2.3 U-Net Routing Screens
If you are using a single TT24 and a DS3232, then the input and output routing screens allow
you to choose the desired input and output routing. These two screens are generally all that
you will need.
For a single TT24 console, the input and output
screens allow you to confi gure all the TT24
console inputs and outputs, including the U100
card. For example, the U100 card in slot A can
receive the inputs from your digital snake, and
it can also send the LP48 card loudspeaker
crossover outputs to the snake and off to your
power amplifi ers.
If you have two TT24 consoles and wish to link them together, you can use the U-Net routing
screens. These are required to pass signals between the two U-Net cards. Using the U-
Net routing allows the two TT24 consoles to share the digital snake and other inputs. For
example, microphones connected to the snake can pass their signals to both consoles.
You must manually route up to 32 signals to and from each card using the Output Routing
screen as described previously. You must also choose up to 32 signals to route-into and
another 32 to route-out of the card slot signal paths themselves. This is done using the U-Net
Routing screens. Because this can be labor intensive, many common setups are provided as
routing presets. See Routing Presets on page 6.
Two U-Net Routing screens are available: one to route from Card Slot A to B and one to route
from Card Slot B to A. Routing from Card Slot A to B involves choosing up to 32 U-Net signals
to receive at the input of card A. You can then choose to route these signals directly back out
of U-Net card B. This complements the Card A to B patching that can be done in the Output
Routing screen. Routing from Card B to A is essentially the inverse. Otherwise, the two
screens are the same. If one or the other U-Net cards is not installed, the routings will appear
greyed out, but they can still be viewed and edited allowing confi guration of the network in
advance without a U100 card.
