1 Installation
STEP 1
Plug a standard (straight) network cable (f, not included)
into the network port (G) of the Exstreamer and the
other end into your hub or switch. You can also use a
crossover network cable (not included) for a direct
connection to your PC.
STEP 2
i) Plug standard headphones or the earphone (d, not
included) into the headphone output (D) and put it in
your ear.
ii) Plug the RCA cable (c) into the LINE OUT outputs
(E) and connect the cable to inputs of your mixing
console or monitoring device.
STEP 3
Connect the Power supply (b) to the device (socket H)
and then to an appropriate electrical outlet.
STEP 4
i) The Exstreamer will now acquire an IP address and
announce it over the audio outputs (if no DHCP
server is available this can take up to 5 minutes).
ii) If you did not connect any audio outputs in step 2,
either see the next page for the ARP command
procedure, or use the “Barix Discovery Tool” Java
application (download the latest version from
www.barix.com) on your computer (Windows, Mac
or Linux) and click the “Get” button to find out which
IP address the device has obtained (see picture at the
bottom of the page). Make sure that the Ethernet
address (MAC) matches your device (see label on the
bottom of the device).
Now that you know the IP address proceed to the next
section “Network configuration by web browser”.
If you were not able to obtain the device’s current
IP address with the previous steps see section
”Troubleshooting”.
2 Network configuration
by web browser
Most Barix applictaions require no configuration but use
DHCP to configure network settings dynamically.
If you need to use static (fixed) network settings follow
steps 1 to 3, otherwise continue from step 4.
STEP 1
Open your web browser.
STEP 2
Enter the IP address that was announced by the Exstreamer
and press Enter. Example: 192.168.0.12 Click on the
Configuration button, then on Advances Settings/Network.
STEP 3
In order to make the application work the following parameters
must be set (check with your network administrator):

STEP 4
To complete the application setup, download the firmware
documentation from www.barix.com. Download the
product manual for additional information about the hard-
ware installation, technical and mechanical details
as well as instructions on updating or changing the loaded
application firmware.

3 Setting temporary IP address
using ARP command
This procedure will work only in a local network.
After this procedure the temporary IP will be active
only until restart/reboot. After a restart the procedure
has to be repeated.
STEP 1
Either use a network cable to link the Exstreamer and
the PC directly, or connect the Exstreamer to the PC
via your network switch and power the device. Make
sure that you have a valid static IP address configured on
your PC (e.g. 192.168.0.2)

STEP 3
Please proceed to step 4 if you linked the PC directly to
the device in step 1. To ensure that you use a free IP
address (not already used by another device in the network)
please use the Ping command. To verify availability in
this example we assume the PC to have the IP address

Look for the Exstreamer’s MAC address printed on a
label on the bottom of the device (12 hex digits, separated
by a hyphen every 2 digits). Type into the windows
command window
arp -s 192.168.0.6 00-08-E1-00-B1-77
or on a OSX or Linux system type into the terminal

immediately refuse the connection on port 1, but will be
available for browser access as long as the device stays

you can revert the device to its factory defaults by
pressing the Reset button (A) until the red status LED
