Mounting Instructions

The PC should be mounted by  means
of the side brackets, each of which
has two mounting holes.  The PC rack
should always be mounted in a horizontal
position. The sliders should be used when
no support is provided under the PC
assembly.  It should not be supported by
front flanges alone.  Failure to follow these
instructions may invalidate the warranty.
The PC is earthed via its AC power inlet.

Remote Access

USB connectors are provided on both the
front and rear of the PC for the option to
add an external modem of your choice.  If a
modem is added, and a suitable telephone
line installed,  the console can be remotely
accessed by Calrec Support Engineers
to aid software upgrades and diagnostic
work.  This can greatly enhance the level
of service and support we can provide.  A
dial-up facility must first be activated at the
PC before this is possible, to ensure that
connections are not made at inappropriate
times or without the user’s knowledge and
consent.

Local Network

A network port is provided to enable
the user to connect to their own LAN.
Calrec will not be responsible for the
configuration of this port or for any
performance issues arising from its use.

Hydra Network Connection

A Gigabit Ethernet port is provided to
enable the PC to be connected to a
Calrec Hydra Audio Network, which is an
option which can either be purchased with
the console or in the future.

Software Supplied

An OEM PC Operating System license
is supplied with each console, and the
operating system software is pre-installed.
The console software is also pre-installed,
and supplied on a CD-ROM.

Party Software

Calrec recommends that the PC is
regarded as an integral control device for
the console, and not as a general purpose
PC. If 3

party software is installed on the

PC, care must always be taken to ensure
that it does not interfere with the normal
performance of the PC. The installation
of inappropriate software on the PC may
invalidate the console warranty.

Usernames and Passwords

The PC will initially be set up with two sets
of usernames and passwords:

Username: CalrecAudio
Password: (none)

This user can install and run programs,
but cannot change PC hardware settings
(i.e. set up network, install drivers. It is
recommended that this user is used during
normal operation.

Username: CalrecAudioAdmin
Password: calrec

This user has full rights to the PC and can
install and change PC hardware settings.
It is recommended that this user is used
during configuration of the PC and the
