Topic: CAB4N with MWare
How can a CAB4N be used in MWARE? I can use software to change IP and bundles numbers, but I have no gain controls or GPIO control. What to do?

Re: CAB4N with MWare
You could get ConMan, now referred to, but still not advertised on the website as NControl.
Re: CAB4N with MWare
All kidding aside, there is no direct support for CAB 4n in MWare.
Make it intuitive, never leave them guessing.
Re: CAB4N with MWare
The documentation says that is can be used with a mini and main frames. Is there plan for the future? If so, when? If not, why?

Re: CAB4N with MWare
Sorry, we have tried to find and remove all of those references. The CAB 4n has too many variables to build a device for MWare, so there is no plan to support this in the future.

Please tell me where you saw this so I can find it and eradicate it.
Thanks!

Re: CAB4N with MWare
You may wish to detail the level of incompatibility rather than a simple statement to the effect of "Don't cross the beams!!". The CAB4n indeed cannot be controlled by an MWare project, but it can quite happily exchange CobraNet audio with a suitably equipped Mainframe/Miniframe.

CAB 4N manual V0.2 page 13 paragraph 5. Downloaded from the the downloads tab on the Media Matrix website.

Re: CAB4N with MWare
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Lawrence. I guess we will add that to the list of other issues with the CAB 4n documentation.
Jason is exactly correct... because the CAB 4n is a CobraNet device, it can receive and transmit CobraNet information just like any other CobraNet device. You could possibly use a slew of CAB 4n's around a facility to transmit audio to a MainFrame or MiniFrame with CobraNet cards in them, but the Frames will not be able to control the CAB 4n's at all. If you wanted to use a single NION or an nControl for these purposes, you would be able to do all the control of the CAB 4n's from NWare. This would not exactly be a pretty solution, but if you wanted to slowly migrate from an old MainFrame/MiniFrame based system to a NION based system, it would work really well.
