Quick Start Guide
Quick Start
We know that you’re probably in a hurry to get your new Omnia.9 installed and on the air. If you have technical expertise and
previous knowledge of audio processor fundamentals, this Quick-Start Setup Guide will get you up and running as quickly as
possible.
Please note: because Omnia.9 can be configured in many different ways, (some requiring optional licenses), not all features
and capabilities referenced in this guide or in the full product manual may be available in your particular unit.
We suggest having an assistant on hand when racking up Omnia.9 to help balance the unit during installation, and strongly
urge using all 4 rack screws since the chassis design requires all four points be mounted. Although Omnia.9 is fan cooled,
leaving an empty rack space directly above and below the unit is advisable.
Initial Startup
All controls for the Omnia 9 are available via the front panel touch screen. While we consider it far easier to control the Omnia
9 from the NfRemote software as described below, initial control and setup can be done without the unit connected to a
network. Upon power-up, enter the password default of “1234” to unlock the front panel.
Once unlocked, you can navigate through the entire menu structure. For quick network setup, navigate to the Home > System >
System Configuration > IP Configuration menu. Note that DHCP is enabled by default. When configuring your network, please
note that the Omnia 9 does not respond to Ping commands. From the WAN tab, you can enter specific network settings.
Network Connectivity
Two network ports are found on the rear panel of the unit, allowing separate, segregated networks for administrative
capabilities (remote control, including NfRemote and SNMP) and Livewire audio over IP networks.
Flexible network configuration means that all network traffic can be run over a single port if required. For more information,
refer to the full manual’s networking section.
