Connections

1. 

AC Mains connection: 

110 - 220v auto-switching power connection. Use supplied power cord appropriate for your area.

2. 

LAN Network 

The LAN network jack is a 10/100 RJ45 jack and can be used on a Livewire network for source audio 
and post-process audio monitoring. The LAN network can also be used to access ProSTREAM’s 
internal web configuration pages. The LAN network may also be used for connection to the stream-
ing server instance.

3. 

WAN Network 

The WAN network jack is a 10/100 RJ45 jack which can be used to access the streaming server instance 
if the streaming server is running on a network other than a local or Livewire network. Typically, this 
would be an Internet accessible network connection if connecting to a streaming relay service.

Editing Text

When a text field is displayed, press the main knob to enter edit mode. If the field was previously blank, you 
will now be in text entry mode (a solid cursor is displayed) otherwise you will be in erase mode (a rectangle 
cursor). In text entry mode mode, turning the knob cycles though all available characters while pressing the 
knob selects the current character and moves the cursor to the next character position. While in text entry 
mode, pressing the Return button once switches the cursor to erase mode. In erase mode, turning the knob 
erases (or restores) characters. While in erase mode, pressing the main knob switches back to text entry 
mode while pressing the return button exits the field editing altogether.
