Renkus-Heinz IC32-R-II - Manual (Page 4)

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Renkus-Heinz RHAON Empowered digitally steered ICONYX-R-II column loudspeaker. We hope
you enjoy it.
Your ICONYX IC-R-II steerable column loudspeaker was carefully tested and inspected before leaving our factory and should have arrived
in perfect condition. Please carefully inspect the shipping carton(s) and loudspeaker(s) for any noticeable damage, and if any damage is
found, immediately notify the shipping company. Only you, the consignee, may institute a claim with the carrier for any damage incurred
during shipping. Be sure to save the carton(s) and all packing material for the carrier’s inspection. It is also a good idea to save the carton
and packing material even though the loudspeaker arrived in good condition. If you should ever need to ship the loudspeaker, it should be
shipped in its original factory packaging.

About RHAON
Your Iconyx digitally controlled, steerable IC-R-II series column loudspeaker is RHAON Empowered.
RHAON (“rayon”), the Renkus-Heinz Audio Operations Network, is the first practical system to combine digital audio distribution with precise
control and supervision of self-powered loudspeakers. RHAON uses standard Ethernet hardware, advanced CobraNet technology and
on-board DSP (digital signal processing) to turn self-powered Renkus-Heinz loudspeakers from “black boxes” into “smart boxes” that can
respond to user input in real time.
Access Control Note
RHAON systems feature several levels of password-protected access control to prevent inadvertent or unauthorized changes of the control
settings. Even when you connect a computer running RHAON software, you may be denied access to some or all of the Connect and Con-
trol mode functions, depending on how the access control system is configured. For further information on password protection refer to page
44 of this manual or contact the person responsible for the setup and tuning or commissioning of your system.
IMPORTANT
If you will be controlling/supervising your RHAON empowered system with a laptop, do not close the laptop’s lid or allow your lap-
top to go to sleep (hibernate) during operation. Some CobraNet components may not wake up from hibernation when your com-
puter awakens. Your system will continue to operate normally until you attempt to change any of the settings. For example, until
you attempt to change your Presets (they won’t load) or change your EQ settings and you can’t save them to the loudspeaker(s).
Communications between your computer and the loudspeakers on the network have been disrupted by the malfunctioning Co-
braNet components. To prevent this set your laptop’s Hibernation / Sleep settings to “Never”.
Note that this does not affect normal operation. Your system will continue to operate normally until you try to change some of the
settings. If this occurs or some other Windows TM event causes the CobraNet components to malfunction, you will need to either
Restart your computer or use the Windows Task Manager to return to normal operation. To use the Task Manager, close RHAON
(and, if running, CobraNet Discovery) and use “Ctrl-Alt-Delete” to open the Task Manager. Select the “Processes” tab and look for
‘PACNDISCO.EXE’ and ‘PASSBRIDGE.EXE’ (Windows may shorten the names and add ‘~1’). Select them and click “End Process”.
Then re-open RHAON.
