Read Me. Please. (OK, at least read some of me.)

If you’re like many engineers or IT types, you’ve probably already put your brand new R/2 into the rack, connected power, connected the network, and perhaps even connected some audio. You may have even powered it up and figured out how to set an IP address to access the web GUI. If that’s you…Great! You’re a few steps ahead of the game and we hope this manual can provide some additional valuable information for you.
If that’s totally not you and you’re more of a “by the book” kind of person, that’s great too. We hope you’ve at least gone through the Quick Start Guide section and found it helpful. This manual will cover some of the same basics as the Quick Start Guide, and go into greater detail about how to get your R/2 up and running.
The layout of this manual is pretty straightforward…It should be in the order you would normally perform installation and configuration steps for the most part (though there may be a few little rabbit trails). The author has tried to take a “what would someone trying to set this up for the first time need to know, and in what order” approach. Some of the chapters dealing with audio processing setup or other configuration details will be a bit longer than others, but overall this manual should be a pretty quick read.
We realize reading manuals isn’t everyone’s idea of a great time, but we’ll try at least to keep it informative and somewhat entertaining—though the author has a habit of cracking some pretty bad jokes. If you aren’t asleep by the end of it, and have your R/2 up and running, this manual has accomplished its goal.
There are probably a lot of things you could be doing with your time besides reading a manual, and we appreciate that you’ve taken the time to read this one. If you REALLY don’t have time to read anything else, start with the Installation Section and read all the way through to the end of the Audio Sources section. The Processing and Encoding section is probably the longest in the manual but covers how to actually make R/2 start doing stuff. If you’re in even more of a hurry, jump straight to the Frequently Asked Questions at the end of this manual.
If after reading this manual you have any suggestions for improvement (or if you see something we might have missed) send a note to inquiry@telosalliance.com.
