Pairs of inputs and outputs don’t have to be assigned from the same row on the GPIO
list on page 27. For example, Input 2 can be assigned to the
Cough Button
while Output
2 monitors
Cue 1
. They also don’t have to match assignments in any other group. You
are free to assign them any way you want

PDM’s hardware GPIO is independent of Livewire. You can assign totally different
functions from PDM’s front panel (
page 34
).
If you are controlling your network with Pathfinder
™
routing and control software, you
have to register PDM in Pathfinder’s configuration controls. If Pathfinder doesn’t know
PDM is on the network, you won’t be able to use that software to route its audio or GPIO.
Axia Addresses
For Livewire to work, your PDM must have an IP address, and audio and GPIO channels
have to be specified.
1.
Press
Menu
and then
NET
to open the Network menu (
page 32
).
2.
Axia uses static addresses for IP audio networks, so make sure
DHCP
is
Disabled
.
3.
Manually set a valid
IP
Address
and
Subnet
Mask
according to the instructions on
page 25. You may need to contact your network administrator or Axia instructions for
specific information. Save the changes, and power cycle PDM so they get applied.
Once you’ve done this setup, view the
INFORMATION
page to verify PDM’s IP address. Then
you can check the connection by Pinging
32
that address from another computer on your
network.
If you want to connect PDM to both an Axia system and a distant NTP server (
page 33
),
you’ll need to custom-configure your router. Contact your system administrator.
Livewire Audio Channels
25-Seven Systems follows Livewire conventions for source and destination. These channels
may only be set from PDM’s front panel LCD interface.
Open the
Network
menu on a Livewire-equipped PDM, and select the
Axia
menu choice.
You’ll see a screen like this:

It may seem counter-intuitive to set up PDM’s input with a “Destination” channel. We did this to be consis-
tent with other Axia equipment.

seamless as possible. Contact them for instructions.
