Frequently Asked Questions - IP8 ALLEN & HEATH
How do I connect the IP8 to my dLive console?
Connect the IP8 to an Ethernet port on your network switch that is on the same subnet as your dLive console. The IP8 will automatically discover and connect to the console if DHCP is enabled. Alternatively, assign a static IP to the IP8 via its network settings.
Can the IP8 be powered by PoE?
Yes, the IP8 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard IEEE 802.3af Class 3. Ensure your switch provides PoE. It can also be powered via the 2.1 mm DC jack (12-24V DC) if PoE is not available.
How do I update the firmware on the IP8?
Download the latest firmware from the Allen & Heath website. Connect the IP8 to a computer via Ethernet, set its IP to a static address (or use DHCP), then use the Allen & Heath Firmware Manager application to upload the new firmware.
Can I customize the key functions on the IP8?
Yes, the IP8 allows full customization of the 32 assignable keys. Using the console's software (e.g., dLive Director or AHM), you can assign various actions, such as mute, solo, scene recall, and more, to each key.
What is the maximum number of IP8 units I can use with one system?
The maximum number depends on the network capacity and console capabilities. Typically, up to 8 IP8 units can be used simultaneously with a dLive console over a standard Gigabit network, ensuring sufficient bandwidth.
How do I calibrate the faders on the IP8?
Fader calibration is automatic during startup. If you notice drift, you can manually recalibrate by powering off the unit, then holding down the 'User' key while powering on. Wait for the faders to move through their full range, then release the key.
Can the IP8 be used standalone?
No, the IP8 is designed as a remote controller and requires a compatible Allen & Heath system (dLive, AHM, etc.) to function. It cannot operate independently.
What do the LED colors on the encoders mean?
The LED ring around each encoder indicates the parameter value or state. A full ring often indicates maximum value, while a single lit LED shows minimum. Color may vary based on customization: e.g., green for active, red for muted, blue for selected.
Is the IP8 compatible with other brands?
The IP8 uses the Allen & Heath IP protocol and is optimized for their ecosystem. It is not designed to work with other manufacturers' equipment unless supported via third-party protocols like MIDI over IP (limited). Generally, it is recommended for use with Allen & Heath systems.
What do I do if the IP8 is not detected by the console?
Check Ethernet cable connections and ensure both devices are on the same network subnet. Verify that DHCP is enabled or that a static IP is correctly configured. Restart both the IP8 and the console. If the issue persists, consult the network settings in the console software.
