About RHAON
Your Renkus-Heinz loudspeaker is RHAON empowered.
precise control and supervision of self-powered loudspeakers. RHAON uses standard Ethernet hardware, advanced CobraNet technology
can respond to user input in real time.
IMPORTANT
If you will be controlling/supervising your RHAON empowered system with a laptop, do not close the laptop’s lid or allow your
laptop to go to sleep (hibernate) during operation. Some CobraNet components may not wake up from hibernation when your
computer awakens. Your system will continue to operate normally until you attempt to change any of the settings. For ex-
ample, until you attempt to change your Presets (they won’t load) or change your EQ settings and you can’t save them to the
loudspeaker(s). Communications between your computer and the loudspeakers on the network have been disrupted by the
malfunctioning CobraNet components. To prevent this set your laptop’s Hibernation / Sleep settings to “Never”.
Note that this does not affect normal operation. Your system will continue to operate normally until you try to change some of
the settings. If this occurs or some other WindowsTM event causes the CobraNet components to malfunction, you will need to
either Restart your computer or use the Windows Task Manager to return to normal operation. To use the Task Manager, close
RHAON (and, if running, CobraNet Discovery) and use “Ctrl-Alt-Delete” to open the Task Manager. Select the “Processes” tab
and look for ‘PACNDISCO.EXE’ and ‘PASSBRIDGE.EXE’ (Windows may shorten the names and add ‘~1’). Select them and click
“End Process”. Then re-open RHAON.

of the other DSP settings. Once your DSP settings are stored in non-volatile memory, the computer can be disconnected from the network.
You will need to connect a computer only when you want to change the settings or when you want to use the supervise feature.
Renkus-Heinz engineering has programmed the on board DSP to optimize the loudspeaker’s performance and to ensure its safe opera-
tion. Replace the RHAON hardware module only with another unit that has been factory programmed for the same loudspeaker. Contact
our Technical Support Department for details and assistance.
Access Control Note
RHAON systems feature several levels of password-protected access control to prevent inadvertent or unauthorized changes of the control
settings. Even when you connect a computer running RHAON software, you may be denied access to some or all of the Connect and
page 44 of this manual or contact the person responsible for the setup and tuning or commissioning of your system.
RHAON ORGANIZATION: Three Fundamental Audio Operations
Before we go on, let’s take a look at the structure of RHAON. Audio operations comprise three fundamental areas that are necessary for
the success of any sound system:
CONNECT
UTP cable meeting at least CAT5 standards and/or analog cables as well as AC power cords. Network connections are established in
the software. You don’t have to make the two types of connections in a particular order. RHAON software allows you to set up a “virtual
the physical connections are made. If you are using RHAON’s CobraNet digital audio functions, you will also need to connect a CobraNet
CONTROL
SUPERVISE
RHAON allows both real time supervision while the system is in use, and remote supervision with fault logging and operator alerts via
e-mail, text messaging, etc. In steerable arrays, every single driver is supervised and its status displayed; any failures detected trigger an
alarm.
At any time you can switch into any one of the three RHAON operating modes using the Connect | Control | Supervise tool bar directly
above the work space. You can also switch between the three modes and the Beams / Presets folder using tabs inside the Loudspeaker
Properties window.

Software Installation
You need a Windows PC running RHAON software in order to maximize the performance of RHAON-Empowered loudspeakers and your
RHAON system. You can use RHAON software during the design stage, for system setup, tuning and commissioning, and for remote con-
trol and supervision. You can disconnect the computer from the network after commissioning the system, if you or your client are not using
RHAON’s system supervision capabilities.
RHAON software will run on any PC computer that meets or exceeds the following requirements.
Ethernet Port; two NICs are needed if the computer will also be used to e-mail alerts
Operating System: Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 with either 32-bit or 64-bit processors
Screen Resolution: 1024 x 768 or higher
To install the software insert the RHAON installation disk into the computer’s CD drive. The installation program should start automatically.

Virtual System Design
RHAON software can save you time at the job site by enabling you to set up a complete virtual loudspeaker system before you go to the
site. When you get to the site, you connect your computer to the network, link the virtual loudspeakers with their real counterparts, and
upload the settings to each individual loudspeaker.
Your loudspeaker system can include individual loudspeakers, groups of multiple loudspeakers, or a combination of both. Groups as well
We recommend you consider using “Groups” in your designs. You can always control each individual loudspeaker, but quite often it’s
You begin designing a virtual system in the
main RHAON window, which is divided into
two sections. The left vertical panel lists all
the available devices in a directory tree for-

areas: the All Loudspeakers icon represents
your loudspeaker system. It functions as a
“group” control for all the loudspeakers. If you

left hand section by clicking on the Close icon
on its right edge.

tings can then be uploaded to the actual
loudspeakers once your computer has been
connected to the loudspeaker network at the
site.
Users Manual
Assigning a Static IP Address to the RHAON Host Computer
but to make a RHAON system operational you have to connect
your computer and RHAON-Empowered loudspeakers to an
Ethernet network.
You need to associate the virtual loudspeakers you have created
in RHAON with the actual loudspeakers installed in the system.
Your NIC must have a static IP address assigned to it: this
enables RHAON software to communicate to all the loudspeakers
on the network.
Each device on the RHAON/CobraNet network must have a
unique IP address in order to communicate. RHAON software
can assign the IP addresses to your networked loudspeakers
automatically.
In Windows XP, go to My Computer/Control Panel/Network Con-
nections. If you are using Vista or Windows 7, go to Start/Control
Panel/All Control Panel Items/Network and Sharing Center.
Find the connection you wish to use. It will likely be called “Local
Area Connection”, unless you have renamed it. Also, note the
model number of the NIC, as the RHAON software will require it
later. Right click the icon and click “Properties” to open its Proper-
ties window.

this to Use the Following IP Address and enter an IP address
of, for example 192.168.1.1. Next, insert 255.255.255.0 into the
RHAON/CobraNet network.
Note: IP addresses are in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where
“xxx” is any digit from 0 - 255. Local IP addresses that ap-
pear only to other devices on a LAN (Local Area Network) are
xxx.xxx and 10.xxx.xxx .xxx.
192-168.xxx.xxx is the range most commonly used and we
suggest you use it unless you have a good reason to use
another range.
