RX System Configuration (1 of 2)
Unit Name
Name details that you can alter to distinguish this unit from all others. The name entered here will be read by
A.I.M. units (if used) for administration purposes.
Unit Description
Allows you to add a description of the unit, such as its location. Useful when many ALIF units are being used.
System port
This section determines the IP address, netmask and gateway details for the main Gigabit Ethernet port located
on the right side of the front panel. The default IP address is 169.254.1.32 which is the zero config IP address
that allows the unit to work immediately in point-to-point mode. You are recommended to change this to an
appropriate address in the private IP range 192.168.xxx.xxx
The default netmask is 255.255.0.0. If you change the IP address to the private range, you are recommended to
change this to 255.255.255.0 The default gateway address is 169.254.1.1
Management port
Determines whether the port on the left side of the front panel is enabled and which IP address details it should
use. The default IP address is 192.168.1.42. You are recommended to leave this address unchanged (or at least keep
such addresses constant across all of your ALIF units) so that all visiting engineers will know which address to use.
Teaming port
Determines whether the SFP socket on the right side of the front panel is enabled and which IP address details
it should use. The default IP address is 169.254.1.42 which is the zero config IP address that allows the unit to
work immediately in point-to-point mode. You are recommended to change this to an appropriate address in
the private IP range 192.168.xxx.xxx The default netmask is 255.255.0.0. If you change the IP address to the
private range, you are recommended to change this to 255.255.255.0
The default gateway address is 169.254.1.1 Note: Before the Teaming port can be used for connection via a network,
you need to ensure that the System port has been configured away from its zero config IP address.
Enable options
These checkboxes allow you to determine which peripheral options will be used: Video, audio, USB and serial.
Audio Input Type
Choose 'line' for stereo line input, 'mic' for mono microphone or 'mic boost' for a mono microphone that
requires extra gain (+20dB).
Enable Video Compatibility Check (for DVI-D 1 and 2)
If enabled, this option compares the EDID reported by the PC graphics card and determines whether the
display connected to the RX is capable of displaying the chosen video resolution. If not, an error message is
generated and the connection is not made.
Identify unit
When clicked, these buttons cause the front panel indicators to flash to assist with identifying the ALIF unit
within a rack.
• The Identify Unit (short) button flashes the indicators for five seconds.
• The Identify Unit (long) button flashes the indicators for one hour. Click the (short) button to override.
