Ok I have an iDR-16 which is definitely putting itself into slave mode. It’s done it twice now. Once last year, when it was running standalone (no surface or editor, just sitting there passing audio). Turned it off over night, next day switched it on and no audio would pass. Had trouble connecting to it with editor, could still ping it but connection with a surface or editor would fail. Eventually figured out it was in slave mode. Put it back to Master and all good.
It’s just done it for a second time, this time while connected to a T112. Has been working fine with this surface for months, then one day, turn it on, T112 can’t connect to it. I couldn’t even ping it this time, so no idea what happened to its address. The network reset button didn’t seem to work at all. The solution was to connect it to a router giving out DHCP addresses, and then finally editor could connect to it enough for me to discover it was in slave mode again and switch it back to master. Seems to be running fine now.
Has anyone ever had similar symptoms, or have any idea what may be causing this? I never use slave mode, so it’s not just me being dumb!
Thanks,
Ben
