Step 7. Power the unit on and check for shorts. If all LEDs turn on and after 45 seconds you can hear relays click, this means the unit is powering on correctly. If not, double check that no power cables are pinched under the Dante card or that the polarity is the wrong way round.

 

Step 8. Screw the lid on

Part 3: IT setup

 

Step 0. The sepia unit must be on software version 0.3.28 BEFORE the card is swapped. If you have installed the new card and are on a version earlier than 0.3.28, you will need to re-install the old card before updating.  

 

Step 1. Obtain the IP address of the unit. This is the same procedure as the firmware update. 

 

Step 2. (OPTIONAL) We will check which ouput card the host is currently configured to. Launch the terminal and run the following command:  

 

curl -X GET http://IPADDRESS:59282/output-card

(Substituting “IPADDRESS” for your host’s IP address.) 

For example: 

curl -X GET http://10.10.10.10:59282/output-card 

It should return either “HXA1” Or “HXN1” 

ID code
Option card
HXA1
Analogue Card
HXN1
Dante Card

 

Step 3. We will configure the host to our desired option card. In the terminal run: 

curl -X PUT http://IPADDRESS:59282/output-card -d OPTIONCARD 

(Substituting “IPADDRESS” for your host’s IP address. And Substituting  “OPTIONCARD” for the ID code of your newly installed Option card) 

 

For example: 

curl -X PUT http://10.10.10.10:59282/output-card -d HXN1 
 

Enter the command and the power cycle the host 

 

Step 4. (optional) You can run the command from step 2 to double check the host was configured correctly. 

Step 5. Check Dante updater for any new Dante card software versions.
