Locate mode:

The Halogen software application contains a feature allowing you to verify the physical

location of a specific RAD or HAL device. When you place a RAD in Locate mode, the Power, Comm,

Audio Tx, and Audio Rx LEDs on the front of the corresponding RAD flash green. The flashing con-

tinues until you cancel the request in the software, place another RAD in Locate mode, interrupt the con-

nection between the computer and the HAL, disconnect the RAD, or power cycle the HAL.

Mismatch

mode:

When a RAD is connected to a RAD port on the back of a HAL, a comparison is made between

the physical RAD model and the RAD model specified for this port in the HAL configuration. If there is

a mismatch the Power, Comm, Audio Tx, and Audio Rx LEDs on the front of the corresponding RAD

flash red.

Following is an illustration of the back and side of a typical RAD:

WARNING

As it is poor design to plug two microphones into a single microphone input, we do not rec-

ommend this practice.

NOTE

RADs are hot-swappable. In other words, you can replace a RAD without having to power down the

system. The HAL automatically detects the new RAD and configures it using the configuration data stored

in the HAL. If the configured RAD and the physical RAD do not match, the HAL front panel Enabled LEDs

for this RAD flash yellow. At the same time, the RAD's Power, Comm, Audio Rx, and Audio Tx LEDs flash

red.
