46-120 browser control
Once the network has been set up as described above, many of the 46-120’s primary functions may be controlled remotely from
a web browser running on a computer or other device anywhere on the same network.
IMPORTANT – for the CDI-46 to control the 46-120’s music level and source selection via browser pages, or via serial
control using either RS-232 or Ethernet, it is necessary to set the rear panel MUSIC CONTROL buttons to REMOTE
(buttons ‘in’). If the CDI-46 is to have full control over music source and level in all four Zones, then all eight buttons should
be set to
REMOTE. However, because the 46-120 allows independent local/remote selection for each Zone/music function
combination, it is also possible to let the CDI-46 provide full or partial remote control in some Zones, but retain front panel
control for others.

Zone Settings
The Zone Settings page allows adjustment of the primary zone functions. If the Zone has been renamed (see “Labelling” on page
14), the Zone’s name will be displayed at the top of the page instead of the number.
• Music Level – click the + and – buttons to adjust the music volume in the selected zone. A Mute/Unmute button is
also provided.
•
Line Input – click the + and – buttons to select the music source (line input) for the Zone. Note that Off is the
default option, and that this is ‘above’ Line 6, so the - button must be used to access the sources from the default. If the
line inputs have been renamed (see page 14), their names will be displayed instead of Line Input n. Only Line inputs
enabled for the Zone (see page 12) will be available in the button.
•
Mic Input – these two buttons force microphone access for MIC 1 and MIC 2 inputs respectively for the selected
Zone. For Mic 1, this effectively overrides the ACCESS CONTACTS port and the input will always be “live”. As with
the line inputs, if the mic inputs have been renamed their names will be displayed instead of Mic 1 and Mic 2.
NOTE: Adjustment of either Music Level or Line Input via the Zone Settings page will automatically assign the CDI-46 to “take
control” of that function in that Zone. The implication of this is that if an RL Series hardware remote control plate is connected
in the same Zone, it will become inoperative as soon as a level adjustment (or mute) is made via the browser. Similarly, in the
case of an RSL Series plate, either its level control or source selection function will become inoperative when the corresponding
adjustment is made from the browser.
It is possible to remove any of the above elements – Music Level, Line Input and Mic Input - from the Zone Settings page on a
per-Zone basis. See page 12 and page 13 for details of how to do this.
