1ETHERNET
Ethernet interface for controlling the installation amplifier via the free
QUESTRA software.
2STATUS
The status LED provides information about the internal integration between
the card and the main board in the IPA power amplifier (firmware compatibility,
internal communication problems):
• White flashing during start-up. The unit is loading the data for IPA.
• Permanently white: The network stack in the card is ready – The IP settings
have been configured properly.
• Permanent red – Firmware is not compatible with motherboard, problems with
network stack.
• White flashing (slow/fast) during IP reset procedure.
3IP RESET
Long press activates the IP reset procedure. Initially, the status LED flashes
slowly in white and when the button is pressed for 5 seconds, the status LED
flashes quickly to indicate that the IP reset procedure will be carried out after
the button is released.
NETWORK CONNECTION
LD Systems‘ XECI module enables remote control of compatible devices, such
as IPA series amplifiers, over the network. Once the XECI module is built into
a device, it can be connected to a network infrastructure and controlled via
a computer running LD Systems QUESTRA software.

PREREQUISITES FOR OPERATION
• Computer with QUESTRA software installed
• Network interface (router, switch) with activated multicast traffic
(activate IGMP protocol).
• Ethernet cable. Use a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable (Cat 5e or better)
for all wired connections.
FIRST STEPS
The XECI modules are delivered with a pre-configured static IP address
(192.168.0.192) as standard. To be able to recognise the unit with the Questra
software, please make sure that the IP settings of the computer on which the
Questra software is installed are configured in the same network range as the
XECI modules. See notes below.
• IP range : 192.168.0.X/24 (where X can be any value between 1 and 254,
except 192 which is already used by default by the XECI modules)
• Network mask : 255.255.255.0

Once a device with a XECI module is connected to a network and switched on,
it will appear under the AVAILABLE DEVICES section in the
ADD DEVICES field on the left. Please note that multicast traffic must be
enabled in the switch/router for the device to be detected.
Drag and drop the device into the PROJECT DEVICES area to be able to configure
it. Then click the Offline button at the top of the screen and select Download
from Devices and connect to connect to the device.
Once the unit is online, click on the unit in the PROJECT
DEVICES list and select the SETTINGS menu on the right to go
directly to the settings menu and change the IP settings of the
unit. For more details about the complete unit configuration
with the QUESTRA software, please download the latest version
from the LD Systems website (www.ld-systems.com)
to your computer and read the user manual.

QUESTRA SOFTWARE
The Questra software not only enables comprehensive configuration of
compatible devices, such as IPA Series amplifiers, but also provides integration
capabilities for third-party remote control units and allows users to create their
own custom control panels that can be controlled via the Questra remote control
apps available for iOS, Android, Windows and MAC OS.
Please download the latest version of the QUESTRA software from the LD Systems
website (www.ld-systems.com) to your computer, check the system requirements
for the software and follow the software instructions to start configuring a unit.
