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 terminator
provided is plugged into OUT of the last device in the chain.
Note: Once connected, the PL controls can be configured.
Settings can be saved as library items and in Scene
memories.
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 wireless router and laptop need
compatible network addresses. Factory defaults are:
MixRack 192.168.1.1 Sub mask 255.255.255.0
Surface 192.168.1.2
TouchScreen 192168.1.3
We recommend you set Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and:
Laptop IP 192.168.1.10 if wired LAN connection
Router IP 192.168.1.245
Router DHCP range 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200
If the addresses have been changed or your system fails
to connect you may need to reset the settings to factory
default (see next page).
You can also name the MixRack using the Network
Settings screen.
Connect Surface to MixRack
Plug a CAT5 cable up to 120m (depending on cable type)
between the Surface and MixRack ACE™ ports. Refer to
the A&H web site for information on recommended cables.
A 2m short cable (part AH7813), 80m drum (part number
AH7000) or 120m drum (part number AH8721) of suitable
cable is available from Allen & Heath.
Note: You only need one CAT5 connection between the
Surface and MixRack if you are using ACE™. The control
network is bridged with the audio via the single cable.
If your Surface does not have the ACE™ port then connect
a CAT5 cable to a NETWORK port at each end. This
provides control but not audio.
