Cobranet 'Discovery' PC Application
Cirrus Logic, the developers of Cobranet, make available on their website a nice PC
application called 'Cobranet Discovery', or 'Disco'. It can be downloaded and
installed on any PC running Windows XP. It allows the computer to be attached to
the audio network and provides a variety of information about the attached network
devices. Documentation is available on their website: www.cobranet.info, or at
www.lancedesign.com.
The PC TCP/IP network properties must be set for a fixed IP address (not DHCP),
and a subnet mask. The firmware in the ADX-2400s sets their IP addresses to
192.168.100.xx, where xx is the System ID, set by the rotary switches on the PCB
behind the front panel. I recommend setting the PC to 192.168.0.1, although any
other numbers are fine for the last two octets, provided they don't conflict with the
addresses of any ADX-2400s on the network. The subnet mask should be set to
255.255.0.0.
