their own name, which you can change using the Allen &
Heath Director software.
Once you have enabled such an auto-detect device, it is stored
under its name. So when you power cycle the BomeBox, it will
look for an auto-detect A&H mixer of the stored name. If you
rename your A&H device using the Director software, the
BomeBox will recognize this mixer as a new device and will
keep on looking for an A&H mixer of the old name (state
“pending”).
The match-by-name mode for auto-detected A&H devices is
particularly useful if using DHCP, where a device can change
IP address. The BomeBox will still recognize the device by
name, even if it appears under a new IP address.
Once you rename an auto-detect device using the Edit button,
the device will stored in manual mode.
Manual A&H Devices
Devices added using the “Add manual device by IP” button, or
renamed auto-detect devices are stored in the BomeBox as a
manual device. These devices are matched by IP address, so
when you power cycle the BomeBox, it will try to restore this
device by connecting to the given IP address.
Manual devices are useful when you've configured your A&H
devices with fixed IP address, or when your A&H device is not
auto-detected. You can also manually connect devices which
are not in the same subnet.
A manual device will connect to the given IP / port
using a plain TCP stream. So it can also be used to
connect to other brands and types of devices which have
a built-in TCP server for MIDI data.
