device. If the version of firmware on the microphones is older than the version
of firmware included with the SoundStructure firmware, the microphones will
be automatically updated with the version firmware from SoundStructure.
Version 24 of the microphone firmware is required for operation with Sound-
Structure devices. Microphones that are plugged directly into the right CLink2
port on a SoundStructure device (assuming SoundStructure firmware version
1.1.0 is used) will be updated to version 24 if it is necessary to update the
microphone arrays. Once updated, the microphones will continue to use ver-
sion 24 even if they are unplugged or powered down.
The SoundStructure device logs may be viewed to show the number and ver-
sion of microphones connected. An example of the log is shown in the next
figure. The first entry will be shown when devices are plugged into the Sound-
Structure. In this example the SoundStructure is connected to an HDX via its
left Clink2 port and then there are 4 microphones connected to the right Clink2
port as shown in the following figure.
Below is an excerpt from the SoundStructure log file:
Feb 8 23:16:40 soundstructure cmdd: sts: conference link configured
Feb 8 23:16:40 soundstructure cmdd: sts: [0] HDX

SoundStructure devices.
