Mounting The L-ISA Processor II is three rack units high (3U) and can be mounted in an EIA-standard 19” rack using the four points on the front panel. Use the xing material provided by the rack manufacturer to mount L-ISA Processor II to the rack front rails.
Installation Ventilation To maintain moderate operating temperatures, L-ISA Processor II is equipped with fans and openings providing front to rear airow. Ventilation instructions Install the processor in an open area so that the front and rear panels are located at a minimum distance of 30 cm / 12 in from any external object or structure.
Installation Audio and network cabling Connection panels L-ISA Processor II features input, output, and AVB connectors on its rear panel for audio and network connection. Audio and network connectors 1. MADI inputs 2. MADI output 3. Ethernet connectors for AVB networks and remote control 4.
Installation Network conguration L-ISA Controller receives data on UDP port 8880. This is required to connect to the L-ISA Processor II, L-ISA Plugins, or any external control device (DeskLink, Trackers, OSC). For L-ISA Plugins to work, the hosting DAW and L-ISA Controller must be able to use UDP port 9438 over multicast IP address 239.255.139.81.
Do not defeat the ground connection of the supplied power cord using an adaptor or any other methods. A suitable plug must be wired to the INT power cord. Verify that the plug conforms to the specic voltage and current rating given in section Electrical specications (p.22). L-ISA Processor II owner's manual (EN) version 1.0...
For power supply redundancy, repeat the procedure with another power cord and the power supply unit (PSU) 2 socket. Power consumption L-ISA Processor II power requirement is 150 W, drawn from one of the two power supply unit (PSU) sockets. L-ISA Processor II owner's manual (EN) version 1.0...
