Question:  I'm installing a pair of Optocore X6R-FX 8 port interfaces on a Eclipse frame.  How do I assign ID numbers for each Optocore unit?
Answer:  Each Optocore device in the network must have a unique ID number. The first thing to do after starting an Optocore Control program is to assign a correct ID to each device.  Note that ID order does not indicate the devices order in the real network, however ID indicates the Word Clock
Master Priority – the lower ID means the higher Word Clock Master Priority.  Enter the Set menu and a Configuration dialog. A Configuration window appears:
















To add a new ID to your network, simply choose a device from the list (in this case select X6R-FX-8Intercom). You should also choose the maximum number of inputs (this field is called Audio Input Map), which you want to use on this device. Remember that the maximum input number for a device may differ from available inputs. If you set up maximum input channels for each device, you will exceed a total number of inputs with only few devices. Optocore channel count is restricted only by the number of inputs!
Once this is done write the settings to each device and this should complete the ID setup process.

Alternatively : connect your PC to each Optocore individually via USB and setup the unit ID number...once done connect all the optocore units together via fiber and from a single optocure unit connected via Ethernet or USB to your PC , you can complete the setup for each optocore unit on the fiber ring
