System connection
Connect the IP6 to a dLive / Avantis / AHM Network port using a CAT5 cable up to 100m
long.
Power up the IP6 by plugging the external PSU into the DC In socket. The port Lnk/Err
indicator flashes at a steady rate when the link is established. The unit Name and IP
address are displayed on the LCD Displays for easy identification of the unit. After a
few seconds the IP6 will display the assignments and functions if any have been set
for the unit.
If the firmware in a connected IP Remote Controller is not
the same version as that in the mixing system, then the host
mixer or processor will automatically update the IP firmware at
power up.

Ethernet Switch
For parallel connection of multiple IP Remote Controllers you can use a standard
Ethernet switch.
For PoE (Power over Ethernet) either of the two standards
802.3af (15.4W at source) or 802.3at (25.5W at source) is
suitable. Check that the overall power rating is enough to
provide for all IP Remote Controllers you wish to connect
(allow 10W per IP6 unit).
