PC INfORMATION
Remote Access
USB connectors are provided on both
the front and rear of the PC for the
option to add an external modem of
your choice. If a modem is added, and
a suitable telephone line installed, the
console can be remotely accessed
by Calrec Support Engineers to aid
software upgrades and diagnostic work.
This can greatly enhance the level of
service and support we can provide. A
dial-up facility must first be activated
at the PC before this is possible, to
ensure that connections are not made at
inappropriate times or without the user’s
knowledge and consent.
Local Network
A network port is provided to enable
the user to connect to their own LAN.
Calrec will not be responsible for the
configuration of this port or for any
performance issues arising from its use.

3
rd
Party Software
Calrec recommends that the PC is
regarded as an integral control device for
the console, and not as a general purpose
PC. If 3
rd
party software is installed on the

that it does not interfere with the normal
performance of the PC. The installation
of inappropriate software on the PC may
invalidate the console warranty.
