Attero Tech unD6IO

The extension is compatible with Q-SYS Designer version 8.4 and above and Attero Tech firmware version 4.5.0 and above. For best results, use the latest Attero Tech firmware.

1. In the NIC field, select the interface through which the extension will communicate to control the device.
2. 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.

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.

Show Debug

Select 'Yes' to show the Debug Output window. For details, see Debug Output.

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

Enables metering within the extension. The extension polls for metering information once a second and updates signal presence indicators and Dante Rx status for each channel accordingly. The metering function remains active until manually turned off. Click the button to toggle between states.

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, MCU version, and parameter lock state.

Save as Default

Forces the device to save its current settings as the new power-on defaults.

Input Settings

Signal Indicator

Shown in top right corner of each channel. Only active when metering is enabled.

• Green = signal
• Grey = no signal (<60dB)
• Red = clipping

Dante Tx Name

Input Gain

For channels 1 and 2 only, selects the gain level for the input. Options are:

• Line (-15dB pad)
• Line (no pad)
• Low Mic (+25dB)
• High Mic (+40dB)

Phantom Power

For channels 1 and 2 only, selects the state of phantom power for the input. If the button is grey, the phantom power is inactive. If it’s orange, the phantom power is active. Click the button to toggle between states.

Input Select

For channels 3 and 4 only, select what unbalanced audio input is made available to the Dante network. You can select the RCA, 3.5mm jack, or a mix of both for left and right audio:

1. Use this control pin to enable or disable the extension in your design. When Disabled is set to enabled (value of 1), the Connection Status changes to "Not Present - Disabled".

All controls are locked and disabled

If you've successfully connected to the device but all of the controls are locked and disabled, this means that parameter locking is enabled in the unIFY app. To use the extension, disable the parameter lock in unIFY.
