of the APA32.  
1. Introduction  
Welcome to the APA32 manual. Be sure to read the safety  
considerations on page 1 of this manual before you plug-in and switch  
on the APA32's power.  
The Waves Audio Processing Accelerator is a hardware platform  
designed to provide independent processing resources for Waves  
plug-ins running on a host computer.  
This manual focuses on the APA32 hardware connection and  
operation aspects. All software aspects are covered in the software  
manuals supplied via the Waves software installers or through  
download from the Waves website.

2. Connecting The APA32 unit  
2.1. Mains Power Supply  
The power cable socket and mains power On/Off switch are located on  
the rear panel of the APA32 unit.  
The power supply is auto-switching and supports 100-240V, 50-60Hz.  
Make sure the mains power switch is set to Off (O) before connecting  
the APA32 to the mains.  
Then plug the supplied power cable into the APA32 power socket and  
to your electricity connection. Switch the mains power switch on (|).  
If you need to disconnect the power cable, please be sure to switch the  
mains power switch off first.

2.2. Network Connection  
The network cable connection is located at the back of the APA32 unit.  
There are two possible ways to connect the APA32 unit to your host  
computer:  
1. Direct connection to the host computer’s Ethernet socket using the  
supplied crossed Ethernet cable.  
2. If you intend to connect more than one APA32 unit to your host  
computer, you will need to connect the APA32 units to an Ethernet  
switch* (not a hub) and connect the switch to your host computer  
using standard (non-crossed) Ethernet cables.  
If you connect more than one APA32 unit to your host computer, the  
Ethernet card in your host computer needs to be 1Gbit bandwidth  
based in order to support the required network communication  
bandwidth.  
Important Note:  
It is possible to connect the APA32 unit(s) to an existing Ethernet  
switch used to connect your host computer to other network  
applications.  
However, due to bandwidth and other network considerations it is  
highly recommended to separate networks and to connect your  
APA32 unit(s) to a dedicated Ethernet card.  
Following this recommendation will ensure fulfilling the maximum  
power and potential of your APA32 unit(s).  
*For switch requirements and specifications please check the Waves website.

3. Operation  
Once the APA32 unit is connected to power and to the network, simply  
press the power button on the front panel to switch the unit on.  
The power LED will illuminate to indicate that the unit is operating.  
The APA32 is now ready to communicate with your host computer.  
To switch the APA32 unit off, press and hold the power button on the  
front panel for approximately 4 seconds. The power LED should switch  
off to indicate that the unit is off.  
Before switching the APA32 off, make sure that the Waves software is  
not running on it (as explained in the software manual).

4. Troubleshooting  
Please verify the following points before trying to use the Waves  
software on the APA32 unit:  
1. The power cable is properly connected.  
2. The mains power switch (at the back) is switched on.  
3. Network connections:  
a. A crossed network cable is connected between the  
APA32 and the host computer – in the case of connecting  
a single APA32 directly to the host computer.  
b. A standard network cable is connected between the  
APA32 and an Ethernet switch. The switch is connected  
with a standard network cable to the host computer – in  
the case of connecting several APA32 units to the host  
computer.  
4. The APA32 is switched on (by pressing the power button at the  
front) and the power LED is illuminating.  
In case it is necessary to restart the APA32 unit, this can be done in  
two ways:  
1. Press and hold the power button for a few seconds to switch the  
unit off, and then press it again to switch the unit on.  
2. Insert a small pin into the Reset socket on the unit’s front panel  
and press the reset button to restart the unit.
