Power
POWER INPUT Connect the IEC connector end of the supplied AC cord to the
receptacle on the rear of the 760. Connect the AC connector
end of the supplied AC cord to an AC power source that is of the
correct voltage and frequency (100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz). Use only
the power cord and connector specified for the product and your
operating locale.
When the 760 is powered up correctly, the POWER LED on the
front of the unit will be lit solid green.

When an ARC Wall Panel network is connected to the 760, the green ARC
LED on the front of the unit will be lit solid green.
WARNING: When designing an ARC network, one must be careful
not to double
power any ARCs. If all pins on the CAT5 connections are
used, power can travel over the CAT5 cable and reach any ARC on that
particular chain. Power over CAT5 could potentially come from the ARC
that is powered locally and then daisy-chained via CAT5 to other ARCs or
directly from a particular ARC’s terminal block connections. In general, we
recommend using only one type of power connection on the ARCs, either
the RJ-45s (with CAT5 cable) or the terminal blocks but not both.

Unbalanced Connections:
Unbalanced out to balanced in
The RCA connector and the 1/4” TS connector are
unbalanced connectors. However, the wiring differs
depending on if they are sending to, or receiving from a
balanced connector.
In this example, the unbalanced connector is sending signal
to a balanced connector. When wiring this connection,
use a shielded twisted pair cable. The balanced side wires
the same as a standard, balanced connection. On the
unbalanced side, you wire the white (minus) wire together
with the ground. This provides some common mode rejection
at the balanced input.
Unbalanced Connections:
Balanced out to unbalanced in
When your output requires a balanced connector, but you
are sending signal to an unbalanced input, the rules change.
Use a single strand shielded wire. Wire only to the plus and
ground terminals of what would the typically be the balanced
connector.

Integrator Series Zone Mix 760
Network Configuration
The 760 is setup and controlled by a host computer via
Ethernet. This requires the host computer to be connected
to the 760 directly via a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable,
indirectly via an Ethernet switch, or via an existing Ethernet
network.
The primary difference between the three methods of
connection is that in the first two, the 760 software
application assumes there is no DHCP server or other
network infrastructure in place. It assumes the 760 is using
a self-generated IP address and adjusts its connection steps
appropriately. In the third method, it is assumed that a DHCP
server and/or router with DHCP server are already present
on the existing network so the 760 may already have
obtained an IP address. Consult your network administrator
if in doubt.
General Notes
1. The 760 boots up with DHCP enabled by default. This
means that as soon as you connect it to a network, it will
look for a DHCP server in order to obtain an IP address. If
a DHCP server is present, the 760 will get its IP address
from it. This process may take several minutes. With your
PC attached to the same network and thus getting its IP
address from the same DHCP server, all will be ready to
go.
2. If your network does not have a DHCP server, the 760
will not be able to obtain an IP address. While waiting,
the 760 will default to a private IP address in the range
of169.254.x.xwherex.xisthelastfouralphanumeric
characters of the 760’s MAC address (MAC address hex
value is converted to decimal for IP address). The 760’s
MAC address can be found on a sticker on the bottom
of the 760 or within the front panel System menu. When
there is no DHCP server present to assign IP addresses
to either the 760 or your PC, you may need to configure
yourPCwithastaticIPintherangeof169.254.x.xwith
a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0 in order to communicate
with the 760 in a direct connect mode. However, if your
PC is using the default network settings, it should also
have automatically self-assigned a similar private IP
addressintherangeof169.254.x.x,andifthisisthe
case, you should be able to connect to the 760 directly.
Even if the PC’s default settings have been changed, the
760 will try to establish communications by setting up
appropriate routing table entries to reach devices with
169.254.x.xaddresses.
3.Inthecaseofthersttwomethods(directconnection
and indirect connection), the 760 software will attempt
to set-up appropriate routing table entries for a seamless
connection regardless of the IP addresses of your PC
and 760. However, under Windows® Vista, administrative
privileges are required to allow the 760 software to
modify the routing table. For best results, launch the 760
software while logged in as an administrator, or choose
to run the software as an administrator. Note: To run
a program as the Administrator under Vista, right click
on the program’s icon or shortcut and choose “Run as
administrator”.
4. The 760 will display its current IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway as well as other useful information
on the front panel display when in System Mode. To
enter System Mode, hold down the Menu button for 5
seconds. Then the up and down arrow keys can be used
to move between various displays. This information may
be useful for troubleshooting.
Network configuration of the 760:
Connecting to the 760 from a host computer on the
same LAN
Boththe760andthehostcomputerrequirethefollowing
3items:
1. IP Address - The unique address of a node on a network.
2. Subnet Mask - Configuration that defines which IP
Addresses are included in a particular subnet.
3.DefaultGateway(optional)-TheIPaddressofadevice
that routes traffic from one subnet to another. (This is only
needed when the PC and 760 are on different subnets).
If you are putting the 760 on an existing network, a network
administrator will be able to provide the above information or
it may have been provided automatically by a DHCP server.
For security reasons, it is not recommended to put the 760
directly on the Internet. If you do, a network administrator
or your Internet Service Provider can provide the above
information.

If you are on your own private network, directly or indirectly
connected to the 760, you may allow the 760 to choose an
automatic IP address or you may choose to assign it a static
IP address. If you are building your own separate network
with static assigned addresses, you may consider using an
IP Address from one of the ”Private-Use” networks noted in
RFC-1918:
