Making Network Connections
You are now ready to begin connecting your devices to your Ethernet switch.
Please connect them in the order specified below. Do NOT power up any device
until instructed to in the section “Powering Up the System”.
Wi-Fi Access Point / Wireless Router
Properly set up and configure your Wi-Fi Access Point (WAP) or Router per the
manufacturers instructions. Make sure that DHCP is enabled so that the Pivitec
devices can acquire an IP address for proper system configuration. If your
Ethernet switch has a Gigabit Ethernet port, use a CAT5e Ethernet cable to
connect the Wi-Fi Access to this port. (On some switches, these ports appear on
the far right). DO NOT use the "WAN" or "Internet" port on your router to make
the connection between the router and the Ethernet switch connected to your
Pivitec e32 Mixers and Network Audio Interfaces. Consult the manual for your Wi-
Fi Access Point to identify the proper port. Avoid plugging your Wi-Fi Access
Point into a PoE port on the Ethernet switch if possible as you will need to
connect your Pivitec devices to the PoE ports. If an Internet connection is required
for use with sheet music or other applications on your iOS device, please consult
the
Airport Wi-Fi Configuration
guide from Pivitec's website.
Network Audio Interfaces:
Connect Pivitec Network Audio Interfaces to an
appropriate port on the Ethernet switch as follows:
e16i Analog Input Module:
This unit does not support PoE. Connect to any
available port and use the included 48vdc Power Supplies.
e16i/o-MY Card:
This unit does not support PoE as it will receive power from
the console. (See instructions provided with this card for proper installation and
configuration for your console.)
e16i ADAT:
PoE is recommended for this device. Connect to an available PoE
port on your Ethernet switch. If PoE is not available, contact Pivitec or your dealer
for the approved 48vdc power supply.
e64i/o MADI:
Depending on channel count and sample rate requirements, a
Gigabit Ethernet connection is recommended in addition to PoE. Please consult
the instructions provided with the unit.
e32 Mixers
Connect the e32 Mixers to any available PoE port on your Ethernet switch.
