The HUB 4000 Q is a HiQnet™ network interface designed by AKG for controlling up to eight AKG

devices from a single computer. The required System Architect™ software developed by Harman Pro is

available as a free download from www.harmanpro.com/hiqnet or www.akg.com/hiqnet. These websites

also list system requirements and provide information on the latest updates of System Architect™.

For larger systems with more than eight AKG devices, you can use commercial switches (Ethernet hubs,

routers, network interface cards, etc.) to daisy-chain the required number of HUB 4000 Qs.

You can use the HUB 4000 Q as a standalone unit or install it in a 19" rack using the supplied rack mount-

ing kit.*

Check that the packaging contains all of the components listed above. Should anything be missing,

please contact your AKG dealer.

Note:

Warning!

ON/OFF: Switches power to the unit on and off. The status LED next to the ON/OFF key will be lit green

to indicate power is on.

HiQnet LINK: This green LED will be lit constantly to indicate the unit is connected to a HiQnet™ net-

work.

HiQnet DATA: This green LED will flash to indicate the unit is receiving or sending data.

DATA TRANSFER TO AKG DEVICE 1-8: These blue LEDs indicate the status of data exchange between

the HUB 4000 Q and the AKG devices connected to it. Each LED is assigned to one of the rear panel

AKG NETWORK DEVICES 1 through 8 data ports.

Each LED indicates the following conditions:

LED flashing: Data is being exchanged between the assigned data port on the HUB 4000 Q and the

connected AKG device.

LED flashing slowly (approx. once every 3 seconds): There is a communication problem between the

assigned data port on the HUB 4000 Q and the connected AKG device (hard or software error, defec-

tive data cable, etc.).

LED is dark: No AKG device is connected to the assigned data port or the connection has been inter-

rupted.

HiQnet LINK: This RJ 45 socket accepts the connecting cable to the computer.

• The connecting cable is not supplied with the euiqpment. To connect the equipment directly to a com-

puter, use a crossover Ethernet cable. To connect the equipment to a standard Ethernet hub, use a

straight-through Ethernet cable.

AKG NETWORK DEVICES 1-8: RJ 11 sockets for connecting up to eight AKG devices (e.g., SR 4000

receivers.

12 V/500 mA: Locking DC input for connecting the included power supply (12 VDC, 500 mA).

Operate the equipment with the included power supply with an output voltage of 12 VDC,

500 mA only. Using adapters with an AC output and/or a different output voltage may

cause serious damage to the unit.

Important!

Prior to setting up the unit, check that the AC mains voltage stated on the included power

supply is identical to the AC mains voltage available where you will use your system.

Using the power supply with a different AC voltage may cause damage to the unit.

• Although the equipment will operate on both 10-Mbit and 100-Mbit networks, we recommend using

a 100-Mbit network.

1. Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the HUB 4000 Q to a computer.

2. Connect the HiQnet LINK socket on the HUB 4000 Q to a network input on the computer or network

card. (For details refer to the manual of your computer.)

A single HUB 4000 Q allows you to control up to eight AKG devices from a computer. You can use one

or more commercial switches (Ethernet hubs, routers, etc.) to daisy-chain several HUB 4000 Qs and con-

trol the entire setup from the computer.

1. Connect the switch to the computer referring to the manual(s) of the swiwtch and/or computer.

2. Plug a straight-through network cable into the HiQnet LINK socket of each HUB 4000 Q.

3. Plug the other end of each network cable to an unused output on (one of) your switch.

1. Be sure not to use any cables other than the supplied data cables with RJ 11 connectors.

2. Connect the data port on each AKG device to one of the AKG NETWORK DEVICES sockets nos. 1 to

8 on the HUB 4000 Q rear panel.

1. Check that the AC mains voltage stated on the included power supply is identical to the AC

mains voltage available where you will use your system. Using the power supply with a differ-

ent AC voltage may cause damage to the unit.

2. Plug the DC cable on the included power supply into the 12 V/500 mA socket on the HUB 4000 Q rear

panel and screw down the DC connector.

3. Plug the power cable on the power supply into a convenient power outlet.

1. To switch power to the unit on, press the ON/OFF key.

The status LED next to the ON/OFF key will be lit, the blue DATA TRANSFER TO AKG DEVICE LEDs

will illuminate starting from the center and extinguish to indicate the unit is initialized and ready to

operate.

2. To switch power to the unit off, press the ON/OFF key again.

1. Make sure that a functioning network card is installed in your computer.

2. Install System Architect™ on your computer by following the installation instructions that come with

in the download.

3. Make all data and network connections.

4. Connect all AKG devices connected to your network to power.

5. Switch power to all AKG devices on your network on.

6. Turn off all firewall and/or proxy software that may be running on your computer. This is

absolutely necessary because this type of software may interfere with data communications

within the HiQnet™ network.

7. Start System Architect™.

System Architect™ and the HUB 4000 Q support DHCP (Dynamic Host configuration Protocol). This

means that System Architect™ will automatically assign an unambiguous TCP/IP address to the net-

work card and to each AKG device on your network. Therefore, you do not need to assign address-

es manually.

1. Disconnect the power supply from the power outlet.

2. Use a cloth moistened (not wet!) with water to clean the surfaces of the equipment.

Never use caustic or scouring cleaners or cleaning agents containing alcohol or solvents

since these may damage the enamel or plastic parts.
