parameter allows the amplifier to automatically go into Sleep mode if no audio signal has been
detected for a period of time. This function can be defeated by setting the latter control to Manual.
External Breaker Protection (EBP)
The Power (“PWR”) utility page provides access to the External Breaker Protection (EBP) feature,
which allows the output power to be limited in order to prevent the nuisance tripping of mains
circuit breakers or fuses when the amplifier needs to be operated on a mains supply with restricted
capacity. Set the EBP value to that of the circuit breaker or fuse to which the amplifier is connected.
Ethernet
Ethernet configurations
IP addressing in the Device can be completely automatic; No setup is required.
When first installing and launching PodWare, the computer Firewall may ask to allow PodWare to
access the network
. NOTE: This must be allowed .
DHCP
There are two primary IP address ranges – one used when there is a DHCP server, and another (‘Link
Local’) where there is no DHCP server (so the Device and the Computer will instead use 'Auto IP' to
allocate themselves an IP address). Both the device and the computer must be in the same IP
address range. In a local network environment such as an office where there is a DHCP server, both
the computer and the Device will be in the DHCP IP address range, and so will connect immediately.
AUTO-­‐IP
The device will initially search for a DHCP server when first switched on (during which time its Online
Indicator will be flashing). As it can take up to one minute to establish that there is no DHCP server
available, this is the time it may take before Auto IP is entered.
Please be aware that it can also take some time from a computer being switched on in an isolated
network (without a DHCP server), or unplugged from a network with DHCP to time out of DHCP
searching, so it will not connect immediately to amplifiers that are already using Auto IP. The time it
takes before it decides to revert to Auto IP depends on the operating system but it can take several
minutes to acquire an Auto IP address.
Static-­‐IP
If the device or the computer has a static IP address set, PodWare may not be able to 'see' the
device if it is in a different IP Address range (i.e. in a different
subnet ). Unless there are good
reasons it is best to avoid the use of static IP addressing if at all possible.
IP Troubleshooting
If PodWare cannot connect to the device:
•
Check that the Firewall in the computer will allow PodWare access to the network.
•
If there is no Router in the system acting as a DHCP server, wait 10 minutes (for the
computer to acquire the correct IP address) and try again.
