Ro8-D Firmware V2.00 (Previous version)

Please do not use the EEE function (*) of network switches in a Dante network.
Although power management should be negotiated automatically in switches that support EEE, some switches do not perform the negotiation properly. This may cause EEE to be enabled in Dante networks when it is not appropriate, resulting in poor synchronization performance and occasional dropouts.
Therefore we strongly recommend that:
1. If you use managed switches, ensure that they allow EEE to be disabled. Make sure that EEE is disabled on all ports used for real-time Dante traffic.
2. If you use unmanaged switches, make sure to not use network switches that support the EEE function, since EEE operation cannot be disabled in these switches.

* EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that reduces switch power consumption during periods of low network traffic. It is also known as Green Ethernet and IEEE802.3az.
You need to update the Dante-MY16-AUD firmware to V3.3.9 or later before using the Dante-MY16-AUD with the CL series firmware V1.51 or later.
The Dante Firmware Update Manager v1.4.5.7 for Mac, included in the zip files for R series firmware V2.00 does not support Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Please use Mac OS X 10.7.5, 10.8.5 or 10.9.
The Dante Firmware Update Manager v1.4.7.1 for Windows, included in the zip files for R series firmware V2.00 does not support Windows XP.
Please use Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1.

CL/QL/RIVAGE/R/Tio Series Editor/Firmware/R Remote Compatibility

Please make sure to use appropriate version of CL Editor or QL Editor which is compatible with your console firmware in reference to the following compatibility chart. Using an unsupported Editor/firmware combination may result in unexpected behavior.
The Firmware Set is a set of main (and sub) firmware of the device and the Dante firmware. The version of Firmware Set is the same as the version of the main firmware. Refer to the release note of each firmware about the details of the Firmware Set.

Compatibility List

New Features

CL-series firmware V2.03 is supported.
QL-series firmware V1.07 is supported.
The IP SELECT MODE function is assigned to DIP switches 2 and 3 as an IP address setup for remote control. There are three settings: AUTO IP (conventional setup), DHCP, and STATIC IP (192.168.0. "UNIT ID"). When using R REMOTE, set this to AUTO IP.
Now supports a latency value of 2.0msec for Dante.

Fixed bugs

Solved a problem in which a SECONDARY PORT setting was changed using DIP switch 4, but the setting might not have been changed.
Solved a problem in which updating the main firmware of the R series might go wrong. When you update, make sure that the updateV2.exe file is the most recent available.

Known issue

If the Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) is patched to the CL/QL series device using Dante Controller, the patching may not be recalled correctly when the CL/QL series device is restarted. Patch DVS again. In addition, when using a version of DVS for Windows that is older than v3.2.0, the patch after CH41 cannot be performed from CL/QL series consoles.
When updating, perform the update as described in “Ri8-D/Ro8-D Firmware Update Guide.”

Notice

When setting up latency on the Dante Controller, and there is a discrepancy in latency with the transmit device or the receive device, the largest (slowest) latency setting becomes effective.
If the DIP switch REMOTE setting is switched between NATIVE and AD8HR, the device label is set to the default value, and the patch is also cleared.
On the CL/QL, the following device labels are used for detecting a SUPPORTED DEVICE.
Y###-**********
# is a three-digit hexadecimal number containing the digits 0 - 9 and uppercase A - F (000 - FFF)
* indicates any desired character (alphabetical uppercase or lowercase, numerals, or
-(hyphen) may be used) Up to 31 characters including the 'Y' are supported.
Make sure that the UNIT ID indicated by Y###- is not duplicated by any other R-series unit. (### will be the UNIT ID value).
However, as an example, a CL/QL series Console ID can have the same ID number as an R-series device.
* If you update the device from the V1.70 firmware, the DANTE firmware need not be updated. To update the MAIN firmware, perform operations of only the section “Updating the Ri/Ro firmware” in the “Ri8-D/Ro8-D Firmware Update Guide.” If you update the device from other than the V1.70 firmware, update the Ri/Ro device by following the guide thoroughly.
