How to install Interface Module

• Plan your network topology: Ensure your OMNEO-enabled infrastructure is configured and that Dante-enabled devices are discoverable in the Dante Controller or equivalent routing tools.
• Connect the OM-1 Interface Module to the network: Use a standard Ethernet connection to your managed switch or PoE-capable switch if power over Ethernet is supported in your deployment.
• Power up and verify indicators: Apply power and confirm that status indicators reflect healthy operation; consult the product manual for LED patterns that indicate normal activity.
• Configure routing between OMNEO and Dante devices: Use your network management tools to establish desired audio paths between the OM-1 and other Dante-enabled devices, including PAVIRO Controllers, ensuring correct channel mapping for the 16x16 I/O.
• Test audio paths and levels: Perform end-to-end tests with microphones, line sources, and loudspeakers; monitor signal integrity, latency, and level matching across the network to confirm stable, high-quality audio delivery.
• Document the setup: Record IP addresses, channel assignments, and routing matrices to simplify future maintenance and potential expansions.
