Overview:

The purpose of this tech note is to provide a troubleshooting guide for the Listen
EVERYWHERE (LE) server. Most of the issues outlined are usually encountered when initially
installing the LE server or after altering a pre-existing installation of the LE server in a
significant way (i.e., installing into a different location, changing networking or audio equipment,
etc.). There may be issues or resolutions that extend beyond this document. If so, please do
not hesitate to contact Listen Technical Support using the contact information located at the
end of this document.

Unable to Perform a Successful Venue Scan:

If you are reviewing this section, you are not able to connect to the Listen EVERYWHERE server
through the Listen EVERYWHERE app using the Venue Scan option. The user will witness a 30-
second countdown timer and/or an error message. To preface, the
user must be physically present in the venue location where Listen
EVERYWHERE is installed and must be connected to the same
network. The server is not designed to stream over the internet or
traverse networks. The Venue Scan feature also requires the
allowance of particular ports and services mentioned later in this
section. If this is not desired or possible in the venue, please consult
the
Mobile App Connection Methods
connection methods.

  • Page 2: Front Power Led Is Solid

    ListenTech-Note Note: The first time the app is opened on devices running iOS 14 or higher, you will see the prompt “Listen EVERYWHERE would like to find and connect to devices on your local network. This app will be able to discover and connect to devices on the networks you use”, press “OK”. This can be changed at any time in Settings >...
  • Page 3 ListenTech-Note Network/VLAN in the Router and/or WAP configuration. • Expand the allocation of IP addresses. The network may be limited by the number of host devices that can acquire an IP address (i.e., connect to the network). This will be evident when the LE server is successfully connected to the network but only some users cannot successfully connect to the network and therefore, are unable to successfully perform a Venue Scan in the LE app.
  • Page 4: Front Power Led Is Blinking Steadily (1 Blink Per Second)

    ListenTech-Note Front Power LED is Blinking Steadily (1 Blink Per Second) This section will provide solutions in a situation where a Venue Scan will fail while the front power LED on the LE server is blinking once per second. By default, the Listen EVERYWHERE server is designed to acquire an IP address automatically from a DHCP server.
  • Page 5: Server Is Unable To Connect To Cloud Services

    ListenTech-Note Server is Unable to Connect to Cloud Services: If you are reviewing this section, you are able to successfully connect to the Listen EVERYWHERE server through the Listen EVERYWHERE app. However, the Listen EVERYWHERE server is not able to communicate with Cloud Services and appears to be offline. •...
  • Page 6 ListenTech-Note • Do not use a mesh network. A mesh network is comprised of multiple nodes that communicate with each other to provide wireless access to a single network. These nodes may also be called points or extenders. You may also think of these nodes as being wirelessly daisy-chained to one another.
  • Page 7: No Audio Or Partial Audio

    ListenTech-Note • Set a static channel on the wireless access point(s). Many WAPs can automatically change channels to try and find one with the least interference. This feature can cause audio dropouts each time the channel changes, as often as every 20 seconds. If it does not settle on a channel after 30-60 minutes, it may be best to choose a channel manually.
  • Page 8 ListenTech-Note input on the right (LW-100P only). The LW-150 Dante connection handles both mono and stereo with the same connection. Refer to Figure 3 below. Figure 3: Listen EVERYWHERE audio input connections • Verify that audio cables being used are working properly or have been properly assembled.
  • Page 9 Do not attempt to stream audio across different networks. Attempting to stream across different networks will likely end up producing no audio within the Listen EVERYWHERE app. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please contact Listen Technologies’ Technical Services team at 1-800-330-0891 or support@listentech.com for assistance.
