3 – Device Configuration

There are two parts of the device that require software to setup.

First the configurable features of the device itself and second, the

audio routing.

The unA4O device control functions allow adjustment of analog

output volumes and muting as needed per channel. Volume can

be set between 0 and -60dB.

Configuration of the unA4O specific features is carried out using

the Attero Tech unIFY Control Panel application. This application

available

from

the

at https://portal.atterotech.com/home/. See the unIFY Control

Panel manual for details on adjusting these settings.

*Note: The unA4O settings are volatile and parameter changes

will be lost if the unit is reset or power cycled. However, unIFY

Control Panel can be used to save presets and change the power-

on defaults to prevent loss of settings. This is a manual process

and is not automatic.

This is done in our unIFY software by using

the "Save Preset" button and clicking the "Save to Device" button

with the "Default" option selected.

manual for steps to save.

The audio routing is also done using Attero Tech's unIFY Control

Panel. There is a tab on the devices configuration for each unit

specifically for setting up receive and transmit streams.

*Note: When using unIFY Control Panel, the unA4O will be shown

using a default device name of unA4O-###### where '######' is

the last six characters of the devices MAC address.

3.1 – AES67 Audio Network Setup

For successful deployment of Attero Tech's AES67 enabled

products, it is necessary to insure the AES67 audio network is

properly configured. A Quick Start Guide for AES67 Audio

Networking is available from the Attero Tech Customer Portal

https://www.atterotech.com/resources/aes67-audio-

networking-quick-start-guide. As setup needs may vary by

product, it may also be necessary to check with the AES67-

enabled product manufacturer as well.

3.2 – IP Address Setup

*******************************************************************

IMPORTANT

*******************************************************************

Failure to correctly configure IP addresses will not allow a

unA4O device to correctly authenticate in the unIFY Control

Panel software. The output channels won't be visible and

routing of audio from the unA4O will not be possible.

*******************************************************************

In order to configure a unA4O both to set up its internal

parameters and also setup audio routing, the PC will need to be

portal

able to communicate with it over the network. While all AES67

devices will be discovered regardless of the IP address setup on

the PC, communication can only occur if the PC and the device

have compatible IP addresses.

By default, unA4O is set to get a dynamic IP address. Like

almost all network devices, if the unA4O device does not find a

DHCP server to retrieve an IP address from, it will give itself a

local link address (sometimes also known as an automatic

private IP address or APIPA) instead. A local link address is

always in the range 169.254.x.y.

To ensure communication, the PC can either be set to get a

dynamic IP address, or be given a static IP address in the range

169.254.x.y. The PC may require a restart for the changes to

take effect.

In some applications, IP addresses of devices may need to be set

to something specific and that can be done once initial

communication has been established. Bear in mind however that

if a static IP address is assigned to a device and that static IP

address is in a different range to the IP it was previously using

to communicate with the PC/Mac, the PC/Mac will lose

communication with the device until such time as the PC/Mac IP

address is also changed to an IP in range of the devices new IP

address.
