Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the AWS V4 Logictivity upgrade for your AWS console. After installation your system will

benefit from the full range of AWS900+ SE V4 features. These include:

Logictivity browser allowing renaming of scribble strips, external sources, mixes, and TR setups as well as

providing fast, reliable archiving and restoration of automation and TR setups over Ethernet.

Two switchable workstation layers with transport lock.

A-FADA mode where motorised analogue faders follow DAW Automation data.

Total Recall Autoscan and Autodetect.

MIDI over Ethernet driver (ipMIDI). This driver eliminates the need for a remote MIDI interface between your AWS

console and workstation.

AUTO CUE option for talkback, listen mic and red light switch.

Monitor volume control calibration for film mixing and fine gain control options.

Solo boost and Solo isolate.

Seperate EFX and CHOP selection allows channel output to be sourced pre-fader while the EFX system feeds the

track busses to generate stereo headphone mixes.

Single layer DAW mode allows two DAWs to be configured on the same layer, giving parallel access to both

machines.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Before attempting the upgrade, please read these instructions in full to ensure that you have sufficient time,

technical skills and the required crossover RJ45 network cable to complete the upgrade. If you would prefer an SSL

technician to complete the upgrade, please contact your local SSL distributor or office.

1. Exchanging the Monitor PROM

The exchange of the CPU card’s Monitor PROM is only necessary on AWS 900 Classic consoles. The Monitor PROM

on the AWS 900+ CPU already incorporates AWS Logictivity support.

The instructions on exchanging the Monitor PROM are intended for technically competent personnel. To

reduce the risk of electric shock do not perform the upgrade unless you are competent to do so. If you

would prefer an SSL technician to complete the upgrade, please contact your local SSL distributor or

office.

Disconnect the power cord before removing any panels or modules.

Take basic antistatic precautions. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components, even

if you cannot feel, see, or hear it.

Please note that the console will not boot fully after the new Monitor PROM is installed. However, the console’s

processor will boot into a basic download mode allowing the new SE Logictivity software to be transferred.

1) rasp an exposed metal part of the AWS chassis with your bare hand to discharge any static charge you may have

accumulated.

2) Unplug the mains power cord at the rear of the console. Wait 10 seconds to allow any residual charge in the

console’s electronics to decay.

3) Working from the rear, using the Pozidrive screw driver supplied with the console, remove the four screws securing

the top trim. Remove the top trim.

4) Using the Pozidrive screwdriver, remove the four screws securing meter panel 17-24 in position. Tilt the panel

forward slightly and lift the panel out of its slot. Lay the panel onto channels 17-24. It is not necessary to unplug

any of the meter panel’s connections.

5) On consoles shipped prior to the 3rd November 2005 (serial numbers AWS001 – 144 approximately) a screening

plate covered the AWS900’s CPU card. Remove this screening plate taking care not to drop any screws into the

console.

6) The AWS900’s CPU card will now be visible. With the help of the picture below locate the card’s Monitor PROM in

PCB location CD.

7) Using the supplied PLCC IC puller, remove the existing PROM. Squeeze the tool to align its hooks with the slots

in opposite corners of the socket. Insert the hooks fully, squeeze gently, and pull the IC straight out of the socket.
