Control Surface Connections

1) Auto-sensing power supply that works between 100 and 240V ac and 50 or 60Hz.

2)Power on/off switch which has a protective cover that can be moved over the button to prevent accidental presses from fingers feeling round the back.

3)Two monitor display ports are for future use.

4)Two USB 3.0 ports, labeled with the SS or super speed symbol.

  • Do NOT connect devices unless you are sure they support USB3.0.

5)Two network ports with a pair of standard USB ports beneath each of them.

  • Two of the standard USB ports could be used for a keyboard and mouse. Use of keyboard and mouse are recommended as touch capabilities of the touchpad do not-function when working with the Windows desktop.

Best practice: When attaching a USB device, allow at least 20 seconds for Windows to recognize and install the driver for the device for the first time. Older devices, not recognized as removable storage, may not work with GV Director.

6)Two Network ports, these are configured similar to the server in that NIC 1 is on the left and by default set to be DHCP and NIC2 is on the right and set to be a static IP address, in this case it is 192.168.100.101. To modify either network port setting you will have to close the GV Director Client software and adjust them within the standard Windows 7 OS settings.

Best practice: Initially configure the GV Director system by connecting the two NIC2 ports (those are the static IP address ports) together. Required changes to the server network port configurations and Host name can easily be made through the touchpad menus.

7)3.5mm headphone socket is not used. You only hear the control surface operating system sounds here as no audio media is passed through the control surface.
