Corrective maintenance

USB ports stopped working.

• Check that the connected devices do not draw more than 900 mA / 5 V. If at least one device does, disconnect it,

and power cycle the processor.

• Contact L-Acoustics.

Network issues

Impossible to connect a processor to the L-ISA Controller network.

Refer to the 

L-ISA Controller

 help for software use.

possible cause

diagnosis/procedure

processor is set with an incorrect IP address

set the processor IP address in L-ISA Controller

several devices (processors or amplied

controllers) are set with the same IP address

connect the processor to the computer running L-ISA Controller and set

the processor IP address in L-ISA Controller

network cable is not plugged or incorrectly

plugged

plug and secure CAT5e U/FTP cables into the AVB or CONTROL

connectors on the processor to connect it to other processors, to

amplied controllers, to the computer, or to Ethernet switches
Refer to 

Network conguration

 (p.21) for network topology.

network cable is damaged

replace any damaged CAT5e U/FTP cables in the network chain

more than two software clients are already

connected to the processor

disconnect all other software clients

rmware failure

restart the processor

other causes

contact L-Acoustics

Sound issues

No sound

possible cause

diagnosis/procedure

mains failure

inspect the mains

inputs/outputs are muted

unmute the inputs/outputs

gain value is too low

set an appropriate ouput gain value
If there are fallbacks enabled, set an appropriate input gain value.

incorrect source selection

check the matrix mixer and routing, and input and output MADI and

AVB mapping
If there are fallbacks enabled: select another source that is not reserved

for fallback, or disable fallback on the source.

audio source is not plugged, incorrectly

plugged, or plugged into the wrong input

connector

(re)plug and secure each cable into the audio source and the

corresponding input connector on the processor

audio source cable is damaged

replace the cable

incorrect settings on the audio source

set appropriate parameter values on the audio source, in particular the

output gain value (refer to the third-party documentation)

non-audible bit stream

check that the MADI or AES/EBU source does not deliver non-audio bit

stream (encoded audio)

no AVB input stream

check that a talker is connected to the processor by using an AVDECC

controller
