R Remote Version 3 User’s Guide 1
R Remote Version 3
User’s Guide
Thank you for choosing a Yamaha product.
This user’s guide explains setup and use of "R Remote," a Windows/Mac application that lets you
make parameter settings for the Rio3224-D/Rio1608-D/Ri8-D/Ro8-D/RSio64-D/RMio64-D
(subsequently "R series") units.
This application lets you edit the parameters of up to twenty four R series units from a single
computer. Even if the R series unit is not connected, you can mount it virtually and edit its settings
beforehand.
Up to two computers in which R Remote is installed can be connected to a single device. This means,
for example, that the main operator could operate a console such as the CL while two assistants make
detailed adjustments at the other locations.

Set on the R series units
For Rio3224-D / Rio1608-D / Ri8-D
When using R Remote to operate a Rio3224-D / Rio1608-D / Ri8-D unit, set the DIP switches and
[UNIT ID] rotary switch of the unit, taking note of the following settings.
・ Set the UNIT ID in the range of 1 to 24 (hexadecimal 18). R Remote will not detect units with a
setting of 0 or 25 or higher. (For details on converting between decimal and hexadecimal, refer to
"Decimal/hexadecimal conversion table."
)
・ Set the DIP switches to the following combinations. Put DIP switches 5 and 6 in the upward
position.
・UNIT ID
Settings
Switch
UNIT ID ranging from 0 to F
(1 up)
UNIT ID ranging from 10 to 1F
(1 down)
・IP address
Specify the IP address that R Remote uses for control. This is the setting for control; it is different
than the IP address of the Dante network, so it will be different than the IP address specified on
the Dante Controller.
The first time that you connect an R series unit to your computer after purchasing it, set this to
something other than STATIC IP (MANUAL). If you want to use the STATIC IP (MANUAL)
setting, first specify the IP address from R Remote and then switch to STATIC IP (MANUAL).
Settings Switch
AUTO IP
(The Dante network automatically sets the IP address to
169.254.xx.xx)
(2 and 3 up)
DHCP
(The IP address assigned by the DHCP server will be used.)
(2 down, 3 up)
STATIC IP(AUTO)
(The IP address will be set to 192.168.0.xx (xx= UNIT ID).)
(2 up, 3 down)
STATIC IP(MANUAL)
(Set the IP address to the value specified by R Remote)
(2 and 3 down)
R Remote Version 3 User’s Guide 7
If the network consists only of Dante devices and R Remote, we recommend that you use the AUTO IP setting.
If you are connecting to an existing network, select DHCP as needed.
If you want to use zoning to set the IP address, or want to connect to an existing network but use a static IP
address, choose STATIC IP (MANUAL) and use R Remote to set the IP address.
