Atlona OMNI-238

This driver is for the Atlona OMNI-238 IP to Analog Audio Bridge using Ethernet.

It is very important to follow the complete setup procedures for the Atlona OmniStream provided by Atlona. Failure to follow the procedures provided by Atlona can result in operational failure of both the Atlona products and this driver and may result in damage or injury.

In addition, an understanding of the terminology and functionality provided in the Atlona OmniStream system is assumed. If you are not familiar with the Atlona OmniStream we recommend contacting Atlona for training before proceeding.

RTI is not to be held responsible for any damages or injuries that may result from a lack of knowledge or misuse of this driver with the Atlona OmniStream products.

This driver was developed and tested using the following Atlona OmniStream devices:

1x AT-OMNI-238 IP to Analog Audio Bridge

1x AT-OMNI-512 R-Type Encoder

1x AT-OMNI-521 R-Type Decoder

A Cisco SG300-10P 10 Port Gigabit PoE Managed Switch and a TP-Link TL-R600VPN Gigabit Broadband VPN Router were also used and setup in accordance with the Atlona OmniStream_Certified_Switches.pdf document which is available from Atlona. The XP processor used was connected to the TP-Link router which was setup using a static route to the Cisco switch.

Driver Notes

- Feedback for Room Mute and Level are acquired upon initialization.

- Last Source Selected variables and events are updated as I/O routes are performed and are NOT held in system memory. Although the Audinate Dante Controller software can acquire current I/O routings, the Atlona API does not support polling for the current I/O mapping so the initialization of I/O routes is not available.
