Front panel controls, connections and operation
CPU module
Power indicators - Blue LEDs light to indicate power present.
NETWORK - A 3 port Ethernet switcher is built in. This lets you
connect several network devices to the iDR0, for example an iLive
Surface and a laptop running the iLive System Manager software.
While searching for the connection after device power up, the
LINK/ACT indicator flashes at a slow rate. This may take a few
seconds. Once the connection is successfully made the indicator
flashes at a steady fast rate.
Note: Do not connect more than one network cable between two
devices. Attempting to connect a second cable as a ‘redundant
backup’ will result in loss of control.
Note: When using firmware versions up to V1.2, disconnection of the
network cable or loss of network connection requires a Surface
reboot.
Reset Settings - A recessed switch lets you reset the network
address and settings to factory default. This is useful if you are using
a MiniRack and a Surface with unknown network addresses or which
had different addresses previously set. Resetting each networked
device (MiniRack, Surface and TouchScreen) will ensure the devices
connect correctly. To reset the settings, press and hold the switch in
using a pointed object while powering up the rack. Keep the switch
pressed for at least 10 seconds while the rack boots.
MIDI IN, THRU and OUT - Standard MIDI interface for external
system control using MIDI messages. For more information refer to
the iLive Reference Guide and firmware version release notes.
PL-Anet - Proprietary RS485 based control port for connecting
Allen & Heath PL Series remote controllers such as wall plates, GPIO
and fader/encoder panels. For more information refer to the iLive
Reference Guide, PL Series guides and firmware release notes.
CPU (Control) module
Allows control of the system using an iLive Surface, PC or other devices.
