I am using a iLive T-112 and iDR-48. I am trying to get the network settings all worked out and am having the following problem:
If I connect both the surface and mixrack to the router I lose connection between the two. If I connect just one of those items the connection between the two stays.
I am trying to run editor with an “Online Mixrack and Surface” setting, but cannot do that unless both are on the network.
I have set all the ip addresses for the router mixrack and surface to the specs suggested by A&H. I have a cat-5 between the ACE ports on the mixrack and surface, and cat-5 connections from the network port on the surface and the mixrack.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Do you have an ethernet cable connected between the ACE ports of the mixrack and surface?

If this is a wi-fi router connection then ……as both the surface and the mixrack are joined through ACE (as they should) they are both already on the network …….and accessible….I found that ip addresses are best left to the default (at least when you’re troubleshooting a new wireless network with iLive) best to change the ip in the computer(s) although with a mac (pc also perhaps) , as long as the surface and the rack are booted up and running its all done automatically (automatic ip selection) Can you get the editor to communicate at all??

2011/01/18 at 11:02 pm #27071I do have an ethernet cable connected between the ACE ports on the mixrack and surface. I have not changed any of the IP settings on the surface, the mixrack or the touchscreen. I left all of those at the default settings and changed the ip address on the router. My computer selects an ip address automatically, and does not conflict with the ones issued to the mixrack and surface.
Ray… it is a wifi router and I have the mixrack plugged into the router. With the editor I can set up a session for “Online Mixrack” but not one for “Online Surface & Mixrack” It seems like they should both be on the network because of the ACE as you mentioned, but they do not seem to both be accessible.
Is there a suggestion as to which is better to connect to the router… the mixrack or the surface?

2011/01/18 at 11:18 pm #27073You only need one CAT5 network connection to your router – from either a mixrack OR surface network port. The network is linked already over ACE. Your computer can then either connect wirelessly or by another CAT5 to the router or an ilive network port.

Sean, what happens when you select “Online surface and mixrack”?

2011/01/20 at 2:03 pm #27088I believe the issue is resolved. I am able to connect to “Online Surface and Mixrack” with the mixrack alone connected to the router. I can do the same with the surface alone connected to the router, but if I lose power to the surface that loses the connection (obviously) wanting to run editor as a redundant backup it seems will work with only the mixrack connected.
Thank you all for your help.

That is how it should be!

Sean, there seems to be some confusion about your setup……
When physically connected through ACE, both the surface and the mixrack are on a network!!!! if you put the router at the mixrack (that’s a good place) you can have a redundant editor session…..it is strongly suggested in the A&H docs not to use ACE and network connections between surface and mixrack at the same time……so, if you have ACE connected, then that would give you audio and control from the surface .if you only connect through the network ports (not ACE) then your surface has control only, no audio passes to the surface, no dsp is used by the surface i/o………You must remember that ACE is both a network link+audio….so you don’t want that connected twice…..even with a wireless router……The redundant editor backup runs either way, to the surface or to the rack………RayS
