5.4 PROGRAM NAVIGATION
All principal program controls are persistent and appear on the Master Panel. They perform
specific functions designed to be intuitive. Certain other controls are hidden until you need
them when they can be popped up. We’ll show you all controls and functions by means
of examples as this chapter progresses.
Master Panel
All other panels dock to this panel. When you drag it, all the other panels follow. The
panels cannot be resized.
5.5 WAKING UP THE CONSTELLATION
When a constellation of 1788A’s is powered up, the units automatically handshake with
the DHCP Server. They receive their network IP numbers and stand ready to communicate.
Once all units are ready, the software needs to ascertain what is on the network., and
begin logging on all the units. It is possible that the units will be detected automatically
if the software was started before the constellation was powered up. However, this is not
always dependable. A way to “wake-up” the preamps and hardware remote control units
is provided to obtain an accurate inventory of the constellation at any time. Right-click
the Log-On Panel to pop up the Wake-up options.
Send Wake-up To Preamps
Left-click this icon to wake-up all preamps in the constellation. They will quickly start
populating the Log-On Panel with animated thumbnail images representing each unit that
is found in the order of their IP numbers.
Cancel Wake-up
Closes the pop-up.
Send Wake-up To Controllers
Left-click this icon to wake-up any existing 1788A-R hardware remote controllers (herein
called “HRemotes”) that may be on the network. Nothing will be seen to happen unless
you already have the Save or Load function pressed. In that case, the Preset Panel will be
opened up to see the “HRemote” select buttons. Any HRemotes that are found will have
their flashing red cross-outs deleted.
5.6 INITIAL STATES
When a constellation is powered down at the end of a show, all preamps and remote
controllers remember their states. They will always power back up in the same condition.
That means you don’t have to re-initialize the units unless you need them to be in some
