The computer must be assigned an IP address (under Network Card Settings>Properties). Most
computers set TCP/IP address automatically, but Audia
devices require manual assignment.
Initially, the computer IP address should be assigned as 192.168.1.X (where range of X =
1~254). Each Audia
device must also be assigned a unique IP address (see
). The factory default IP address for all Audia devices is 192.168.1.101.
Many system designs require only a single Audia
device. These would be systems where the
number of inputs/outputs, and the amount of DSP processing, does not exceed that of a
standard configuration (see
). When a single unit is used, network considerations are
simplified. A 'non-CobraNet' unit may be used, and no Ethernet switch is required. Therefore, all
CobraNet connections, and most Ethernet connections go away, as well. The only Ethernet
connection is that between the computer and the Audia
device ('cross-over' CAT5 cable). A
'cross-over' cable is included with each Audia
device.
