In this case we assume there is no connection to a network or a device. You set up the system by adding amps in the "Devices" tab by pressing the "add device" button. It is important to set the device type and the desired output mode of the amp correct i.e. single channels, 2-way, 4-way, bridge etc. When you add a device controller you have to assign an IP address. This address should correspond to the actual device IP address. See set device IP address for more info. Note that if an ALC Sentinel 3 is added with a certain IP address but on that same IP address an ALC Sentinel 10 device responds when scanning the network then this device cannot be added and an error message will appear. The added device stays offline. In this case you either change the IP address of the actual device or change the IP address of the device controller in the "ALControl devices in project" list.
You can change the IP address of a device controller by double clicking the entry in the "ALControl devices in project" table. Note that changing the IP address in ALControl of the device controller will not change the IP address of the actual device. After the IP address change the device will reappear in the discovered devices list.
Set the ALControl name by pressing the "ALControl name" button to something useful ie that designates the amp. This name can be found on the device itself under the "System > network" tab.
Proceed to setup device to further set up a device.
When ALControl is connected to the network and the menu's "Network > Scan" or ctrl+F is pressed, the units that are found in the network will be synced (all your ALControl settings are copied to the device) and appear "online" in the "ALControl devices in project" table and the "channels" tab list. A channel can now be directly controlled when double clicked in the "Grouping" tab channel list.
Proceed to create groups to start making groups.
