7. Starting ME-U

Connect to your mains power outlet and

press the rear panel ON/OFF switch to turn

the ME-U on.

The front panel blue power indicator lights.

Wait until the ME-U has booted. This takes

around 20 seconds. The Output Port

indicators briefly flash red once the system

has booted. With nothing connected they

then turn off. With a ME-1 mixer connected

they flash yellow.

8. Setting up ME-U

The ME-U is set up using a PC or Mac

computer connected to the Network port. A

setup application held within the ME-U is

accessed using a web browser on the

computer, similar to the method typically

used to set up a wireless router.

Setup functions available:

 View and update the ME-U firmware

 View the unit operating temperature

 View the current input source

 View audio clock sync status

 View port link and PoE status

 Change the ME-U network settings

 Select name/link Source Mode (iLive)

 Choose the iDR MixRack (iLive)

 View and edit the 40 channel names

 View and edit the channel stereo links

Settings are stored in the ME-U and

remembered on power up.

8.1 Setting the network addresses

Plug a Cat5 cable from your computer

Network (LAN) port to the ME-U front panel

Network port.

For the computer to communicate with ME-U

it must have a compatible static TCP/IP

address. Check that your computer LAN port

is enabled with its DHCP turned off.

Set a static computer IP address:

IP address = 192.168.1.nnn

Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0

Where nnn is between 1 and 254 (not 40)

The default ME-U network address is:

IP address = 192.168.1.40

Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0

If this has been changed and is not known

then it may be incompatible and the

computer may not connect. If this is the case

reset the ME-U network settings using the

front panel recessed switch.

8.2 Starting the Setup Application

Start your computer web browser.

Enter the ME-U IP address into the browser

address bar: 192.168.1.40

The computer should connect and display

the Status page of the ME-U Setup

Application.

8.3 Reset the ME-U network settings

If the computer fails to connect then try

resetting the ME-U network settings:

Turn the ME-U off. Use a thin pointed object

to press the recessed ‘Reset’ switch. Turn

power back on and keep the switch pressed

for 20 seconds while the unit reboots. This

resets the ME-U network to:

IP address = 192.168.1.40

Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway =192.168.1.254
