the SoundStructure devices to more than one network. Multiple network con-
nections can be on the same network or on different subnets as shown in the
following figure.
The SoundStructure Ethernet interface can be configured to have either a static
IP address or can accept a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server. By default
the SoundStructure products will accept an IP address from a DHCP server.
Virtual Channels
As described in Chapter 3, a virtual channel is a representation of an individ-
ual physical input or output channel. A virtual channel may also be a stereo
pair of physical inputs or output channels. The virtual channel name that is
created when the virtual channel is defined by the A/V designer is used to
refer to that particular input or output instead of using the physical channel
number. For example, the designer would define the virtual channel “Podium
mic” that is connected, for example, to input physical channel 9 and then refer
the virtual channel as “Podium mic”. Once a virtual channel is defined, it is
always used to reference that particular signal or signals.

The Virtual channel name is case-sensitive: “Podium Mic” and “PODIUM mic”
would represent two different virtual channels.
