6. QUICK START GUIDE. REMOTE CONTROL.
In order to gain a complete knowledge of the operation of Phoenix ALIO, we recommend
reading the previous chapters and "AEQ ControlPHOENIX" user’s manual carefully. The
paragraphs below describe the basic actions you will need to take for remote operation of the
equipment by means of "AEQ ControlPHOENIX" application.
6.1. Equipment connections.
6.1.1. Power supply.
Power supply to the unit is provided by the provided AC/DC adapter unit or by means of a
homologated UPS. In any case, connection to the unit is made by means of the special latching
connector at the back as described in chapter 2.2.3 of this manual.
6.1.2. Communications interface.
Connect an Ethernet cable (CAT5 or better) finished in an RJ45 10/100 BT to the LAN
connector provided at the unit’s back panel. The selected cable must be straight when the
connection is made from the unit to a communications device (switch, router…). For more
information about the pinout of this port please check section 2.2.2 of this manual.
6.2. Turning the unit on.
•
Once the unit is connected to the power supply through its adapter, the OLED screen
will turn on after around 15 seconds*, showing AEQ logo and the audiocodec model
name.
•
Check that audio routing and levels are correct; if they are not, just operate the controls
to establish the desired configuration.
•
The unit is now ready to be remotely controlled.
* The "ESC / DEL" key (with a red telephone) will light in red for around 15 seconds when the
unit is turned on, until the welcome screens appear.
6.3. Setting up a computer to control the unit.
Connect to the same network a computer with "AEQ ControlPHOENIX" software installed with
version 2.2.1.20 or higher. Follow what’s indicated in chapter 3 of the application’s user manual.
Check that your PHOENIX ALIO is automatically discovered after launching the application,
according to chapter 4.1 of the software user’s manual. Accept the unit and, if you don’t find it,
please check that the network parameters of both the unit and the computer belong to the same
network having in mind the default IP address of the unit (IP: 192.168.1.88, Mask:
255.255.255.0, GWAY=DNS: 192.168.1.100). Keep in mind that, in order to find it with version
2.2.1.20 (or higher), the unit’s CPU version must be 5.50 or higher.
The codec is ready to be controlled when the individual codec control window appears, showing
"OK" label in PRG and CRD status areas and, below, the equipment’s given name ("ALIO1" in
the example below).
