ADX Configuration Utility
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For firmware version 2.0.0

This utility is designed to be used to easily define the various configuration
options in the ADX. It operates through three possible methods:

1. File mode - using a USB drive to import/export settings from the ADX using
   the ADX front panel menu.

2. Serial mode - using a serial cable connected from the computer to the ADX
   to transfer the settings.

3. Telnet mode - using an Ethernet connection from the computer to the ADX to
   transfer the settings.

Using the utility with a new ADX
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The simplest method of using the utility is to start with the basic default 
settings and to modify them.

To do this, choose File->New ADX-8 or File->New ADX-16 to start with the default
settings for the ADX0808 or ADX1616, depending upon the model purchased.

Once this selection has been made, the default settings are placed into the
software under individual tabs.

Using the utility with an ADX that already has settings
-------------------------------------------------------
The data that is on the ADX will need to be transferred to the configurator
program.

1. File mode - put a USB drive into the ADX; choose from the ADX menu export, and
   follow the on screen instructions. Then place the USB drive in the computer,
   choose File->File Mode and File->Import from the ADX configurator. Browse to the
   USB drive and select the "config.adx" file to import the data.

2. Serial mode - connect a serial cable from the computer to the ADX; using the front
   panel menu on the ADX, make sure that the serial baud rate is set to 9600 baud and
   no flow control. Now select File->Serial Mode and File->Import to read the data 
   from the ADX.

3. Telnet mode - connect the ADX to the router/switch that the computer is connected
   to, or alternatively directly connect it to the computer using a crossover cable.
   See the instruction manual for the ADX for more information about setting up the
   network settings. Now select File->Telnet Mode and File->Import to read data from
   the ADX.

Once data has been imported or a new ADX has been selected, it is possible to change
the data in the tabs.

Source/Zone Naming
------------------
This tab contains the names that will be displayed on the front panel display
for each zone and source.

Click the name, type what you would like to change it to, up to 16 characters, and 
press enter.

Favorite/Group Naming
---------------------
This tab contains the names that will be displayed on the front panel display
for each favorite and group.

Click the name, type what you would like to change it to, up to 16 characters, and 
press enter.

Zone Audio Controls
-------------------
This tab contains the zone audio control settings.

Start by choosing the zone from the zone list. Once the zone is selected, choose 
a DSP mode from the pick list below it.

The modes are as follows:
1. EQ/Tone Disabled - No 10 band EQ, no tone settings (FLAT)
2. ZQ Mode - The zone is set to custom 10 band EQ mode. Adjust the EQ sliders to the
   left of the zones selection box to define the levels.
3. Preset Mode - The zone is set to use one of 10 custom EQ presets. This differs
   from the ZQ mode in that each zone can contain it's own custom 10 band settings
   in ZQ mode, where it will share an EQ preset setting with all zones. Select the
   preset in the pick list below the DSP mode.
4. Tone Controls - Two band tone (bass/treble) mode. Adjust the tone controls on the 
   left side of the screen to define the levels.
5. Low-pass Mode - The stereo input to the channel is combined into a single mono
   signal; this signal is fed through a second order low pass filter at the specified
   frequency. The two outputs in the zone are identical and are appropriate for one
   or more subwoofer inputs.
   
Mode independent settings are also available here, including volume and balance. 
Finally it is possible to save/delete quick EQ presets for the ZQ mode if it is
desired to set particular zones to the same ZQ setting. Select Save, and when prompted,
save the new file in the same folder as the configuration program.

EQ Presets
----------
This tab contains the EQ preset settings, including 10 bands of EQ levels and the
preset name. This tab also makes use of the Quick EQ Preset pick list.

To edit a preset, simply select it from the Preset box, set the 10 band EQ settings,
and then set the name at the bottom.

It is possible to save/delete Quick EQ Presets. Select Save, and when prompted,
save the new file in the same folder as the configuration program.

Favorites
---------
This tab contains the favorite specifications, which are simply a collection of
output to input specifications that can be recalled at will. 

First, select the favorite from the right pick box. Each zone will be displayed on
the left side, and each source on the top. Use the matrix to place an input/output
combination by double-clicking each box, or right clicking the box and selecting
the connection type. For the ADX, the only available type is audio.

Groups
------
This tab contains the group specifications, which is simply a collection of outputs
that can be switched together.

Zones are listed on the left side, with the group number listed on the top. To place
a zone into a group, simply double click the box on the zone line that corresponds
to the desired group number.

Network
-------
This tab contains the settings for the network setup, and front panel interface.

The network card settings change how the ADX expects to receive an IP address. Since
the ADX operates using the TCP/IP protocol, it must receive an address in order for
other devices to be able to communicate with it.

Two options for specifying this address (and other information) exist; DHCP and static. 

DHCP is a protocol which pulls the address information automatically from a DHCP
server; most network routers/switches contain DHCP server functionality, but it must
be turned on an operational for this to work. 

With DHCP on, once the ADX is connected to the DHCP server, it will display the IP
address detected on the front panel using the Network menu item.

Alternatively, you can specify a static IP address that is not in use by any other
devices on the network, as well as the network mask, and gateway. 

The front panel lockout and front panel IR lockout are also adjustable here; as well
as the display brightness.

Exporting the information back to the ADX
-----------------------------------------
After specifying all of these settings, it is a good idea to backup the settings to
a file. 

From the menu in the configurator, select File->File Mode, and File->Export. The
program will prompt you to select a file name. 

Once you have saved the settings to file, they can be easily retrieved in File Mode
by using the File->Import.

Now that the settings are backed up, they need to be loaded onto an ADX. 
1. File Mode - copy the file that you generated above to a USB drive, and put the
   drive in the back of the ADX. Using the front panel menu, select import and follow
   the on-screen instructions.
2. Serial Mode - select File->Serial Mode from the menu. You must specify the communication (COM)
   port that the serial cable is connected from the computer to the ADX. Using the front panel
   menu, make sure that the ADX serial baud rate is set to 9600 baud, which is the rate that the
   configurator requires. Now select File->Export from the ADX configurator menu to send the
   data to the ADX.
3. Telnet Mode - select File->Telnet Mode from the menu. You must specify the IP address of the ADX.
   Once this has been completed, choose File->Export to send the settings to the ADX.
