Installation)Guide!
Lode servers are machined from aluminium, which acts as the heat sink, eliminating noisy
fans and so increasing performance and reliability. This also means that the unit MUST HAVE
airflow both above and beneath for optimum cooling levels. Failure to provide may result in
the unit overheating and degrading performance.
On Boot, Lode severs will perform a number of checks over the internet to configure itself and
check for updates. Please allow a couple of minutes for unit/s to complete checks prior to
playing audio streams otherwise it may result in playback of multiple zones being out of sync.
Checklist
Internet access is required for all units to operate normally, even if only local is used.
Check “system maintenance” section of the web console and apply any pending updates to
the server/s.
Web$Configuration!
All Lode Server settings are configured via the Admin Web Console. To access the web
console, you will need to know the IP address of the Lode unit.
By default the unit ships with DHCP enabled.
Lode units can be discovered on the network using the Lode admin tool downloaded from
http://www.lodeaudio.com.
If you don’t have admin tool installed, you will need to ascertain it’s IP address via the DHCP
sever.
Click on listed sever to access the web console.
Example: http://192.168.10.100 where 192.168.10.100 is the address provided to the Lode
server.
It is recommended that each unit is set-up fully before adding others to the network
