(input) channels. The STcontroller software appli-
cation should have been used to select the desired
operating Model 362A conguration.
Initial Operation
The Model 362A will start to function as soon as
a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) power source is
connected. However, it may take 20 to 30 seconds
for full operation to commence. Upon initial power up
the three status LEDs, located on the bottom panel
below the RJ45 jack, will begin to light as network
and Dante connections are established. The power
LED on the top panel will most likely light on and o
green as the application rmware begins to function.
Once that has completed the power LED will light solid
green. After the power-up sequence has completed
and the Dante connection has been established full
operation will begin.
Ethernet and Dante Status LEDs
Three status LEDs are located below the ether-
CON RJ45 connector on the Model 362A’s bottom
panel. The LINK//ACT LED will light green whenever
an active 100 Mb/s Ethernet connection has been
established. This LED will then flash green in
response to Ethernet data packet activity. The SYS
and SYNC LEDs will display the operating status of
the Dante interface and associated network. The
SYS LED will light red upon Model 362A power up
to indicate that the Dante interface is not ready. After
a short interval it will light green to indicate that it is
ready to pass data with another Dante device. The
SYNC LED will light red when the Model 362A is not
synchronized with a Dante network. It will light solid
green when the Model 362A is synchronized with a
Dante network and an external clock source (timing
reference) is being received. It will slowly ash green
when the Model 362A is serving as the Leader clock
on the associated Dante network. It’s possible that up
to 30 seconds may be required for the SYNC LED to
reach its nal state.
How to Identify a Specic
Model 362A
Both the Dante Controller and STcontroller software
applications oer an Identify command that can be
used to help locate a specic Model 362A. When the
Identify command is selected it will send a command
to a single Model 362A unit. On that specic unit the
power LED, located on the unit’s top panel, will ash
green approximately eight times. In addition, the
SYS and SYNC status LEDs, located directly below
the etherCON RJ45 connector on the bottom panel,
will slowly ash green. After a few seconds the LED
identication patterns will cease and normal Model
362A power LED and Dante status LED operation
will resume.
Headphone Listen Level
The power LED, located on the Model 362A’s top
panel, will light green during normal operation. The
user is provided with two rotary level controls (pots),
labeled A and B, that are located on the unit’s top
panel. How these controls function will depend on the
conguration settings were made in the STcontroller
software application.
The Model 362A’s two Dante receiver (input) chan-
nels can be independently selected to route to the
left headphone output channel, the right headphone
output channel, or both the left and right headphone
output channels. How the two level controls function
can be selected from among three choices. When the
Ch 1 Level/Ch 2 Level mode has been selected the
control on the left, labeled A, will impact the level of
Dante receiver (input) channel 1. No matter how the
input is routed (left, right, or left and right) the control
will adjust the level of the input. The control on the
right, labeled B, will impact the level of Dante receiver
(input) 2, again no matter if it is routed to the left only,
the right only, or both the left and right headphone
output channels. To clarify, the level controls will
directly impact the two input signals rather than the
headphone output channels. As an example, if Dante
receiver (input) channel 1 is routed to both the left and
right headphone output channels, control A will impact
this one audio signal as it is presented to both the left
and right headphone output channels.
When selected for the Left Level/Right Level mode,
the level controls will impact the headphone out-
put channels (rather than the input channels). The
control on the left, labeled A, will impact the level of
the signal (or signals) present on the left channel
of the headphone output. The control on the right,
labeled B, will impact the level of the signal (or signals)
present on the right headphone output channel. As
previously discussed, the signal being sent to the left
and right headphone output channel is dependent on
