Prior to setting up the unit, check that the AC mains voltage stated on the included power
supply is identical to the AC mains voltage available where you will use your system.
Using the power supply with a different AC voltage may cause damage to the unit.
• Although the equipment will operate on both 10-Mbit and 100-Mbit networks, we recommend using
a 100-Mbit network.
1. Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the HUB 4000 Q to a computer.
2. Connect the HiQnet LINK socket on the HUB 4000 Q to a network input on the computer or network
card. (For details refer to the manual of your computer.)
A single HUB 4000 Q allows you to control up to eight AKG devices from a computer. You can use one
or more commercial switches (Ethernet hubs, routers, etc.) to daisy-chain several HUB 4000 Qs and con-
trol the entire setup from the computer.
1. Connect the switch to the computer referring to the manual(s) of the swiwtch and/or computer.
2. Plug a straight-through network cable into the HiQnet LINK socket of each HUB 4000 Q.
3. Plug the other end of each network cable to an unused output on (one of) your switch.
1. Be sure not to use any cables other than the supplied data cables with RJ 11 connectors.
2. Connect the data port on each AKG device to one of the AKG NETWORK DEVICES sockets nos. 1 to
8 on the HUB 4000 Q rear panel.
1. Check that the AC mains voltage stated on the included power supply is identical to the AC
mains voltage available where you will use your system. Using the power supply with a differ-
ent AC voltage may cause damage to the unit.
2. Plug the DC cable on the included power supply into the 12 V/500 mA socket on the HUB 4000 Q rear
panel and screw down the DC connector.
3. Plug the power cable on the power supply into a convenient power outlet.
1. To switch power to the unit on, press the ON/OFF key.
The status LED next to the ON/OFF key will be lit, the blue DATA TRANSFER TO AKG DEVICE LEDs
will illuminate starting from the center and extinguish to indicate the unit is initialized and ready to
operate.
2. To switch power to the unit off, press the ON/OFF key again.
1. Make sure that a functioning network card is installed in your computer.
2. Install System Architect™ on your computer by following the installation instructions that come with
in the download.
3. Make all data and network connections.
4. Connect all AKG devices connected to your network to power.
5. Switch power to all AKG devices on your network on.
6. Turn off all firewall and/or proxy software that may be running on your computer. This is
absolutely necessary because this type of software may interfere with data communications
within the HiQnet™ network.
7. Start System Architect™.
System Architect™ and the HUB 4000 Q support DHCP (Dynamic Host configuration Protocol). This
means that System Architect™ will automatically assign an unambiguous TCP/IP address to the net-
work card and to each AKG device on your network. Therefore, you do not need to assign address-
es manually.
1. Disconnect the power supply from the power outlet.
2. Use a cloth moistened (not wet!) with water to clean the surfaces of the equipment.
Never use caustic or scouring cleaners or cleaning agents containing alcohol or solvents
since these may damage the enamel or plastic parts.
