Control Network settings
iLive uses standard TCP/IP Ethernet to control the MixRack. There are 3 network devices in a single iLive system - MixRack, Surface and TouchScreen (part of the Surface but a separate network device). Each device on the network must have a unique IP address with the same Subnet Mask.
Use Static or DHCP addressing. Working with the iLive default static IP addresses will get you going ‘out of the box’. For more complex network arrangements involving DHCP, connection via routers, servers etc we recommend that you refer to your IT administrator or a web based learning resource if you are unfamiliar with Ethernet technology.
Network setup - View and change network settings using the Surface UTLITY / Network / Network Setup screen or Editor Setup / Network menu. Touch Apply to confirm the changes.
Note - Changing network settings will reboot the system.
iLive network addresses can be reset to factory default if they have been changed or the system does not connect.
Default network addresses:
For all Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Laptop and wireless router - It is typical to set your wireless router and laptop for DHCP operation (default setting). Set the router address to be compatible with but not the same as any of those of the iLive system, and to set its DHCP address range to avoid conflict with the static addresses of the iLive, for example:
Controlling 2 iLive systems - It is possible to connect your computer to 2 iLive systems on the same network so that you can run 2 Editor sessions and switch between them, for example to control FOH and Monitor systems. Similar applies if you are connecting 2 MixRacks in Dual-Rack mode. Make sure each iLive has a unique set of addresses and Unit names. You could change the default 1.1, .1.2, .1.3 addresses of the second iLive to 1.4, 1.5, 1.6.
Unit Name - You can change the name of each MixRack and Surface to identify it in your system.
