USER INTERFACE

The CI 8-120 can be accessed, configured and managed via a web-based 
User Interface. Start access to your CI 8-120 by following the GUIDELINE 
FOR NETWORK SETUP CONNECTION. 

GUIDELINE FOR NETWORK SETUP CONNECTION

This guideline is applicable to PC, MAC or smartphone control devices. 
Adapt the guidelines according to your control device.

Use an Ethernet cable (not supplied) to connect CI 8-120’s LAN port to 
your Wired network or router. 

IMPORTANT NOTES

•  For wired connection to be established, ensure that a broadband router 

that supports Ethernet is setup and available.

•  Ensure that CI 8-120 and the control device (PC, Mac or smartphone 

device) are connected to the same network.

•  Note the MAC ID listed below the rear panel LAN port as this information 

is needed when you identify the CI 8-120 from your network.

Power up your CI 8-120. The CI 8-120 will not communicate with the 
network at standby mode.

Use any network IP scanner to find your CI 8-120's Network ID (listed as 
the product name (NAD CI 8-120 DSP) immediately followed by the last 
six digits in the MAC (Machine Access Control) address (example: NAD 
CI 8-120 DSP_123456). Note also the corresponding IP address assigned 
by the network.

IMPORTANT

 

If your network IP scanner does not show exactly the CI 8-120 Network 
ID nomenclature as described above, find and select instead the product 
brand “NAD” among the devices detected. 

Type the IP address into your control device’s web browser to access 
your CI 8-120’s User Interface (UI). 

Configure your CI 8-120’s Identification, Input/Output, DSP and Settings 
parameters via the User Interface. 

FIRMWARE UPGRADE PROCEDURE

Upon gaining access to your CI 8-120’s User Interface, check 
immediately for any firmware update by selecting “Check for Updates” 
from the “Settings” tab.

Follow the firmware upgrade prompt instructions to complete the 
upgrade process.
