES units you can select from 32

Inputs/32 Outputs to 48 Inputs/16 Outputs without

exceeding the limitation. If three or four SB168-ES

units are connected you will need to decide whether to

give priority to inputs or outputs. For example, you

could select 64 Inputs/0 Outputs if you want to use all

available input channels, or 32 Inputs/32 Outputs if you

want to use all available output channels.

8. Click the [APPLY] button, then click the [OK]

button in response to the conﬁrmation dialog that

appears.

9. If the Quick Setup operation has completed suc-

cessfully a “Quick Setup is done successfully”

message will appear.

The Quick Setup ﬁelds will return to their initial state

when the Quick Setup operation has ﬁnished.

10.

If you are setting up a ring network, disconnect

the computer from the MY16-ES64 card Ether-

Sound [IN] connector, and connect the Ether-

Sound [OUT] connector on the last SB168-ES

unit in the chain back to the EtherSound [IN]

connector on the MY16-ES64 card to complete

the ring.

When four SB168-ES units are daisy chained, their input

channels are assigned to MY16-ES64 input channels 1–64 in

order from the ﬁrst SB168-ES unit in the chain (Setup ID

#1) as follows: 1–16, 17–32, 33–48, 49–64. The MY16-

ES64 output channels are assigned to the SB168-ES outputs

in the same way: 1–8, 9–16, 17–24, 25–32.

In a ring network the input and output channels are assigned

in sequence from the ﬁrst to last SB168-ES unit within the

maximum 64-channel limitation, according to the number of

SB168-ES units used and the Channel Allocation setting.

• As long as the network connections are not changed

there is no need to perform the Quick Setup procedure

again. However, if the number and/or order of the

SB168-ES units are changed, or the connected devices

(SB168-ES, MY16-ES64) are replaced, it will be neces-

sary to perform the Quick Setup operation again.

• If other types of EtherSound devices are connected, or

the channel assignments are to be changed, it will be

necessary to set the appropriate parameters individu-

ally via the AVS-ESMonitor application. Refer to “Indi-

vidual Parameter Settings (Control Page)” on page 16

and/or the AVS-ESMonitor operation manual for details.

• Set up the digital mixing console input patching in

sequential 8-channel groups for the slot inputs (CH1–8,

CH9–16, etc.). This makes it easy to select input chan-

nels on the external SB168-ES units for remote head

ampliﬁer control.

• When the Quick Setup function is executed the settings

are saved to non-volatile memory in EtherSound

devices on the network, overwriting any previous data.

Since the previous data is overwritten and thereby

erased, you might want to save important settings

before executing the Quick Setup function via the [Save

As] command in the [File] menu.
