Connecting the ALX to PANC software
Connect your computer to the Ethernet port “DATA-IN” of the ALX using a
standard CAT-5 cable.
Connections to more ALX speaker are made using “DATA-THRU” going to the
next ALX speaker.
For having more than two devices in a network and using DANTE as
audio transmission the use of the IP switch is strongly recommended.
Factory default setting of ALX is set to a fixed IP-address
192.168.10.10
Set your network-adapter at your PC to a fixed IP-address in the range:
192.168.10 XX (without using 10)

DANTE:
Please notice:
Factory default setting for the DANTE card is “DHCP”, DANTE does not
have a fixed IP-address.
You can change the
network settings for
the DANTE-cards using
the software “DANTE
controller”, that is
available from
Audinate-website.
With the DANTE-
controller you can
assign the DANTE-
signals to the DANTE
receivers. Each Aimline
ALX offers two DANTE-
inputs.
In DANTE controller
you can also change
the network settings
for the DANTE cards
from DHCP to a fixed IP address. Notice that this range has to be separated
from the range of the PANC range.
