Frequently Asked Questions - XEDAI LD Systems

How to install the XEDAI module on an IPA amplifier?

Disconnect the amplifier, remove the cover of the expansion slot, slide the module while aligning the contact strips, then screw it back with the supplied screws. Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel.

What is the default IP address of the XEDAI module?

The default IP address is 192.168.0.192. Configure your computer in the same range (e.g., 192.168.0.x) to connect via QUESTRA software.

How to reset the module's IP address?

Press and hold the IP RESET button for 5 seconds. The LED flashes quickly, then release to reset the IP to default values.

What does the status LED on the module indicate?

- Flashing white: startup or IP reset. - Solid white: network stack ready, IP configured. - Solid red: firmware compatibility issue or internal communication problem.

Is the XEDAI module compatible with all LD Systems amplifiers?

No, it is exclusively compatible with LD Systems IPA series amplifiers.

What software should be used to configure the XEDAI module?

Use QUESTRA software (free) for network control and Dante Controller for Dante audio configuration. Download QUESTRA from the LD Systems website.

How to connect the XEDAI module to a Dante network?

Connect the module's Dante RJ45 interface to a network switch. Use Dante Controller to configure 4x4 audio routing. Ensure IGMP multicast traffic is enabled.

What are the network prerequisites for detecting the module in QUESTRA?

Enable multicast traffic on the switch/router and ensure your computer is in the same IP range as the module (192.168.0.x). A Cat5e or higher cable is recommended.

Does the XEDAI module require external power?

No, it is powered directly by the IPA amplifier via the internal connector. Consumption is less than 2 W.

How to dispose of the XEDAI module?

Do not dispose of it with household waste. In accordance with the WEEE directive, take it to an approved recycling point or return it to the dealer.

Extension module with Ethernet control interface and Dante interface for LD IPA installation output stages.

INTENDED USE

This item is a product-specific accessory intended exclusively for use with the LD Systems IPA in-stallation power amplifier. These assembly instructions do not replace the operating instructions for the associated product. Always read the corresponding operating instructions first. This accessory has no influence on the intended use of the associated product. Observe the safety instructions in the operating instructions of the associated product! The technical data shown in the operating instructions may change in connection with this accessory.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Please read these instructions carefully.
2. Keep all information and instructions in a safe place.
3. Follow the instructions.
4. Only use the accessories in the manner intended.

CAUTION: The installation of the expansion module may only be carried out by qualified personnel. If you are not qualified to do so, do not attempt to install the extension module yourself, but use the help of professional companies! Make sure that no foreign bodies get into the housing!

DANGER: KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN! THE PRODUCT CONTAINS SMALL PARTS THAT CAN BE SWALLOWED AND PACKAGING MATERIAL THAT CAN BE SWALLOWED! PLASTIC BAGS MUST BE KEPT OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN!

SCOPE OF DELIVERY

Remove the product from the packaging and remove all packaging material. Please check that the delivery is complete and intact and please notify your distributor immediately after purchase if the delivery is not complete or damaged. The scope of delivery of the product includes:

• 1x XEDAI extension module
- Assembly instructions

ASSEMBLY

1. Disconnect the power amplifier completely from the mains (pull out the mains plug)!
2. Loosen and remove the four screws from the cover of the expansion slot using a suitable tool (see markings in the illustration). Keep the cover for later conversion.
3. Slide the expansion module into the expansion slot, making sure that the contact strip of the module slides correctly into the connection strip of the power amplifier. Asymmetrically mounted guide pins on the module's plate ensure that the module cannot be installed the wrong way round A.
4. Now screw the module to the power amplifier housing using the screws previously loosened from the expansion slot cover.

CONNECTIONS, CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

LD X EDAI Dante® ETHERNET 2 1 3 STATUS IP RESET 4

1 ETHERNET

Ethernet interface with RJ45 socket for controlling the installation amplifier via QUESTRA application software available free of charge.

2 DANTE™

Dante™ interface with RJ45 socket for connecting the IPA amplifiers to a Dante™ audio network (4 IN - 4 OUT).

3 STATUS

The status LED provides information about the internal integration between the card and the main board in the IPA power amplifier (firmware compatibility, internal communication problems):

• White flashing during start-up. The unit is loading the data for IPA.
• Permanently white: The network stack in the card is ready – The IP settings have been configured properly.
• Permanent red – Firmware is not compatible with motherboard, problems with network stack.
• White flashing (slow/fast) during IP reset procedure.

4 IP RESET

Long press activates the IP reset procedure. Initially, the status LED flashes slowly in white and when the button is pressed for 5 seconds, the status LED flashes quickly to indicate that the IP reset procedure will be carried out after the button is released.

NETWORK CONNECTION

The XEDAI module from LD Systems enables remote control of compatible devices, such as IPA Series amplifiers, via the network. Once the XEDAI module is installed in a device, it can be connected to a network infrastructure and controlled via a computer using LD Systems QUESTRA software.

PREREQUISITES FOR OPERATION

• Computer with QUESTRA software installed
- Network interface (router, switch) with activated multicast traffic (activate IGMP protocol).
- Ethernet cable. Use a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable (Cat 5e or better) for all wired connections.

FIRST STEPS

The XEDAI modules are delivered with a pre-configured static IP address (192.168.0.192) as standard. To be able to recognise the unit with the Questra software, please make sure that the IP settings of the computer on which the Questra software is installed are configured in the same network range as the XEDAI modules. See notes below.

• IP range : 192.168.0.X/24 (where X can be any value between 1 and 254, except 192 which is already used by default by the XEDAI modules)
  • Network mask : 255.255.255.0

Once a device with a XEDAI module is connected to a network and switched on, it will appear under the AVAILABLE DEVICES section in the ADD DEVICES field on the left. Please note that multicast traffic must be enabled in the switch/router for the device to be detected.

QUESTRA SOFTWARE

The Questra software not only enables comprehensive configuration of compatible devices, such as IPA Series amplifiers, but also provides integration capabilities for third-party remote control units and allows users to create their own custom control panels that can be controlled via the Questra remote control apps available for iOS, Android, Windows and MAC OS.

Please download the latest version of the QUESTRA software from the LD Systems website (www.ld-systems.com) to your computer, check the system requirements for the software and follow the software instructions to start configuring a unit.

DANTE™ CONTROLLER

Setting up a Dante™ network is done with the help of the freely available software DANTE™ CONTROLLER. Download the software from the manufacturer's website www.audinate.com and install it on a computer. Connect the Ethernet interface of the computer to the Dante™ network where the Dante™ interface of the XEDAI module is connected using a network cable (Cat. 5e or better) and run the Dante™ Controller software. The software has automatic device detection. Signal routing is done by mouse click and the device and channel designations can be edited individually by the user. IP address, MAC address and other information about the devices in the Dante™ network can be displayed in the software.

When the configuration of the units in the Dante ^™ network is complete, the Dante ^™ Controller software can be closed and the computer disconnected from the network. The settings in the units on the network are retained.
