Attero Tech Wall Plate

When this object type is selected from the Audio Object Toolbar, a Attero Tech Wall Plate Initialization dialog window is displayed. Please also review the Attero Tech Wall Plate Network Considerations

Initialization Dialog

Name Description
Device Model Selects which Attero Tech wall plate model will be associated to the block. The unDX2IO+-B, unDX4I-B and the unD6IO-B are supported. Depending on the device model selected further options specific to that model will be presented.
Network Allows the required Media Network Setup to be specified.
Equipment Type Defines the type of hardware this input will be allocated to.

Phantom Power Assigns +48 Volt phantom power to the input for use with condenser microphones
Mute Turns the input/output signal on/off.
Level Adjusts the relative input and output volumes.
Invert Adjusts the polarity of the input signal.
Device Name The Hostname of the transmitting device. Is read only in the Tesira a Interface and must be unique. Can be changed via Dante Controller software and behaves in the following manner:

• When not connected to the Tesira system, the field will be empty.

• When connected to the Tesira system, but no device has been connected to the channel with Dante Controller, the field will display “<disconnected>”.

• When connected to the Tesira system, and a device has been connected to the channel with Dante Controller, but the wrong type or model of device has been connected, the field will display “<invalid device>”.

• When connected to the Tesira system, and the correct model of device has been connected to the channel with Dante Controller, the field will display the name of the connected device.

Channel Name Allows an individual Dante name of each channel. Can be changed offline in the property sheet as well as in the control dialog.
Source Selection Specifies the input source to be used (only available on unD6IO-B model)
Locate

When Locate is enabled, the power LED on the wall plate will flash green.

NOTE:

• Attero Tech devices do not appear in the Tesira Locate window. The Locate button in the Attero Tech input control dialog must be used.

• To initiate locate mode wall plates must be first connected to the Tesira system with Dante Controller.

• Locate mode will not automatically timeout and disable itself – it is active until explicitly deactivated or until the device is power cycled. If the device is power cycled, the Tesira will reactivate Locate if needed when the device reconnects to Tesira.

Dante Channel Naming Conventions

Initially all channels will be given names in the form <Instance Tag>_IN<channel number> for Inputs, or <Instance Tag>_OUT<channel number> for Outputs, where Instance Tag is the default value when the block is created and channel number is within the block, starting with 1.

All Dante names and labels are up to 31 characters in length. Name and label comparisons are case-insensitive; “Guitar” and “guitar” are treated as the same label. Unicode and non-roman characters are not supported.

Device names should follow Domain Name System (DNS) hostname rules. Legal characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and '-' (dash or hyphen). Device names should follow Domain Name System (DNS) hostname rules. Legal characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and '-' (dash or hyphen). Device names must begin with A-Z (or a-z).

Channel labels may use any character except '=' (equals), '.' (full stop or period), '@' (at), \, < and >. Channel labels must be unique on a device. Channel labels do not need to be unique on the network as they are always qualified by device (channel@device).

Please review the Dante Networking and the Attero Tech Wall Plate Network Considerations section for more details.
