4.10. How to connect wings, nodes, 3D and onPC
There are several things you can connect together. Everything is connected together on a network infrastructure.
This means that you need to connects all you devices using Ethernet cables (of Cat.5e quality or better) to a switch
that minimum runs at 100MB speed and the switch needs to be able to handle Multicast. All devices in the
network use IPv6 to talk to each other - so the switch needs to be able to handle this as well.
If you don't know what IPv6 is and you have trouble with the connections, please read the What is IPv6 help page.
If you have any doubt about what switch to use, please contact your local distributor. They will help you select an
appropriate switch.
dot2 Wings
You can connect wings to your dot2 console or to dot2 onPC. The wings are assigned to a specific device. If this
device is lost on the network then the wing loose it's functionality.
There are two types of wings: the dot2 Fader wing (F-wing) and the dot2 Button wing (B-wing). Each gives you more
physical executors and an extra screen.
Since the wings are connected directly to a specific device you'll need to open the setup menu on the device you
want to connect a wing. In the Setup menu you'll find a button called dot2 Wings , tap this.
This gives you the Wings view. Here you can tap one of the free slots (yellow bar on the left side) of the same type as
your wing. There are only five wings slots for each device. Depending on your devices you might only have a few free
slots. Slots that are occupied by the console have a red bar on the left side - they are called "fixed, internally". Slots
that are currently occupied by an external wing will have a green bar in the left side.
When you tap a free slot you'll see the available wings in your network. If you don't see any wings here, then you
need to check you network and the connections - also make sure everything is powered on.
When you see a wing on the left side of the screen, then you can tap it. The wing you have selected will now flash
all the keys. This is so you can identify the select wing in a multi wings setup. When the correct wing is flashing,
then you can tap the Assign Selected button.
Now you have assigned and connected a wing and you can exit the menu.
dot2 consoles, dot2 onPC and dot2 3D visualizer
Everything but wings are connected to a session. There can be four separate sessions running in your network.
The session system allows for a greater flexibility with regards of backup and redundancy.
