Annex A: IP management and recovery

Through Armonía Pro Audio Suite you can easily set the IP
configuration of your M Series amplifiers as long as they are in
DHCP or are configured with a static IP on the same Armonía
subnet (see Section 10.1). It may happen that a static IP in a
different subnet with respect to Armonía has been assigned
to your M Series HDSP+ETH amplifier (i.e. 10.0.x.y versus
169.254.x.y): if this is the case Armonía does not recognize the
amplifier. You have to reset the IP configuration of your M Series
HDSP+ETH amplifier.
In order to reset the IP configuration of your M Series
HDSP+ETH amplifier outside the Armonía environment, follow
next instruction.
A.1 Setting an IP policy on Adau based devices
with an external Lantronix tool
M Series HDSP+ETH amplifiers come with one rear RJ45 port
for remote device communication, using the IP layer and the UDP
protocol. Factory default settings are DHCP/AutoIP, but a fixed IP
policy can also be adopted.
A.1.1

Reset IP configuration

Adau based devices can be set up with a static IP (or any other
IP policy) with an external software programmer provided by
Lantronix™. In order to set up the IP address please follow the
following steps:
1. Download and install the DeviceInstaller™ software from the
Lantronix Web Site on your PC. Please refer to Lantronix
documentation.
2. Connect the device to your PC.
3. Shutdown any M Series client (Armonía or third-party client).
4. Launch the program: it should automatically scan your
network. If not, manually initiate the scan by clicking the
Search button.

NOTE: Due to the fact that the Lantronix configurator uses
the Etherner layer no IP set up is necessary.
All the available Lantronix-based devices should appear (see
FIGURE A.4). Please note that devices that are not compatible
with the IP network mask of your network interface should
appear too due to the fact that the Lantronix Confgiurator uses
the Ethernet stack.
WARNING! Make sure that the only connected Lantronix-
based devices are M Series units. Any third-party device
Powersoft will be not responsible for any damage suffered by
third-party products equipped with Lantronix hardware.
5. Select the device whose IP address policy you want to set and
6. Follow the Device Installer wizard. Any kind of IP policy can
