Common Focusrite RedNet HD32R Redundant Ethernet Networking Questions
Can I control the RedNet HD32R remotely using MIDI, and if so, how do I configure this?
The HD32R doesn't directly support MIDI control; it's primarily an audio interface. However, you can manage its settings through the RedNet Control software over Ethernet, which indirectly can be controlled via a DAW.
Does the RedNet HD32R store any internal presets or configurations, and how are these saved/loaded?
The HD32R's configuration, including clock source and channel routing, is managed and saved within the RedNet Control software on your host computer, not internally on the device itself. This means you manage settings within the software application.
What's the basic workflow for integrating the HD32R into my existing Pro Tools HD system?
Connect the HD32R to your Dante network and Pro Tools HD system using the appropriate DigiLink connectors. Then, use RedNet Control to configure the HD32R's I/O routing and sync it to your desired clock source within Pro Tools.
My RedNet HD32R isn't showing up in RedNet Control; what steps should I take to troubleshoot this?
First, ensure the HD32R is powered on, connected to the Dante network, and that your computer is on the same network subnet. Next, verify that Dante Controller recognizes the device and that RedNet Control is updated to the latest version and is properly configured to scan for RedNet devices.
What are the key benefits of the RedNet HD32R's redundant Ethernet ports and how does the failover process work?
The redundant Ethernet ports provide a backup network connection; if the primary connection fails, the HD32R automatically switches to the secondary port to maintain uninterrupted audio transmission. This requires both ports to be connected to separate network switches for full redundancy.
