User and Control Bit Pass-Through (A16.D16 and D64 Only)
To enable the pass-through of AES user and control bits the device must be set to PCM 32 encoding within Dante Controller. Changing the encoding setting is detailed in the Dante Controller section of this guide.
N.B. When set to 32-bit encoding the audio remains 24-bit. The additional 8 bits are used to transport the user and control bits from the AES3 signals.

Hardware Connections
Mains Power Connections
The A16.D16, A32, D64 and GPIO 32 include redundant PSUs with IEC C14 inlets. Either supply can individually power the unit. Ideally these should be connected to separate power circuits to provide redundancy of incoming AC power.

SSL Network I/O Controller
This section applies to the A16.D16, A32 and D64 only. GPIO 32 cannot be controlled from SSL Network I/O Controller.
Installing Network I/O Controller
When an A16.D16, A32 or D64 is used without an SSL console, configuration and control is achieved using the SSL Network I/O Controller PC application. This can be downloaded from the SSL website as part of the Network I/O Stagebox upgrade package or as a standalone installer.
Locate and run the Network I/O Controller installer and follow the on-screen prompts to install the application.
Network Configuration - PC
Once Network I/O Controller is installed, connect the Windows PC to the same subnet as the Network I/O. The SSL Network I/O Controller application uses the network adapters configured in Dante Controller for communication. Before starting Network I/O Controller first open Dante Controller and select the network adaptors connected to the Dante network. 'Use shared Dante interface' must be selected to ensure all applications using the Dante network use the correct adaptors. Subsequent changes to network settings may require Network I/O Controller to be restarted.

The application window is divided into six sections:
Input meters are shown for every analogue input. The D64 is displayed as a narrow device with no input metering.
Network View shows each SSL device on the Dante network. Clicking a device brings its parameters into the Detail View. Large arrows on the far left and right scroll for more devices.

Show Gain toggles the fader into the focus view window. Gain can be controlled via mouse, keyboard, or numeric entry. Channel Info shows all parameters of the channel at a glance. Selected Channel is highlighted in cyan. Focus Window displays the available parameters for the selected channel. Level Meter shows the signal level for the selected channel. A red clipping indicator is also provided. Fader allows for manual level control via the slider, keyboard arrow keys, or numeric entry by clicking the text Gain Value box. Fader Level Bar is coloured red on microphone input channels and cyan on line level inputs. Mute mutes the input or output channel. The mute state is stored in volatile memory on the unit and all channels will reset to unmuted if the unit is repowered.A16.D16, A32, D64 and GPIO 32 User Guide

Ownership
Ownership offers a level of protection to Inputs: when an input is owned by a console the input parameters can only be modified by the device that owns it. This prevents control conflicts between networked consoles and control computers sharing resources. Parameters covered by ownership are:
- Mic gain
- Mic/line switching
- Pad
- Input mute
• SRC
Note that multiple consoles can share the same input signal but only one device can control the input parameters. Altering the input settings will affect all consoles using the input.
Any System T console, SSL Live console or instance of the SSL Network I/O Controller PC application can control ownership. There are three levels of ownership:
- Stagebox ownership: control A16.D16/A32/D64 setup Information only
- Input ownership: control input parameters only
- Input x ownership: control of input parameters on a per input basis
N.B. Ownership settings are stored on the A16.D16/A32/D64. The mute state is stored in volatile memory on the unit and all channels will reset to unmuted if the unit is repowered.
Stagebox and Input Ownership

text_image
Press and hold Stagebox Ownership to assign or relinquish stagebox ownership If a unit is owned then the operating level can be changedIndividual Input Ownership
One of three options will be displayed when an input is selected on a device, depending on the current ownership state. These options are Own, Take and Release:

text_image
Inputs owned by another controller have a press and hold Take button and show the owner Unowned inputs have a press and hold Own button and show there is no owner 40.00dB Gain 70 20 dB Mute 53.22dB Gain 70 20 dB Mute 38.04dB Gain 70 20 dB Mute Only mic inputs owned by this device have a fader cap and can be controlledWhen an SSL console makes routes from Stagebox inputs, the console will automatically become the owner of any unowned Inputs. If an input is owned by a different controller then routing will not automatically take ownership, Take ownership will need to be performed if input control is required on this device. Ownership from Network I/O Controller is manually controlled.
Note that the audio route will still be made regardless of whether ownership is assigned.

The information below details the basics required to get started.
Clock sync, device naming, AES67 configuration and network management are all done within Dante Controller.
Dante utilises the device name for routing. Each device must have a unique name – if a name is duplicated it will be appended with a number.
Network Config
Each device requires its own unique IP address. This may be automatically configured, provided by a DHCP server or assigned manually. The primary and secondary ports must not be connected to the same logical network. Ideally, separate switching hardware should be provided for primary and secondary networks. Creating VLANs on shared hardware is acceptable but does not provide the most robust redundancy.
Device Info
The Device Info tab shows an overview of all devices on the Dante network including name, product type, software version, IP address, link speed and status.
