Pro64 Network Concepts
Configuring a Pro64 network involves a few simple steps. This section details
some of the global settings and network concepts that you should be familiar
with when setting up a Pro64 system.
Control Master
In every Pro64 network, one device will always be designated as the Control
Master, the device that manages all A‑Net resources for the network. The
Control Master can be any I/O module in the network, and can be assigned or
changed by the user as needed. Only one device can be assigned as Control
Master in an audio network at a time; an A‑Net network cannot function
without a Control Master.
The functions of the Control Master include:
System resource and information management •
Setting • network mode (Auto or Manual)
Management of • active channels in Auto Mode
System‑level command and control functions •
Keeping track of all Pro64 devices in the network (by type •
and quantity)
Control of the current system‑wide
• sample rate
• Clock Master (analog modules only)
System lock via • password on/off
Management of • Virtual Data Cable (VDC) resources
Management of • stereo link status
Requests to enter Managed Mode •
The Control Master status is identified with a red LED on the front panel
of the device currently assigned as the Control Master.
