LEDs per port provide network information:
- ACT: Flashes when there is network activity.
- GB/SFP: Shows Ethernet/SFP network status.
Audio and GPIO Connections
All audio and GPIO connections are via 25-pin D-type connectors. Refer to Appendix B for pinout information.
SSL Network I/O Controller
This section applies to the A16.D16, A32, and D64 only. GPIO 32 cannot be controlled from SSL Network I/O Controller.
Installing Network I/O Controller
When an A16.D16, A32, or D64 is used without an SSL console, configuration and control are achieved using the SSL Network I/O Controller PC application. This can be downloaded from the SSL website as part of the Network I/O Stagebox upgrade package or as a standalone installer. Locate and run the installer and follow the on-screen prompts.
Network Configuration - PC
Once installed, connect the Windows PC to the same subnet as the Network I/O unit. The SSL Network I/O Controller application uses network adapters configured in Dante Controller. Before starting, open Dante Controller and select the network adapters connected to the Dante network. Ensure 'Use shared Dante interface' is selected. Subsequent changes may require restarting the application.
TCP/IP is used for communication. Check Windows firewall settings if communications fail. Set the computer to 'Never Sleep' to maintain communication.
Network Configuration - Device
Unless part of a preconfigured system, Network I/O units obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP). To set a fixed IP address, use the Dante Controller application. The computer's network adapter configuration must also be updated to match the Network I/O.
For additional information, see the Dante Controller section.
The GUI
The application window is divided into six sections:
- Input Meters: Shown for every analogue input. The D64 is displayed as a narrow device with no input metering.
- Network View: Shows each SSL device on the Dante network. Clicking a device brings its parameters into the Detail View. Large arrows scroll for more devices.
- Detail View: Shows channel details for the selected device. Large arrows scroll for more channels.
- Focus View: Shows an expanded view of the selected channel.
- GPIO View: Shows the active status for each GPI and GPO.
- Page Select: Selects the detail view to show inputs, outputs, or setup options for each device.

- Fader: Allows manual level control via slider, keyboard, or numeric entry.
- Fader Level Bar: Red for mic inputs, cyan for line inputs.
- Mute: Mutes the input channel. State is volatile and resets on repower.
Mic/Line Inputs
The following controls are available in the Focus window for A16.D16 inputs 9-12:
- +48V: Toggles mic preamp phantom power. Selecting Line input turns it off.
- Pad: Toggles the -30 dB mic preamp pad.
- Mic/Line: Selects input gain range and impedance for mic or line level sources. Mic inputs have a 74dB gain range (incl. pad). Line inputs have no adjustable gain.
Analogue Outputs
This applies to the A16.D16 and A32 only.
Mute: Allows individual outputs to be muted.
AES I/O
This applies to the A16.D16 and D64 only.
- Control Status, Rel, Take, Own: Similar to Analogue Inputs.
- SRC In: Enables SRC for the in-focus input channels.
- Left and Right arrows: Navigate through in-focus channels.
GPIO
This applies to the A16.D16 only. The A16.D16 is equipped with 4 GP input and 4 GP output circuits. Inputs are opto-isolated voltage triggered; outputs are DIL relay closures.
DO NOT use outputs to directly switch capacitive or reactive loads; use a separate external relay.
DIL Relay Ratings: 100V DC, 125V AC; 100mA max.
GP Inputs: Triggered by 4V-24V AC/DC. Current drawn approx. 10mA. Minimum pulse duration 50mS.
GP Inputs / Outputs Connector Details
Connector Type: 25-way D-type male.
Pin Descriptions: Detailed tables for Input 1A/1B through Input 4A/4B, and Output 1A/1B through Output 4A/4B, plus +12V Output pins.
- GP Outputs: All output switch closures are via DIL relay.
- GP Inputs: Triggered by AC or DC voltage (4V-24V).
See Appendix B for connector pinout and contact ratings.
Setup
Press 'Setup' in the Page Select area to display system configuration information. Stagebox Ownership and Inputs Ownership are detailed under the 'Ownership' section.
- Name: Shows the device name as set in Dante Controller.
- Info: Shows status of redundant power supplies, fans, and temperature. Red indicates a fault.
- Operating Level: Allows selection of maximum analogue I/O level in dBu (at OdBFS) for the device.
Ownership
Ownership provides protection for inputs by allowing only the owning device to modify parameters (mic gain, mic/line switching, pad, input mute, SRC). This prevents control conflicts.
Any System T console, SSL Live console, or SSL Network I/O Controller PC application can control ownership. There are three levels:
- Stagebox ownership: Control A16.D16/A32/D64 setup information only.
- Input ownership: Control input parameters only.
- Input x ownership: Control of input parameters on a per-input basis.
Ownership settings are stored on the device. Mute state is volatile and resets on repower.
Stagebox and Input Ownership
Stagebox Ownership: Press and hold to assign or relinquish stagebox ownership.
Inputs Ownership Menu: Press and hold to open. Options include 'Own All' (assign unowned inputs), 'Take All' (assign all inputs, including owned ones), and 'Release All' (release ownership).
Individual Input Ownership
When an input is selected, options are 'Own', 'Take', and 'Release', depending on the current state.
- Unowned inputs: Have a press-and-hold 'Own' button.
- Inputs owned by another controller: Have a press-and-hold 'Take' button and show the owner.
- Inputs owned by this controller: Have a press-and-hold 'Release' button and show this console as the owner.
When an SSL console makes routes from Stagebox inputs, it automatically becomes the owner of unowned inputs. If an input is owned by another controller, 'Take ownership' must be performed. Ownership from Network I/O Controller is manual.
Audio routing is made regardless of ownership assignment.
GPO Ownership (A16.D16 and GPIO 32 Only)
GPO connections also have ownership status, identical to inputs. GPIO 32 ownership is only controllable from System T consoles.
Dante Controller
Refer to Audinate's Dante Controller user guide for full information. This section covers basics.
Clock sync, device naming, AES67 configuration, and network management are done within Dante Controller.
Device Naming: Dante uses device names for routing. Each device must have a unique name; duplicates are appended with a number.
Network Config
Each device requires a unique IP address (auto-configured via DHCP or manual). Primary and secondary ports must not be on the same logical network. Separate switching hardware is recommended for robustness.
Device Info
The 'Device Info' tab shows an overview of devices on the Dante network (name, product type, version, IP, link speed, status). 'Device View' provides configuration and diagnostics (Tx/Rx, signal status, firmware, network utilisation, latency, AES67 parameters). 'Network Config' tab has IP configuration options.
If no DHCP server is present, devices resolve to a link-local address (169.254.xxx.xxx for Primary, 172.31.xxx.xxx for Secondary).
Linking/Unlinking Networks A and B
Network B functionality is not yet enabled. Linking/unlinking Networks A+B in Dante Controller currently has no functional effect.
User and Control Bit Pass-Through (A16.D16 and D64 Only)
To enable AES user and control bit pass-through, set the device to 32-bit encoding (PCM 32) in the Encoding section of the Device Config tab.
