CONNECTING DEVICES

LD Systems ZoneX DSP processor and other control units run on a network-based infrastructure and are configured and controlled via a computer with the xilica Designer software.

PREREQUISITES FOR OPERATION

• Computer
  Network interface (router, PoE switch)

A router is required for the IP address assignment and quick and easy connection to your computer and connected control units. A PoE switch is required for control units without local power supply.

• Ethernet cable. All wired connections use a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable (Cat 5e or better).

A NETWORK CONNECTION BETWEEN HOST COMPUTER AND ZONEX PROCESSOR CAN BE CREATED AS FOLLOWS:

A. ROUTER WITH ACTIVATED DHCP SERVER (RECOMMENDED)

When using a router with an enabled DHCP server, the ZoneX processor automatically acquires the IP address during start-up, as soon as the connection exists. It is recommended to use a router and PoE switch if further control units/controllers from other manufacturers are connected to the network. This combination provides a DHCP server and also facilitates the power supply for the connected devices. We recommend using Linksys routers and Netgear switches.

Note: Routers/switches with activated DHCP server should generally be switched on first. And all Ethernet cables should be connected to the hardware before the devices are switched on. This will allow for a correct IP address assignment.

• First, turn on the router/swi tch.
• Then connect the host computer to a DHCP enabled router via an Ethernet cable.
• Connect the router to the ZoneX processor via an Ethernet cable.
• Connect the ZoneX processor to the mains and switch it on.

B. NON-DHCP-BASED DIRECT CONNECTION OR INDIRECT CONNECTION VIA ETHERNET SWITCH

If the processor is directly connected to a computer or indirectly via a switch and no DHCP server is available, the connection cannot be established automatically.

Therefore, non-DHCP-based connections must be configured manually. Further details can be found in the xilica Designer help file or in the LD Systems ZoneX FAQ.

XILICA DESIGNER SOFTWARE

The xilica Designer software not only enables a detailed configuration of the Zonex processor, but also offers access to the configuration of third-party remote control units, facilitates the management of optional Dante network devices and provides universal third-party device control integration.

STARTING THE SOFTWARE

Find the xilica Designer software on your desktop or in the application folder. Double-click the software to start it. You can now create a new design project or open a design project, start the network view, or start the Dante view.

NETWORK VIEW

The network view displays all processors and control units on the network. Here you can find device information such as connection status, computer IP address, device IP address, Mac address, device name, manufacturer and firmware version.

The connected processor(s) should be visible in network view. There is a connection status indicator in the top left corner of each device block.

Green: The device is connected and ready for operation.

Yellow: The device is connected and online but is not ready for operation. Move the cursor over the network indicator, and a pop-up window will display a message with information about the detected problem. (The message usually says that no device design is loaded).

Red: The device is not connected and is offline. There is no communication between Xilica Designer software and the device. Please check all cables and connections and make sure that the device is switched on. If the processor is performing a firmware upgrade or restarting, there may be a temporary interruption.

From time to time, you may see an exclamation mark (!). This means that a firmware upgrade is available. This does not normally require immediate intervention, but the project file does not contain updated models since the earlier firmware is not supported. Further details can be found in the Xilinx Designer help file or in the LD Systems ZoneX FAQ.

FIRMWARE UPGRADE

Please note that the use of an old software version with new firmware or the use of new software with old firmware works in principle but the range of functions may be limited or the functionality may not be optimal in all cases.

We recommend always using the latest versions of software and firmware.

Before you start, check the software and firmware versions.

To check the device's firmware version, ensure that your device is switched on and online. The network view marks devices available for a firmware upgrade with a yellow triangle using an exclamation mark. In addition, the device's firmware version is also listed in the device block for the respective device.

The current software version is displayed when you click on About in the menu in the top bar.

FIRMWARE UPGRADE PROCEDURE

Save the device's design file on your computer as all programmed data will be deleted from the device during the upgrade. When the firmware upgrade is complete, the design file can be reloaded on the device.

• The device must be online and ready for operation to perform a firmware upgrade.

The newest firmware version for the corresponding Zone X model can be downloaded from the LD Systems website (www.Id-systems.com).
- Right-click in network view on a device block and select "Firmware Upgrade".

A warning then appears that the firmware upgrade will delete all data from your device. Confirm with "OK" to continue.

A dropdown menu now appears from which you can select the desired firmware file from a file system or a firmware version previously downloaded via the "Device Firmware Manager" (in the "Device Management" menu). Confirm with "ok" and find the folder where you saved the new firmware file. Select the file and click "Open".

A status bar in the device window shows the progress of the firmware upgrade.

DO NOT SWITCH THE DEVICE OFF OR DISCONNECT IT FROM THE COMPUTER. If the device is switched off or disconnected from the computer during the firmware upgrade, this may result in a complete corruption of the processor. In this case, a "USB Firmware Recovery" must be performed.

As soon as the firmware file is successfully downloaded to the device, it automatically restarts and the internal data is updated. This may take a few minutes. During this time, the network indicator is RED and the device is offline.

When the firmware upgrade is complete, the green "ON" indication reappears.

NOTE: The yellow area with the message "No Data" means that no design has been loaded to the device.

PROJECT VIEW

There are two ways to create a new project:

AUTO CONFIGURATION

If your device is listed in network view, select it and click in the top right on Create New Project from Selected Device(s). This automatically takes you to the project view and enables you to select a design template.

EMPTY PROJECT

The second option is to create a new project via File > New Project.

If you start with an empty project, Xilica Designer asks which DSP series you want to use. ZoneX is based on the Solaro DSP series, so choose Solaro Series.

1. "COMPONENT LIBRARY" MENU

This menu provides a list of devices and design modules for use in your project. Find the ZoneX processor in LD Systems > Processors.

2.WORK AREA

The work area is used to create and configure devices.

3. "OBJECT PROPERTY" MENU

This menu lets you configure the object features for the corresponding design.

DESIGN

For demonstration purposes, in this case only one DSP hardware block will be used, however a design can also include several DSP hardware objects. A project design can be created offline (without connected hardware) and loaded on your device later.

1. Drag and drop the desired DSP module, Zonex1208 in this case, from the "Component Library" into the work area.

1. A selection window appears with all design templates (Select Design Template). Select one of the templates offered and you'll see a brief description and overview of its key features. Select a suitable template for your project, and confirm with ok. Detailed descriptions of the different templates can be found in the FAQ on LD Systems ZoneX.

2. The ZoneX processor is configured accordingly.

1. Select the ZoneX module to highlight it. You can now adjust the device features in the "Object Property" menu on the right. Note: The object features depend on the device and vary depending on the selected object.

1. Double-click on the Zonex module to open the schematic design overview. The "Global Dante" template is selected in this example. The window size can be changed by dragging on the corner of the window.

1. All DSP modules can be processed offline. Double-click on the desire module to open it. You can then adjust the settings for the DSP module to your project's requirements.

In this example, the phantom power has been activated and the gain values adjusted in the first two channels of the input settings. In addition, we have renamed the first four channels in the audio input modules and processed input channel 1.

1. Now double-click on the main matrix mixer module to route the input signals to the corresponding outputs. These can also be processed with an output processing module.

1. If you have changed the settings offline, save your project in the desired location by clicking on File > Save As. If you have changed an existing project file, save this using File > Save. You get the same effect by clicking on the "Save" symbol in the top right of the work area.

It is a good idea to save backups of project files externally.

The file extension (naming extension) for saved project files is .pjxml.

ONLINE MODE

If you select online mode, the design file is loaded on the connected device(s) and you can make changes in real time.

In this case, all devices must be connected and online (green "ON" indicator in network view).

To switch to online mode, the device module must be assigned to the physical hardware.

1. Select the device module you want to assign from the project view.
2. Right-click on the device module and select Map to Physical Device.
3. The recognised devices are now listed with their Mac addresses. If several identical devices are connected to the network, they can be identified by their Mac addresses. Network view shows the Mac addresses for the individual devices.

It is very important that the name of the device block in the design file precisely matches the unit in the network view, otherwise the design cannot be loaded on the corresponding hardware.

If everything is mapped, the color of the module changes to solid green and the Mac address of the device is shown under device module.

1. Now click Load Design to Device(s), at the top of the work area.

1. A window appears in which you can check the devices onto which you want to load your design. Confirm with Ok.

Switching to online mode may take a few minutes. Do not interrupt the process! The process progress is shown in percent in a status bar at the top of the window.

As soon as the work area appears in a solid green, you are in online mode and the design menu is no longer available.

1. If you want to change the settings in real time, you can either double-click on the DSP module in project view or on the device block in project view and you will then see the schematic representation of the corresponding device.

1. Double-click on the desired DSP module or a I/O block to change settings in real time.

You can return to design mode at any time via the button Go Back to Design Mode at the top of the work area.

You will be asked if you want to copy the changes made online into the project design.

Confirm with Yes to save the online settings to the project.

Click No to return to the previous design file.

After transferring online settings to a project, the option File > Save overwrites the original project file.

Select File > Save As to create and save a new project file.

It is a good idea to save backup copies of project files externally.
