1 FirNet™ Controller
Note: This quick guide provides fast orientation if you have experience using
devices similar in design. A detailed user manual is available for downloading
at www.hkaudio.com.
Getting started
1. Fundamentals
The controller requires different settings for systems driven by different power
amps, so you must adjust the Max Output Level in the Admin menu according
to which amps you’re using, HK AUDIO VX 2400 or Lab.Gruppen FP10000Q.
What’s more, different system configurations need different speaker filters. The
controller ships without speaker filters, so you’ll have to load the entire filter
library or the individual filter that you need. You’ll find the filters alongside LI-
PAN software and other important info on the included CD-Rom.
Here’s what you must do before you run the FIRNET controller for the first
time:
1. Us a network cable to connect the network ports of your PC and the FIRNET
controller.
2. Store the files on the CD-Rom in a new folder on your PC.
3. Install LIPAN software so you can load filters and edit the FIRNET on your
PC.
4. Load speaker filters. You’ll also find filter banks and individual filters serving
to operate the FIRNET with Lab.Gruppen FP10000Q and HK AUDIO VX 2400
power amps on the included CD-Rom.
5. Check the analog gain structures in the FIRNET controller’s Admin menu
items "Max Input Level" and "Max Output Level". Adjust the settings if neces-
sary – that is, if you’re using the FIRNET with Lab.Gruppen amps.
2. PC settings
Entering an IP address to the PC:
The connected PC must have an IP address with the first seven numerals
192.168.1.100 (-254). In other words, ensure the bold numbers appear in the
first three address blocks. Feel free to use any number from 100 to 254 in the
last address block. However, the PC and connected controller may not have the
same numerals in the last block.
Viewing the controller’s IP address:
Network environment
➜
double-click network link
➜
Scroll down to and right-
click TCPIP:
➜
IP address properties (If you change the IP address, you must restart the PC.)
This is where you can view your controller’s preset IP address after the FIRNET
boots: Navigation wheel
➜
Scroll down one in the menu to view the IP address.
You can only change it on the FIRNET controller. Read the detailed explanation
in the Quick Guide or FIRNET manual to learn more about this.

3. Installing LIPAN software
Use a Cat 5 cable (RJ 45) to connect your PC’s network port to the X port on the
rear of the FIRNET. If you want to run several FIRNET controllers simultaneous-
ly, connect the first controller’s II port to the next controller’s X port.
Place the CD-Rom in your disk drive and store all data in a newly created folder.
Then select the file named XP_Install HK AUDIO LIPAN Ver 1.2.0.4.zip, or VIS-
TA_Install HK AUDIO LIPAN Ver 1.2.0.4.zip if your PC runs WIN Vista.
Unzip the .zip file on your disk drive into the same folder. Double-click XP_Ins-
tall HK AUDIO LIPAN Ver 1.2.0.4.exe to start the LIPAN software’s installation
routine.
Once you have installed the LIPAN application (for WIN XP or WIN Vista) on
your PC, load to your controller(s) the filter banks or individual filters you need
to run your system. The installation routine placed a blue LIPAN button on your
desktop; double-click it.
4. Loading filter banks
4.1 Loading an entire filter bank
Open the filter dialog via Controller/Update Filter Libraries. Select the
filters you wish to load from the folder (Open Libraries), and then the target
controllers (click Select All or checkmark them -individually). Click the Send
button to start loading.
