iLive Reference Guide – Firmware Part 2 - 91 AP6526-2 iss.4
Connecting a laptop running iLive Editor
A laptop running Editor can control the iLive using a wired or wireless
connection to any iLive NETWORK port.
Wired - Plug a standard CAT5 network cable between the laptop
Network port and any iLive NETWORK socket.
Wireless - Plug a wireless router (wireless access point) into any
iLive NETWORK socket using a CAT5 cable. Use the laptop Wireless
connection to connect to the iLive via the router.
Note: If you have problems connecting, check that the required
connection is enabled or try disabling all other network connections
on your laptop.
Network settings Check that all devices on the iLive network
have compatible IP addresses.
Wireless routers have an IP address to identify them on the network.
This address is also used to access their settings. Some routers
default to 192.168.1.1 which conflicts with the default iLive MixRack
address. In this case change the address of the router before
plugging it in. Its address must be 192.168.1.nnn where nnn is the
unique address number different to that of the iLive and other devices
on the network. Refer to your wireless router guide for setup
instructions, and to the table below for the default iLive addresses.
DHCP addressing is recommended for operation with the iLive.
Most wireless routers have DHCP enabled by default. Check that the
DHCP address range (scope) is restricted to avoid conflict with the
iLive and other connected devices with static IP addresses. Refer to
the recommended settings in the table below. Your laptop will be set
for DHCP to automatically receive its address from the router.
Static addressing If you have problems with your router and laptop
set to DHCP then try using static IP addressing, but only for stand
alone systems not connected to a larger network. Set your router and
laptop wired or wireless connection for static addressing and allocate
compatible IP addresses. Refer to the table here.
Security We strongly recommend that you enable Wireless Security
on your router to prevent unauthorised access. By enabling
WPA/PSK encryption the iLive system will remain private from other
laptop users. A wireless key or passphrase will be required. Keep a
note of the wireless key entered.
SSID This is the name broadcast by the router to identify the
wireless network to the laptop. It is recommended that you set a
unique SSID using the router setup menu to help differentiate
between the wireless networks seen by the laptop.
Working with Wifi Position the wireless router within its
specified operating range from the laptop. For best performance
keep it in line of sight of the laptop. The wireless connection may run
slower or you may lose connection if the signal strength is low.
Note: It can takes a minute or two for Editor to connect to iLive.
Surface operation and metering may be interrupted for brief moments
due to the increased network activity as Editor connects. Audio is not
affected. At one point the Surface may freeze for around 10 seconds.
Once connected normal Surface operation resumes.
Note: If you experience interference with the wireless signal it may be
due to another wireless router operating in the local area on the same
frequency. In this case access the router setup menu and change its
wireless frequency (channel).
For information on using Editor refer to the Help manual within Editor.
