46 Chapter 3: Converge® Console Programming
Device IDs ensure that the Console software synchronizes with the proper unit when there are multiple Converge
Pro units of the same type on a network. Therefore, each Converge Pro unit of the same type in a Site must have a
unique Device ID. All Converge Pro units ship from the factory with a default DID of 0.
Converge Pro Device Types and Device IDs by model are as follows:
Model Device Type Device ID
880 1 0-7
TH20 2 0-F
840T 3 0-7
8i A 0-7
For example, if there are two Converge Pro 880s and one 840T in a site, the 880s must have unique DIDs. They
could be assigned DIDs of 0 and 1 respectively, and the 840T could be assigned a DID of 0.
NOTE: You must disconnect from the site in order to set the Device ID. Press the Disconnect
button on the Button Bar.
NOTE: The Device ID for each unit MUST match the DID set for that unit in the LCD Settings
Menu. Otherwise, when you reconnect to the Site, Console will see a single unit as two
separate units, and it will add a new unit to the Site with a status of disconnected.
Audio Master
Select Slave (default) or Master from the Audio Master drop down list. Audio Master units ignore audio
from upstream units in a site as shown below.
This prevents audio from being received from units above the master unit in a Site. For example, you can configure
a Site with multiple Converge Pro units for a room-combining application where all units act together when three
smaller rooms are combined together into a single larger room. When the rooms are divided again, the audio from
one room will not be available in the other two rooms due to the Audio Master configuration.
In graphic above, the third unit in the network is an Audio Master with an RS-232 control device attached. Audio
from the first and second units in the network does not pass beyond the second unit. Likewise the second Audio
Master unit in the network does not pass on the audio from the unit before it.
However Serial Control is not affected by Audio Master or Slave designations. Global serial control of the site is
