Using the Control Surface
Lyra Digital Mixer from D&R Phone +31 294 418014, email: info@d-r.nl Page 33
10.5 Network settings through the Control Surface
The Lyra is a stand-alone mixer. That means that there is no need for a PC during operation. But before
you start using the Lyra you may want to make some settings regarding output routing or GPIO usage.
You can connect your Lyra directly to your PC by a cross-link cable or connect your Lyra to your local
network (Straight CAT5 UTP cable) and use a PC on the network to connect to the Lyra.
10.5.1 Assigning an IP-address to the Lyra
To enter the special menu on the control-surface you should press all encoder of control-surface1
simultaneously. By constantly repeating this, you will see the following lines in the display of the control
surface.
- IP Address
- Subnet Mask
- Gateway Address
- Name Server Address
By default the network-settings are disabled. The IP-address is set to 255.255.255.255.
Note: Whenever you set these addresses you must reboot the console for changes to take effect.
When you have connected the Lyra directly to a PC you must manually assign all four addresses. for
example;
Lyra Settings
IP Address; 192.168.1.11
Subnet Mask; 255.255.255.0
Gateway Address; 0.0.0.0
Name Server Address; 0.0.0.0
PC Settings
IP-Address of the PC; 192.168.1.10
Subnet Mask; 255.255.255.0
Gateway Address; 0.0.0.0
Name Server Address; 0.0.0.0
Note: The IP-address of the PC and of the Lyra must not be the same.
When you have connected the Lyra to a network you have 2 options for setting the addresses. The Lyra
can auto-detect the DHCP server, which assigns the network-settings automatically, or you can manually
set the addresses.
To let the Lyra auto-detect the DHCP server, change the IP address to 0.0.0.0. Now reboot the console
and the Lyra will automatically search the network for the DHCP server. When found the Lyra displays
the assigned IP address, which you can use to connect to it by webpage.
