Figure 11.5: Box Tabs
MIO Console maintains information about the state of your system persistently. The boxes that have been
attached to the computer will be remembered, and their presence in the system can be maintained indefinitely
by either the saved system state (saved in your Preferences to maintain the state of the system between launch-
es of MIO Console) or by you explicitly saving the state of the console into a file for later recall (or into a
ConsoleConnect host’s session file). In any case, it is possible to have Offline boxes in your system state that
refer to a box that you are no longer using. MIO Console provides commands to remove these boxes from
the system state.
Each box tab provides a contextual menu that you can pop-up to apply commands to the specific box. Right-
click or control-click the currently active box tab to reveal the pop-up menu:
Figure 11.6: Box Tab Pop-up Menu
This menu provides the following commands:
• Forget This Offline Box — this command will remove the box from the system state.
• Forget This Offline Box (and Delete From Mixer) — this command will remove the box from the system
state and delete any channels associated with it from the Mixer.
• Forget All Offline Boxes — this command will remove all boxes that are offline from the system state.
• Forget All Offline Boxes (and Delete From Mixer) — this command will remove offline boxes from the
system state and delete any channels associated with them from the Mixer.
• Identify Box — this command will cause a lightshow to appear on the front panel meters of the box
associated with the tab. Use this command to identify which physical box is represented by the tab.
• Reset Box Output Channel Names — this command resets all of the user-specified names for output
channels to the factory default settings for the hardware.
• Reset Box Input Channel Names — this command resets all of the user-specified names for input chan-
nels to the factory default settings for the hardware.
• Reset All Box Channel Names — this command resets all of the user-specified names for the I/O channels
