iLive in hire stock
If you have several iLive
MixRacks and Surfaces in rental stock we recommend:
-
Keep
your iLive firmware and Editor software up to
date. Check
the Allen &
Heath web site for the
latest version. If your customer wants to use their own laptop with iLive make sure
they have the latest version of Editor software installed, and that their laptop meets the
minimum system requirements.
Note - With the release of firmware V1.9 it is important
that all your iLive hardware, Editor software and MixPad/Tweak apps are updated to this or
the latest version available. V1.8 and V1.9 are not compatible.
-
Give
each MixRack and Surface a unique name if your systems are likely to
be linked on the same
iLive network or in
Dual-Rack mode.
-
Reset or
configure the network IP addresses before systems are shipped. Make sure each MixRack
has a unique IP address if they are to be linked on the same iLive network or in
Dual-Rack mode.
-
Create your
own User Shows as templates for different applications. You can use
the factory Template Shows with a default reset Scene as a starting point. Set the
user preferences in a way that will suit your customers.
-
Back up your
template Shows and
important User Shows transferring them via USB key to your PC.
-
Back up your
systems, files and information with redundant power supplies, spare
cables, firmware and file archives, using Editor and more.
-
Check that
systems are complete before shipping. Ensure all connecting cables, lamps, covers and
accessories are packed. If you are bridging the network over ACE make sure the
short CAT5 bridge cables are plugged in. Load in a starting point Show for the
user. Set MixRacks as MASTER or SLAVE according to required application. A previous user
may have changed mode when linking or expanding systems. Check that systems will connect
before sending them out.
-
Provide a link to the
Getting
Started Guides for
customers new to iLive.
