1.3. Dipswitch Setting of Host & Extension Host
1.3.1. Host Configuration Dipswitch (UP means “ENABLE” and DOWN means “DISABLED”)
 1 - “Supervision Enable” means to on/off the system all supervision or monitoring functions, we suggest to
disable or off it during test or before full system wiring, please on this dipswitch after full wiring and software
program.
 2 - “DC Supply Enable” means the host or extended host whether has been 24V DC power supply, if yes,
please program it in the software and on this dipswitch, otherwise, please off this dipswitch. The system host will
be fault if software program is not consistent with 24V DC power supply conditions.
 3 - “ Trigger Mode” here is used to select the two way control inputs whether by closed control input or
level control input. “ENABLE”, means by the relay closed control input, “DISABLED” means the by way of level
control input.
 4 “Spare Amp Config” means the host or extended host whether has been configured with standby power
amplifier, if yes, please also program it in the software, thus when the host amplifier failure, the standby amplifier
will automatically backup the main amplifier failure, since the host built-in auto amplifier failure changeover.
 5 - “DHCP Enable” refers to selection mode of host IP address. “ENABLE” means the IP address of host
will use the IP address automatically allocated by the router, and “DISABLED” means that the host will use the
static IP address;
 Consult the above “6 – Ethernet Port”;
 6 - “Reset IP Address” means to reset the host IP address from its default IP address 192.168.1.168, and
port number is 16888. Only ensure the software PC’s IP address is same gateway with the host IP address, thus
the communication and program could be well done.
 7 - “Impedance Calibration” means to calibrate the zone speaker loading impedance, after the software
program of speaker impedance value and fluctuation percentage, then the system host will activate the speaker
zone impedance surveillance, once there is zone speaker impedance change because of short circuit or open
circuit, the host and software both will be failure warning. Please ensure that the current speaker zones are all
closed while calibrating the modeling;
 8 - “Speaker Line Supervision” to on/off the zone speaker supervision or monitoring.
1.3.2. Extended Host Configuration Dipswitch (UP means “ENABLE” and DOWN means “DISABLED”)
 1 - “1-5 Equipment ID” these 5 pin of dipswitch is used to set up the different ID of extended host.
(00000 means non-configured, 00001 means 01 extended host, 00010 means 02 extended host).
 6 - “DC Supply Enable” means the host or extended host whether has been 24V DC power supply, if
yes, please program it in the software and on this dipswitch, otherwise, please off this dipswitch. The system
host will be fault if software program is not consistent with 24V DC power supply conditions.
 7 - “Spare Amp Config” means the host or extended host whether has been configured with standby
power amplifier, if yes, please also program it in the software, thus when the host amplifier failure, the standby
amplifier will auto backup the main amplifier failure, since the host built-in auto amplifier failure changeover.
 8 - “Speaker Line Supervision” to on/off the zone speaker supervision or monitoring.
