NETWORK ID
DHCP

DHCP setting controls IP Address allocation.

•  DHCP On:

 Current IP Address is displayed. Your router dynamically 

assigns the IP address but may change each time CI 8-120 is powered 
up.

•  DHCP Off:

 Static IP address can be manually assigned. Perform a 

network scan to identify unused IP address within the range of your 
router. Ensure that a correct IP Address is entered; otherwise, your 
CI 8-120 becomes inaccessible. It is advised that you must have a full 
understanding of network setup before making changes to the IP 
settings of your CI 8-120.

IP ADDRESS
• 

Depending upon DHCP Setting (On/Off), IP address is displayed as 
dynamically assigned by your router or based from the static IP address 
you manually entered.

IP SUBNET MASK
• 

Advanced network function that is best left unchanged. It is advised 
that only experienced network administrators make changes in this 
field. 

INPUT/OUTPUT

INPUT SETUP

GLOBAL A, GLOBAL B – ON/OFF
• 

If GLOBAL A and/or GLOBAL B are turned ON, the source(s) connected 
to GLOBAL IN terminals will become the active input defeating all other 
active line input channels. 

• 

With GLOBAL B set to ON and GLOBAL A at OFF setting, GLOBAL B input 
becomes the active input defeating all other active line input channels. 
However, if GLOBAL A is set to ON and with GLOBAL B also at ON 
setting, GLOBAL A input becomes the active input over all other active 
input channels. GLOBAL A takes priority over GLOBAL B.

NAME
• 

The factory default names of the eight LINE INPUT channels are Input 
1 up to Input 8. Each LINE INPUT channel can be renamed by directly 
typing over the specific LINE INPUT. For example, type over “Input 1” 
with the desired name or label like “CD Player”.

• 

The eight INPUT channels correspond to eight individual input sources 
connected to their respective rear panel LINE INPUT ports.

INPUT GAIN
• 

Gain adjustment allows all input sources to play back at the same level 
so you don’t need to adjust the level every time a new input source is 
selected. The ability to level out the input sources will also eliminate 
any jolting transitions when switching between input sources. It is 
generally preferable to reduce the level of the loudest input source 
rather than making louder the softer input sources. 

• 

Grab the pointer of the INPUT GAIN knob icon and rotate to adjust 
gain level within ± 6 dB range at 0.5 dB increments. The corresponding 
numerical value of the adjusted input gain level is reflected below the 
knob icon. You can also type directly desired input gain value in the 
section below the INPUT GAIN knob icon.

SUM (MONO)
• 

Two adjacent line input sources are summed up to provide a mono 
signal output. Set SUM (Mono) to “On” to combine two adjacent line 
input sources or “Off” to maintain stereo input sources.
