Network Setup

Use the Network Setup page to configure the IP Address and Unit Name to identify the GLD on the control network. The network IP address can be set manually or for DHCP.

Some functions of the GLD can be controlled using TCP/IP messages via the Network port. The GLD TCP/IP protocol document can be downloaded from www.allen-heath.com

Unit Name – a name with up to 16 characters can be set to identify the GLD on the network.

Static address – The IP address can be manually set using this screen. This is the default and is typical for stand-alone operation. If you are working with a wireless access point (Wi-Fi router) for remote control make sure the GLD and router have unique but compatible addresses.

Default GLD static address:

IP Address – 192.168.1 50
Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
Gateway – 192.168.1.254

DHCP – IP address allocated to the GLD by a network server. Only set this if the GLD is connected to a network or device that provides DHCP addresses.

Note If the GLD is set for DHCP operation and is powered up while it is not connected to a DHCP server/network then it can take several minutes for the system to boot while it waits for an address. After a while it will time out and boot with a default address.

* If the GLD takes a long time to boot up then check to see if the IP address is set for DHCP. If so, apply a static address.
