Module options - System
CPU module
Provides the control interface to the MixRack. This module is
identified as the ‘iDR RACK CPU’. It is not interchangeable
with the iLive Surface CPU module.
Power ON Blue LEDs display the power supply status.
One or two power supply modules may be fitted to the
MixRack. The second provides dual supply redundancy.
12V LAMP Plug in a standard 4-pin XLR gooseneck
console lamp to illuminate the rack while plugging up in a
dark environment. We recommend you use the Allen &
Heath LEDlamp with long life white LED bulbs and built-in
dimmer.
NETWORK A 3 port Ethernet switch is built in. This lets
you connect several network devices to the MixRack, for
example an iLive Surface and a laptop running the iLive
Editor software. The yellow Lnk/Act indicators flash to
indicate network data activity.
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.
Reset A recessed switch lets you reset the network address
and settings to factory default. This is useful if you are using
a MixRack and a Surface with unknown network addresses
or which had different addresses previously set. Resetting
each networked device (MixRack, 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 15 seconds while the rack boots. Default
settings are:
IP address 192.168.1.1 (MixRack)
192.168.1.2 (Surface)
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.254
MIDI IN, THRU and OUT - Standard MIDI interface for
external system control using MIDI messages.
PL-Anet - Proprietary RS485 based control port for
connecting Allen & Heath PL Series remote controllers such
as wall plates, GPIO and fader/encoder panels.
