CONNECT DEVICES

The ZoneX DSP processor and other control units utilise a network-based infrastructure and are set up and controlled by a computer and the Xilica Designer software.

REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION

  • Computer
  • Network interface (router, PoE switch)
  • A router is required for IP assignment and fast, simple connection to your computer and connected control units. A PoE switch is required for control units without a local power supply.
  • Ethernet cable. All wired connections are made via standard RJ45 Ethernet cables (Cat 5e or better).

A NETWORK CONNECTION BETWEEN THE HOST COMPUTER AND THE ZONEX PROCESSOR CAN BE ESTABLISHED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

ROUTER WITH ACTIVATED DHCP SERVER (RECOMMENDED)
When using a router with an activated DHCP server, the ZoneX processor automatically obtains the IP address during start-up as soon as a connection is established. If additional control units/controllers from other manufacturers are integrated into the network, the use of a router and PoE switch is recommended. This combination provides a DHCP server and also enables the power supply to the connected devices. We recommend the use of Linksys routers and Netgear switches.
Note: Routers/switches with an activated DHCP server should always be switched on first and all Ethernet cables should be connected to the hardware before the connected hardware is switched on. This ensures that the IP addresses can always be assigned correctly.LD-Systems-ZONE-X-1212-LD-ZONE-1212,-LDZONEX1212D-Hybrid-Architecture-DSP-Matrix- (5)

  • Switch on the router/switch first.
  • Then connect the host computer to the router (DHCP activated) via an Ethernet cable.
  • Connect the router to the ZoneX processor using an Ethernet cable.
  • Connect the ZoneX processor to the power supply and switch it on.

NON-DHCP-BASED DIRECT CONNECTION OR INDIRECT CONNECTION VIA ETHERNET SWITCH
If the processor is connected directly to a computer or indirectly via a switch and no DHCP server is available, the connection cannot be established automatically.
Non-DHCP-based connections must therefore be configured manually. Further information can be found in the Xilica Designer help file or in the LD Systems ZoneX FAQ.
