Existing UAD

Licenses

If you already have another UAD device, you can share those UAD licenses

with UAD-2 Satellite. This option is presented during initial device registra-

tion; please consider your options carefully when registering.

Hot Plugging Hot plugging refers to the ability to disconnect UAD-2 Satellite while the host

computer is active or sleeping, and reconnect it at a later time without reboo-

ting. UAD-2 supports hot plugging (hot plugging is part of the FireWire spec-

ification).

As long as the UAD drivers are properly installed, if UAD-2 Satellite is

hot-plugged into an active FireWire bus, the UAD drivers will load automati-

cally and be ready for use.

However, disconnecting UAD-2 Satellite when UAD plug-ins are loaded could

cause session data loss and/or unpredictable behavior. Quit all UAD hosts

and the UAD Meter & Control Panel before disconnecting the device.

Disconnect

UAD-2 Satellite can be disconnected when it and/or the host computer is ac-

tive or sleeping as long as no UAD host applications (including UAD Meter &

Control Panel) are running.

Important: Do not disconnect UAD-2 Satellite while UAD plug-ins are

loaded.

Reconnect

UAD-2 Satellite can be reconnected when the device and/or the host com-

puter is powered up. The device will be detected and the UAD drivers will au-

tomatically load upon connection.

Adding a device to the active bus

Connecting or disconnecting a FireWire device to an active FireWire bus

causes a “bus reset” (as speciﬁed by the FireWire protocol). When a

FireWire bus reset occurs, all active UAD plug-ins are disabled. The session

must be reloaded to reactivate UAD plug-ins.

Note: Connect all FireWire devices to the bus before activating UAD

plug-ins.
