Step 1 – Connect and power up
Adding PL Series controllers
Use CAT5 cable to connect the MixRack PL-Anet port to
the PL device IN socket. Daisy chain OUT to the next
unit, or use a PL-9 hub for star connection. Make sure
the termination provided is plugged into OUT of the last
device in the chain.
Note:
Once connected, the PL controls need to be
configured. Settings can be saved as library items.
Adding wired laptop control
Check that your laptop meets the system
requirements for running the
iLive Editor
software. Read the Release Notes and
Help File that come with the software.
Check the network settings as above. Plug
your laptop into any one of the NETWORK
ports at the Surface or MixRack. Start the
iLive Editor
program and connect online
or offline.
Adding wireless control
With a wireless router plugged into any
iLive NETWORK port you can run
Editor
on
a wireless laptop,
MixPad
or
OneMix
app
on iPads and
Tweak
on an iPhone.
Network settings
iLive communicates over a TCP/IP network. There
are 3 main components – the MixRack, Surface and
TouchScreen (built into the surface). These and any
other network devices such as a wireless router and
laptop need compatible network addresses. Default
IP addresses are:
MixRack 192.168.1.1 Sub mask 255.255.255.0
Surface 192.168.1.2
TouchScreen 192168.1.3
Example compatible settings:
Laptop 192.168.1.10 Sub mask 255.255.255.0
Wireless router 192.168.1.245
Router DHCP range 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200
If the addresses or unit names have been changed
and your system fails to connect, or you need to
reset the settings, refer to the Troubleshooting page
in the TouchScreen HELP.
Connect Surface to MixRack
Plug a CAT5 cable up to 120m
*
(400 feet)
between the Surface and MixRack
ACE
ports.
A 2m cable (part AH7813), 80m drum (part
AH7000) or 120m (part AH8721) of suitable
cable is available from Allen & Heath.
Note:
You only need one connection between
the Surface and MixRack. The control network
data is transported with the audio via the single
cable ACE link. You do not need a second
cable for the network link.
Note *:
Maximum cable length depends on
cable type. Refer to
www.allen-heath.com
for
information on recommended cables.
