2.2.2.2. Ethernet ports.

In the area of common inputs and outputs of the AEQ FORUM are two 10/100BaseT RJ45

Ethernet connectors to interconnect the mixing console with external devices using IP

communication protocols.

LAN (lower) and ETHERNET (top) connectors

Any of the two connectors can be used to interconnect the AEQ FORUM with an external

computer that is running the configuration software. By default, the IP address associated to

“LAN” port is 172.31.34.1 and the one associated to “ETHERNET” port is 172.26.34.1: both

addresses can be modified if you have the right user level (see section 3.4). For further

information see chapter “4. CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE” of this manual.

IMPORTANT NOTE: the IP addresses of both Ethernet ports must not be configured into

the same network. For instance, if “LAN” port is configured with 172.31.34.1 IP address and

255.255.0.0 mask, the IP address of the “ETHERNET” port should be different from 172.31.x.x

(where x is any number between 0 and 255).
