The LiveCore™ Output Expander uses standard
ethernet LAN networking. To connect the LiveCore™
Output Expander, you rst need to connect it to
the same network than your SmartMatriX Ultra or
Ascender 16 and your computer. To be sure it is on the
same network than your computer, open an internet
browser which supports Flash® player.
Into this internet browser, please enter the IP address
of the LiveCore™ Output Expander displayed on the
front panel screen.
The connecon should start.
Oen, computers are set to DHCP client (automac
IP detecon) mode. You may need to change the
IP address conguraon on your computer before
you can connect. These sengs are found in the
properes for your LAN network adaptor, and vary by
operang system.
The default IP address on the LiveCore™ Output
Expander is 192.168.2.140 with a netmask of
255.255.255.0. Therefore, you can assign your
computer a stac IP address of 192.168.2.100 and
a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and should be able to
connect.
If the connecon is not starng, please see:
• Be sure the computer IP address is on the same
network and subnet as the LiveCore™ Output
Expander.
• Be sure that no two devices have the same IP
address (prevent IP conicts)
• Check your network cable. You will need a crossover
ethernet cable if you are connecng directly from
the LiveCore™ Output Expander to the computer.
If a hub or switch is involved, use straight ethernet
cables.
• For more informaon, please see the user manual
or contact your local technical support.
Once you have successfully connected, the ash
app will automacally download and launch in your
browser. When the two icons in the boom right
corner of the screen turn green, the Web RCS is ready
to use. If you are having trouble syncronizing, try
clearing the cache and refreshing the page (ctrl+F5 in
most browsers):
- LOE016: will turn green when connected
-   will turn green when the Web RCS has
nished syncronizing.
CAUTION!
Mounng using only the front
rack ears is sucient for xed
installaons. Addional support,
such as the rear rack support or
slide rails, is required for mobile
applicaons, and recommended
for all.
