Up to four PIX 250i units can be daisy-chained using their built-in Ethernet switches. If using five or
more PIX 250i units, Sound Devices recommends using an external Ethernet Switch in a star configu-
ration.
The PIX 250i can either be allocated an IP address from a DHCP server (recommended) or over Link-
local networking. Link-local networking is a protocol which automatically allocates a 169.254.x.x IP
address in the absence of any DHCP server. If a DHCP server is available, the PIX 250i will automati-
cally use it if

Alternatively, the IP address can be configured manually. When Setup Menu option

[Network - Gateway]

erly set, the PIX 250i may be unreachable in the network or may cause conflicts resulting in other
devices in the network being unreachable. Consult with an IT technician to determine the appropri-
ate settings when connecting to a large network.
The PIX 250i uses on-board Auto-MDIX (crossover detection) to allow for direct connection to a com-
puter or to a network.
