Expression 3 - ETC

Setting Expression 3 DIP switches
All consoles check DIP switch settings when the system is turned on. You
must restart the console whenever you change DIP switch settings for
those new settings to take effect.
Expression 3 and later models of Expression 2x, Concept 2x and
Impression 2 (those without a key type power switch on the face panel)
have recessed DIP switches located near the middle of the rear panel
(shown in Console’s back panel, page 326). You may toggle these
switches up or down from the outside of the console without raising its
face panel. Set these switches as follows.
1. Set DIP switches 2 and 3 to indicate ETCNet network status. (If you
are using Full Tracking Backup, the switches also determine which
console is A and which is B).

2. Set DIP switch 4 for SMPTE.

3. Set DIP switch 7 to indicate what kind of wiring you are using.

4. If you are using Twisted Pair wiring, it may be necessary to change
the setting of DIP switch 8. If you are using an external null
concentrator, set DIP switch 8 up. If not, set the switch down.
