Allen&Heath ILIVE MIXPAD - Manual (Page 6)

Refer to the Allen & Heath web site for more information on choosing wireless
routers for use with the iLive system.
Setting up the wireless router
To set up the wireless router you will need to connect it to a PC using a wired
LAN connection to access its setup menus. Follow the instructions provided
by the wireless router manufacturer.
You may need to change the router IP address. It must be compatible with
the iLive network. The default IP addresses assigned to the iLive System are
as follows:
- Default MixRack IP address = 192.168.1.1
- Default Surface IP address = 192.168.1.2
- Default TouchScreen IP address = 192.168.1.3
- Default xDR-16 Expander address = 192.168.1.20
- Default Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Therefore, to avoid conflict with the iLive hardware you must give your
wireless router a unique but
compatible IP address , for example
192.168.1.254 with Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0. Some routers come with a
default address of 192.168.1.1 which must be changed before they are
plugged in as this is the same as the MixRack and will cause a conflict.
Others may have a default address that is not compatible and must be
changed, for example 192.168.2.1. Some may already be compatible, for
example 192.168.1.254.
Make sure the router is set for
DHCP so that it automatically allocates a
compatible IP address to your iPad. We recommend an address allocation
range of 192.168.1.100 to 200 to avoid conflict with the static addresses of the
iLive.
Wireless security is recommended. To prevent other people accessing your
Wi-Fi we recommend you enable WPA/WPA2 encryption during router setup.
A wireless key (password) will need to be set up. Make a note of this as it will
be needed later. MAC address filtering is another method that can be used to
increase security.
A note should also be made of the
SSID . This is the name broadcast by the
wireless router to help identify it in the network list you will see in the iPad
Settings Wi-Fi page. If you want you can change the SSID to help you
differentiate it from other wireless networks in the area.
After setup, the wireless router can be connected to any NETWORK socket at
the iLive MixRack or Surface using a CAT 5 cable.
