UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 134 - Chapter 11: UAD-2 Satellite
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.
