SteffenRParticipantThe problem only occurs during the shows? Maybe something changes in your house at showtime that affects the networks…
Some RF or power related things…

ParticipantThe ACE link between surface and mixrack and from mixrack to mixrack is a hard patch. There are no switches or other network devices in line (Although A&H documentation does say that switches in line are acceptable for greater distances). We use these consoles in a permanently installed environment. We can’t wire it up like a touring rig. We have had them all networked with the rest of our production equipment since we got them 3 years ago.

StealthModeratorHi PeterM

Sam, I contacted American Music and Sound by phone, should I be going through https://allen-heath.helpserve.com/ instead?Your first port of call should be America Music And Sound as they are the US distributor for A&H and deal with all technical support in the US. If the problem is unable to be resolved by AM&S then they will be in direct contact with A&H UK to help resolve the issue asap.

2 iPads 3s w/ MixPadThe Cat 5 cable is “mission critical”, I would make sure I used a cable that complies with AH’s specification. I would not put anything else other than the iLive on that network cable. (Even if it worked OK)
FWIW – I have had an issue where I left about 5m of unterminated Cat 5 plugged in to the rack. There was enough noise introduced into the system to stop things working properly.

PS – I would try hooking it up like a “touring rig” (as a test), and see if you have a problem.

clarocqueParticipantDid you ever resolve this?
2013/01/15 at 3:02 pm #32671ParticipantWe went through a lot of troubleshooting including a hard reset using the dip switches on the back of the console, but could never isolate the problem. The infrequency of the issue made it impossible to figure out. A&H ended up sending us a replacement surface (t112) and master mixrack (idr32). We haven’t had a problem since the replacement, and the rest of our setup is the same as its always been. This leads me to believe the most likely suspect was something wrong with the master mixrack. From what I understand this is an incredibly rare issue. Only a couple people I talked had heard of it happening before.

Is there a preventative measure for this?
