HAL SYSTEM DESIGN GUIDE If lit, indicates that an Expansion Bus device is properly connected to the HAL. If an Expansion Bus device is properly connected to the port and powered on yet the status LED remains dark, there is likely a problem with the connection. 8. Fault, Locate, and Power LEDs The Fault LED (red) turns on when something in the hardware goes awry. The first step in troubleshooting the problem is to open the Halogen software and check the status of this HAL device. The Locate LED flashes green when you place this HAL device in Locate Mode (via the Halogen software). The purpose of this Locate functionality is for verification, when working in the software, of the physical device you are configuring or viewing. The Power LED lights when the HAL hardware is powered on. 9. AES3 LEDs Provides information about the AES3 digital audio channels. The numbers at the top of the front panel correspond to the AES channels on each port, two for the input port and two for the output port. The Lock LED (yellow) indicates when the AES3 input port is locked to the attached AES3 output device. Under each AES3 channel number are LEDs for that channel's audio, providing information on the following: l Overload LED (red)-indicates that the channel is experiencing a signal overload l Signal LED (green)-indicates the presence of an audio signal on this channel Discontinued HAL Models This section describes HAL models that are no longer in production. For the most current list of HAL models, see the Rane website. The following devices are no longer available: HAL1, EXP1, and HAL3. While Rane no longer produces the HAL3, Halogen software continues to provide support for this product, allowing customers to: l Connect to HAL3 devices l Open existing HAL3 configurations l Build new HAL3 configurations To build a new HAL configuration with a discontinued HAL, see Creating Configurations with Discontinued HAL devices below. NOTE: Halogen no longer supports the HAL1 and EXP1 devices. If you would like to create or update a HAL1 configuration, use Halogen version 4.1.1 or earlier. To run multiple versions of Halogen on your PC, see http://blog.rane.com/2013/01/15/tip-running-multiple-versions-of-halogen-on-one-computer/. HAL1 (Replaced by HAL1x) The HAL1 uses a daisy-chain FireWire expansion bus able to support up to four EXP1 devices with a total of 32 output channels and 64 input channels. The maximum cable length for FireWire is 14.8 feet (4.5 meters). 18

Fault, Locate, and Power LEDs
The
Fault LED
(red) turns on when something in the hardware goes awry. The first step in trou-
bleshooting the problem is to open the Halogen software and check the status of this HAL device.
The
Locate LED
flashes green when you place this HAL device in Locate Mode (via the Halogen soft-
ware). The purpose of this Locate functionality is for verification, when working in the software, of the
physical device you are configuring or viewing.
The
Power LED
lights when the HAL hardware is powered on.
9.
AES3 LEDs
Provides information about the AES3 digital audio channels. The numbers at the top of the front panel cor-
respond to the AES channels on each port, two for the input port and two for the output port.
The
Lock LED
(yellow) indicates when the AES3 input port is locked to the attached AES3 output
device.
Under each AES3 channel number are LEDs for that channel's audio, providing information on the fol-
lowing:
l
Overload LED
(red)–indicates that the channel is experiencing a signal overload
l
Signal LED
(green)–indicates the presence of an audio signal on this channel
Discontinued HAL Models
This section describes HAL models that are no longer in production. For the most current list of HAL models, see
the Rane website.
The following devices are no longer available: HAL1, EXP1, and HAL3.
While Rane no longer produces the HAL3, Halogen software continues to provide support for this product, allow-
ing customers to:
l
Connect to HAL3 devices
l
Open existing HAL3 configurations
l
Build new HAL3 configurations
To build a new HAL configuration with a discontinued HAL, see
Creating Configurations with Discontinued
HAL devices
below.
NOTE
:
Halogen no longer supports the HAL1 and EXP1 devices. If you would like to create or update a
HAL1 configuration, use Halogen version 4.1.1 or earlier. To run multiple versions of Halogen on your PC,
HAL1 (Replaced by HAL1x)
The HAL1 uses a daisy-chain FireWire expansion bus able to support up to four EXP1 devices with a total of 32
output channels and 64 input channels. The maximum cable length for FireWire is 14.8 feet (4.5 meters).
