Using a V-1200HDR Dedicated Controller
You can connect a V-1200HDR dedicated controller (optional) to the
LAN port and use it to operate the V-1200HD remotely.
Memo
For more information on how to use the V-1200HDR, refer to the
“V-1200HDR Owner’s Manual” and “V-1200HDR/V-1200HD RCS
Reference Manual” (PDF) available for download at the Roland
website.
1.
Connect the V-1200HDR to the LAN port on the
V-1200HD.
2.
Turn on the power to the V-1200HD.
3.
Turn on the power to the V-1200HDR.
4.
The LINK indicator on the V-1200HD lights up when
communication with the V-1200HDR is established.
* Communication is not established if the V-1200HD and the
V-1200HDR are connected after the power has been turned
on. If the connection has been made while in this state,
communication can be established by resetting the power on
just the V-1200HDR.
* Using an Ethernet switching hub, you can connect V-1200HDR
units and computers installed with V-1200HD RCS (up to two
devices in total) to the V-1200HD.
When connecting multiple V-1200HDR units or computers, each
controller must be assigned a different “CONTROL SURFACE ID”
setting. For information on how to make this setting, refer to
the “V-1200HDR/V-1200HD RCS Remote Control Guide” (PDF)
available for download at the Roland website.
* Use a Category 5e or higher shielded Ethernet cable for
connection. Crossover cables and straight cables are both
supported.
* Connect no devices other than the V-1200HD, V-1200HDR
units, and computers installed with V-1200HD RCS to the same
network.
Using V-1200HD RCS Dedicated Software
You can connect a computer on which the V-1200HD RCS
dedicated control software is installed up and use it to operate the
V-1200HD remotely.
Memo
For more information on how to use the V-1200HD RCS, refer to
the “V-1200HD Owner’s Manual” and “V-1200HDR/V-1200HD RCS
Reference Manual” (PDF) available for download at the Roland
website.
1.
Start the computer on which the V-1200HD RCS is
installed.
2.
Make the network settings on the computer.
* For information on how to make the network settings, refer to
the "V-1200HDR/V-1200HD RCS Remote Control Guide" (PDF)
available for download at the Roland website.
3.
Connect the computer to the LAN port on the V-1200HD.
4.
Turn on the power to the V-1200HD.
5.
Start V-1200HD RCS.
6.
The LINK indicator on the V-1200HD lights up when
communication with the computer is established.
* If you’re using a computer running Windows, then if the
Ethernet cable is disconnected and reconnected after
communication between the V-1200HD and V-1200HD RCS has
been established, communication might fail to be reestablished.
If this happens, you can establish communication while the
devices are connected by going to the computer’s network
settings and setting Local Area Connection to “Disable” and then
again to “Enable.”
* Using an Ethernet switching hub, you can connect V-1200HDR
units and computers installed with V-1200HD RCS (up to two
devices in total) to the V-1200HD.
When connecting multiple V-1200HDR units or computers, each
controller must be assigned a different “CONTROL SURFACE ID”
setting. For information on how to make this setting, refer to
the “V-1200HDR/V-1200HD RCS Remote Control Guide” (PDF)
available for download at the Roland website.
* Use a Category 5e or higher shielded Ethernet cable for
connection. Crossover cables and straight cables are both
supported.
* Connect no devices other than the V-1200HD, V-1200HDR
units, and computers installed with V-1200HD RCS to the same
network.
Remote Control from an External Device
You can connect a remote-control device and use it to operate the V-1200HD.
