Connection and configuration
The IP1 provides a Fast Ethernet, PoE compliant network port for connection to the
mixing system.
The maximum cable length is 100m. Use STP (shielded twisted
pair) CAT5 or higher cables.
System connection
Connect the IP1 and a dLive / Avantis / AHM Network port to the same PoE network
switch using a CAT5 cable up to 100m long.
At power up, the unit Name and IP address are displayed on the LCD Display for easy
identification of the unit. After a few seconds the IP1 will display level or function if any
has been set for the unit.
If the firmware in a connected IP Remote Controller is not
the same version as that in the mixing system, then the host
mixer or processor will automatically update the IP firmware at
power up.
Either of the two PoE standards 802.3af (15.4W at source)
or 802.3at (25.5W at source) is suitable. Check that the
overall power rating is enough to provide for all IP Remote
Controllers you wish to connect (allow 5W per IP1 unit).
Set up the unit Name and IP Address
When connecting multiple IP Remote Controllers to the same network, ensure each unit
is set to a unique Name and IP Address beforehand. Alternatively you can enable DHCP
on the Remote Controllers, provided a DHCP Server is present on the network and the
DHCP range is compatible with the IP Address of the mixing system.
The factory default settings are as follows:
Unit Name
IP1
DHCP
Off
IP Address
192.168.1.74
