To change the iLive Network Settings
Go to the UTILTY / Network / Network Setup
page. To access the MixRack settings make sure
the drop down menu at bottom right of the screen
displays MASTER. Make the changes to the
settings. Touch
Apply to accept and reboot the
system.
To change the xDR Network Settings
With the xDR connected to the MixRack you can
use the
Network Setup screen as above but select
xDR 1 or xDR 2 from the drop down menu.
If you are connecting two new xDR-16 expanders
then they are likely to both have the same
192.168.1.20 default address. In this case connect
one, change its address to 192.168.1.21, then
connect the second.
Alternatively, power up the xDR while it is not
connected to the MixRack, connect your laptop
LAN (wired) port to the xDR NETWORK port and
use your browser to find it. Make sure the LAN port
is set for compatible static address, for example
192.168.1.10 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
Adjust and Update the settings.
To change the xDR Unit Name
The default name is xDR Expander. This can be
changed if required.
Note - If you are adding two xDR expanders then
change the name of one or both so that they can be
uniquely identified on the network.
Note - The xDR expander settings are stored in the
iDR MixRack it connects to, not the expander itself.
They relate to which ACE port you plug into, Link 1
or Link 2. For this reason make sure you plug each
expander into the correct ACE port.
Use the TouchScreen UTILTY / Network / Network
Setup page. Select the xDR from the drop down
menu at bottom right of the screen. Touch Apply to
accept and reboot the system.
In most places within the iLive system the xDR
expander is referred to as ‘xDR 1’ or ‘xDR 2’. This
depends on which of the two ACE ports, Link 1 or
Link 2 the xDR is plugged into.
The NETWORK ports
The xDR-16 features a built-in network switch with
two ports. This lets you plug in your laptop or wifi
router / access point at the xDR location if that is
more convenient.
You can also transport third party non-iLive network
traffic between the xDR and MixRack using ACE as
a network tunnel.

Note - The easiest way to work
with the iLive and xDR system is
to use the default network
settings. A single expander iLive
system with default IP addresses
will automatically connect. We
recommend you use the default
settings wherever possible.
Step by step instructions are
provided later in this guide for
adding the xDR-16 expander in
various iLive applications.
