2: Operation Via the 8x8's Front Panel • 5

Version 2.0, February, 2007

Chapter Two:

Operation via the 8x8 node’s

front panel

Here we cover everything you need to know to cre-

ate a simple Livewire snake using only the unit’s front

panel.

Conﬁguration & Testing

Basic conﬁguration of the Livewire node can be per-

formed from the front panel. In addition, the system can

be conﬁgured over the network by using a web browser

accessing the node’s built in web server, see section 3

Advanced Programming.

Powering up

When the Livewire node is powered on, you should

observe the following: The 4 LED indicators should il

luminate brieﬂy, and the LED meter display will display

a screen test. Next, you should see the node’s name dis

played (default name is “LiveIO”). After a brief period

of time, you will see the normal front panel bargraph

meter display (see section 1, above).

Restoring Defaults

To restore the Livewire node to the default settings

follow the steps below:

Power the node OFF.

Depress and hold the SELECT and ID buttons.

Power ON the unit while continuing to hold the

above buttons.

After about 8 seconds will see the word “RESET 3

S” displayed. If you release the buttons within 3 sec

onds no changes will occur. If you continue to hold

the buttons after 3 seconds the default settings will

be set and “REBOOT” will be displayed. At this time

release the SELECT and ID buttons.

Bench Testing

Two Livewire nodes may be connected together in

“Point to point” mode (e.g. Ethernet snake mode) to ver-

ify operation of the units. When connected in this way

the audio fed to “input 1” of “node A” will be output on

“output 1” of “node B” whereas the audio on “input 1” of

“node B” will be output on “output 1” of “node A”. Like-

wise, the other inputs for the two nodes will be mapped

correspondingly. To connect two units in “point to point”

fashion follows these steps:

Restore default settings on both of the Livewire nodes

to be connected. See “Restore Defaults”, above.

Enable streaming on each unit as follows: Press the

<SELECT> button repeatedly until MODE is dis-

played. Press and hold the <ID> button until a cur

sor appears under the current setting (e.g. Off). Press

<SELECT> repeatedly until SNAKE is displayed.

Press <ID> to conﬁrm your entry.

Connect the two units using a “Crossover 10/100

Base-T” Category 6 cable 100 meters maximum (see

Introduction to Livewire; System Design Reference

& Primer).

The LINK and LIVEWIRE LEDs should illuminate

on both nodes. The MASTER LED should illuminate

on one unit and the SYNC LED should illuminate on

the other unit.

The eight receive (output) meters on each of the two

units should show the lowest segment illuminated to

indicate streams are being received.

Audio may now be fed into each input and will be re

cieved on the corresponding output of the other unit.

Basic Programming - via the front panel

Basic programming of the Livewire node can be

accomplished using the front panel display and the SE

LECT and ID buttons. The node’s name and other infor-

mation can also be checked from the front panel.

Programming the unit’s IP address

Each Livewire node must have a unique IP address.

The only exception is when two nodes are connected in

the point-to-point (snake) conﬁguration.
