NOTE• If there is one I/O device, set the I/O device's UNIT ID to “1.”
• If multiple devices are connected, assign the ID numbers so that there is no conflict between 
devices.
• For devices other than the R series, it is possible for devices of differing models to be assigned 
to the same ID as an R series unit or the same ID as a different model of device. However, since 
the I/O device input/output port screen shows the UNIT ID, this will make it difficult to distinguish 
between the units, so we recommend that whenever possible, you avoid allowing the ID numbers 
to overlap.
• If you have a device whose UNIT ID or device label cannot be changed from its panel or its edit 
screen etc. (such as the Dante-MY16-AUD card or Dante Accelerator), and you want to use that 
device as a SUPPORTED DEVICE, you must change its device label via Dante Controller.
• An I/O device will be recognized as a SUPPORTED DEVICE if you assign the device label as 
follows.
Y###-**********
# is a three-digit hexadecimal number containing the digits 0 - 9 and uppercase A to F (000 - 
FFF)
* indicates any desired character (alphabetical uppercase or lowercase, numerals, or - (hyphen) 
may be used)
• If you are controlling the CL series console from an R series unit, we recommend that you set the 
R unit's START UP MODE to “REFRESH.” Operation will be safer with the “REFRESH” setting, 
since mute will be cleared after synchronization has been completed with CL units whose system 
setting for REMOTE HA ASSIGN is set to “WITH RECALL.” 
With the “RESUME” setting, mute will be cleared and the unit will start operating with the settings 
that were backed up by the R series unit itself, which could allow unexpected audio to be output.
• A single CL series console can control the HA of up to eight R series units.
If nine or more R series units are connected, you can either divide the HA control between 
multiple CL series consoles, or you can omit specifying REMOTE HA ASSIGN for the R series 
units whose HA does not need to be controlled, and use them with START UP MODE set to 
“RESUME.”
When the setup method select button is DVS or MANUALIf you want to enter the device label of an I/O device and mount it, press the DVS or MANUAL 
button to access the DVS/MANUAL field.1
DEVICE LABEL
Displays the device label of the I/O device which you entered from the keyboard.

Dante audio network.
3
Device label entry keyboard
Use this keyboard to enter the device label of the I/O device.
NOTE• If the I/O device is a DVS, mount it by pressing the DVS button.
• If DEVICE LABEL is left blank, the first DVS detected is automatically mounted.
• If the device label you entered is detected automatically, the INPUT/OUTPUT knob settings will 
be ignored, and the rated number of inputs and outputs will be specified.

Displaying the device statusYou can use the touch screen to verify the status of a connected CL series or R-series unit 
(except the Ro8-D) or the Dante status. In order to verify the status of an R-series unit from 
the console, it must be assigned to REMOTE HA in DANTE SETUP.CL seriesThe SETUP field of the DANTE SETUP window shows indicators for the status of the CL 
series console and the Dante network.
R-seriesThe I/O field of the I/O DEVICE screen shows indicators for the status of the R-series units 
and the Dante network.
For firmware that predates support for V1.60, the version indication will be yellow and the 
indicator will be unlit.MessagesError, warning, and information messages are displayed.
Messages are also displayed in the Dante Controller Error Status field.
Each indicator lights or flashes as described below:No call-out Unlit

Using GPI (General Purpose Interface)The rear panel GPI (General Purpose Interface) connector can be used as an input/output 
connector. This connector provides five GPI IN ports and five GPI OUT ports. For example 
you can use an external switch to control internal parameters of the CL series console or to 
switch scenes. Conversely, operations or scene changes performed on the CL series console 
can send control signals to an external device.
For details on how to send control signals to an external device when you switch scenes, refer 
to “Outputting a control signal to an external device in tandem with scene recall (GPI OUT)” 
(page 98).Using GPI INYou can use the GPI IN ports of the GPI connector to control the parameters of the CL series 
console from an external device. For example, you could use an external switch to turn the CL 
series console's Talkback on/off, operate the Tap Tempo function, or switch scenes.
An abnormality has occurred 
on the circuit connected to the 
SECONDARY connector 
during redundant network 
operation.Check the circuit connected to the 
SECONDARY connector.
[SYNC] indicators Meaning Possible solution
Muted during startup, or in the 
process of synchronization.Please wait until started has 
completed or until the unit has 
finished synchronization. It
may take up to 45 seconds for 
completion.
The device is operating 
correctly as a word clock 
master.This indicates that the device is 
operating as a word clock master.
The device is operating 
correctly as a word clock 
slave.This indicates that the device is 
operating as a word clock slave 
and synching to the word clock.

NOTE• With latched operation, the function will switch between active and inactive each time a trigger is 
input from the external switch. In this case, we recommend that you use a non-locking type of 
external switch.
• With unlatched operation, the function will be active only while the signal from the external switch 
is at the high level or low level. In this case, you may use either a non-locking or a locking type 
of external switch as appropriate for your needs.
• Settings in the GPI page of the MIDI/GPI screen are common to all scenes. They can be saved 
as SETUP data.
