used to connect the SoundStructure devices to more than one network.

Multiple network connections can be on the same network or on different

subnets as shown in the following figure.

The SoundStructure Ethernet interface can be configured to have either a static

IP address or can accept a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server. By default

the SoundStructure products will accept an IP address from a DHCP server.

Virtual Channels

As described in Chapter 3, a virtual channel is a representation of an

individual physical input or output channel. A virtual channel may also be a

stereo pair of physical inputs or output channels. The virtual channel name

that is created when the virtual channel is defined by the A/V designer is used

to refer to that particular input or output instead of using the physical channel

number. For example, the designer would define the virtual channel “Podium

mic” that is connected, for example, to input physical channel 9 and then refer

the virtual channel as “Podium mic”. Once a virtual channel is defined, it is

always used to reference that particular signal or signals.

Warning

The Virtual channel name is case-sensitive: “Podium Mic” and “PODIUM mic”
would represent two different virtual channels.
