You use the RM2200D software to both configure the system according to your application and to monitor its operation. Thus it works in two main modes: Configuration Mode and Display Mode.

You use theConfiguration Mode to set up a new RM2200D system or to change a configuration already in use. (see also RM2200D Software Configuration Reference)

In Display Mode, the RM2200D software displays additional information about the current state of the system. This information is either not available at the mixing desk itself or is rendered more concise on the PC monitor. During normal operation of the RM2200D, the software uses the Small Screen Display for status information. (see Small Screen Display)

Full Screen Display only becomes active when you select a fader channel to change its parameters. (see Full Screen Display)

	Note
	Once it is set up, you can use the RM2200D without any PC and software. But if you would like to monitor the operation of the system in more detail, it is recommended you use the RM2200D software in Display Mode.

To use the software, you need to run it on a PC with Windows XP. This PC needs a network connection to the RM2200D.

Important

Before you can use the RM2200D software to configure and monitor a DSP frame, you need to connect to it. Use the dialog Connection in Configuration Mode to connect to the RM2200D. (see also Connection - Configuring the Network Identity) Please note, that both the PC and the RM2200D must be able to exchange UDP messages on Port 2201. In some networks this is not possible due to router and firewall setups. If this is the case, please talk to the network administrator.
