Attero Tech DTH1620
Use this extension to connect to and control the DTH1620 Dante/AES67 network amplifier (Attero Tech by QSC).
Note: See the Attero Tech by QSC product page on the QSC website for product information and documentation.
The extension is compatible with Q-SYS Designer version 8.4 and above. For best results, use the latest Attero Tech firmware.
- In the NIC field, select the interface through which the extension will communicate to control the device.
- In the IP field, specify the IP address of the device and press Enter.
The extension will automatically attempt a connection. The "Connected" LED glows green once a connection is established. If the extension loses its connection to the device, it will attempt to re-establish the connection every 5 seconds.
Note: If Dante Lock is active on the connected device, you will see a padlock icon next to the device name.
Name
The Name may contain ASCII letters 'a' through 'z' (case-insensitive), the digits '0' through '9', and the hyphen. Names cannot begin or end with a hyphen. No other symbols, punctuation characters, or blank spaces are permitted.
Location
User-defined name that groups the component with other components in the same physical location, or in the same organizational scheme.
Is Required
When set to 'Yes' (default), and the device is not found on the network, the device is reported as 'Missing', which is an error condition. When set to 'No', and the device is not found on the network, the device is reported as 'Not Present', which is not an error condition.
Headphone Limit
Set the maximum volume for headphone output, from -103 to 24dB.
Show Debug
Select 'Yes' to show the Debug Output window. For details, see Debug Output.
Device Name
Appears just below the company logo, if available from the connected device. If the extension cannot retrieve the name, the field remains blank.
Refresh
Although the extension monitors the device settings for changes automatically, this button manually triggers the extension to retrieve the current settings and update the extension values to match.
Meters
Toggles metering functionality on or off. Metering packets are only sent when metering is enabled.
Note: Metering should only be used for diagnostics and disabled during normal operation. Metering quickly consumes significant bandwidth if enabled on multiple devices simultaneously.
Identify
Causes the power LED on the front of the device to start blinking so it can easily be identified. The identify function remains active until manually turned off. Click the button to toggle between states.
Status
Normally, this shows "Initializing" for a few moments after starting your design, followed by "OK". If you see a "Fault" status, check your connection parameters. If you see "Missing", ensure that the device is powered on and connected to the network.
Details
Provides information on the connected device such as MAC address, IP address, and MCU version.
