iLive xDR-16 Getting Started Guide 7 AP8331 iss.2

Network connection and settings

The xDR-16 is a networked device. It connects to the same network as the MixRack, Surface,

TouchScreen and laptop or wifi router. The xDR and each device on the network must have a unique

address compatible with the rest of the system. The easiest way to work with the xDR is to use the factory

default IP addresses.

Bridge Control Network cable

The iLive network must be bridged along with the

audio over the Link 1 and Link 2 ACE connections

so that the MixRack can control the connected xDR

expanders.

Use the short CAT5 jumper cable provided with the

ACE card kit to connect from a MixRack NETWORK

port to the ACE card BRIDGE port.

The xDR-16 does not need a Bridge cable as its

ACE port has the network internally bridged.

TCP/IP network addresses

Note - If you are connecting two xDR expanders

you will need to change the IP address of one so

that they do not have the same address. We

recommend you set the second to 192.168.1.21.

Connect one, change its address, then connect the

other.

Note - If you are connecting the xDR to a MixRack

in a linked iLive system you may need to change

the IP addresses of the second MixRack, Surface

and TouchScreen to avoid conflict with the first

system. This is because the two iLive system

networks are bridged via ACE.

The xDR looks for a MixRack with default address

192.168.1.1 and connects automatically when it

finds it. If the MixRack has a different address you

will need to add the xDR manually. If the IP

addresses have been changed or your system fails

to connect you may need to reset the network

settings.

To reset Network Settings

For the MixRack, Surface and xDR-16 locate the

Reset Network Settings recessed switch next to

the NETWORK ports.

To reset the IP addresses turn the system off. While

using a thin, pointed object to press and hold in the

recessed switch, turn the device back on. Hold the

switch in for at least 15 seconds while it reboots.

Release the switch. This will reset the addresses to

factory default as shown in the table.

To reset the TouchScreen address go to its UTILTY

/ Network / Network Setup page and touch the

Reset Network Settings button. Touch Apply to

reboot the system.

Default Network settings

Factory reset IP address defaults are:

MixRack 192.168.1.1 Sub mask 255.255.255.0

Surface 192.168.1.2

TouchScreen 192168.1.3

xDR-16 192.168.1.20
