NETWORK ADDRESS menu page
It is possible to connect up to 253 LA4 or LA8 amplified controllers in multiple network topologies via the proprietary
L-NET network. Each controller has to be identified within the network by its IP address (see note below) typically of
the format 192.168.1.XXX.
To change the value of the last 3 digits of the IP address (the other digits are fixed and cannot be changed) follow this
procedure (see also Figure 22):
1. Select the NETWORK ADDRESS menu page by rotating the encoder wheel and press the OK key or the
encoder wheel (or press the ESC key to cancel and return to the last menu).
2. Select the desired value (from 1 to 253) by turning the encoder wheel. Press the OK key or the encoder wheel
to validate your setting (or press the ESC key to cancel and return to the last menu).
!
3. The new IP address won't be effective until the LA8 has been rebooted. In order to do so, switch
the controller off by pressing the On/Off switch, wait 30 sec for the turn-off sequence to be
completed and restart the controller.
IMPORTANT
As an example, in the Figure 22 the IP address 192.168.1.110 will change to 192.168.1.123 after the controller has been
rebooted.
Note: The IP address is a unique Internet Protocol address to identify each controller within the network. One of
these IP addresses has to be allocated to the network card of the remote master PC running LA NETWORK
MANAGER. L-ACOUSTICS
INPUT MODE menu page
The INPUT MODE menu page is for selecting the input source, either ANALOG or DIGITAL when the optional
L-DGA card (digital audio network) is fitted.
!
This option will be available as a future development.
IMPORTANT
DELAY UNIT menu page
The DELAY UNIT menu page is for selecting whether the delay is displayed in milliseconds, feet or meters. To change
this setting, follow this procedure:
1. Select the DELAY UNIT menu page by rotating the encoder wheel and press the OK key or the encoder
wheel (or press the ESC key to cancel and return to the last menu).
2. Select the desired unit (ms, feet, or meters) by turning the encoder wheel. Press the OK key or the encoder
wheel to validate your setting (or press the ESC key to cancel and return to the last menu).
As an example, in the Figure 22 the delay unit has been changed from millisecond to meter.
LA8_UM_ML_1.2
® recommends using the last available IP address (192.168.1.254) for the PC Network card.
