General Principles
Ÿ Any EVE/NET system comprises one or more remotes, as well as one or more controlled rack
mounted effects units. For readability, these will be referred to as Orvilles in the following text,
although they may in fact be members of the DSP7000 family or other units.
Ÿ The system may also include various interface devices and power supplies. These are all
connected together via a common cable.
Ÿ An EVE/NET system comprising one Orville and one remote is known as a simple system.
Ü See Appendix B for installation information.
Ÿ Any given Orville may be controlled by any number of remotes. Similarily, a given remote can
control multiple Orvilles in parallel.
Unit Numbers
Each controlled effects unit must have a unit number. This is a number from one to four that is used
to identify the controlled Orville. More than one Orville may have the same unit number - in this case,
when selected by a remote they will be driven in parallel (sent the same commands).
In addition, Orvilles with the same unit number may control each other if suitably configured.
A remote determines which Orville(s) it will control according to the unit number selected on its
panel.
Nodes
Any functioning Orville, remote or interface adaptor on an EVE/NET network is known as a node
and can communicate with any other functioning node on the same network.
Masters and slaves
A master node is one that can control one or more other nodes. A slave node is one that can be
controlled. By definition, a remote is a master, and an Orville can be either or both a master and a
slave.
