Service
You  must  contact  Axia  before  returning  any equip-

include  cables  or  accessories  unless  specifically re-
quested by the Technical Support Engineer at Axia. 
Be  sure  to  adequately  insure  your  shipment  for its 
replacement value. Packages without proper authori-

Axia technical support at +1 (216) 241-7225. All oth-
er customers should contact their local representative 
to arrange for service.
We  strongly  recommend  being  near  the  unit  when 
you call, so our Support Engineers can verify infor-
mation about your configuration and the conditions 
under  which  the  problem  occurs.  If  the  unit  must 
return to Axia, we will need your serial number, lo-
cated on the rear panel.
About This Manual
This manual covers the details of the Axia IP-Inter-
com products. This document assumes that you are 
familiar with Livewire’s basic concepts, as outlined 
in the  our  Introduction to  Livewire: IP-Audio Sys-
tem Design Reference and Primer manual. 
If  you  have  not  done  so,  please  review  that  mate-
rial  first.  In  it  we  explain  the  ideas  that  motivated 
Livewire and  how you  can  use  and  benefit  from  it, 
as  well  as  nitty-gritty  details  about  wiring,  connec-
tors, and the like. Since Livewire is built on standard 
networks,  we  also  help  you  to  understand  general 
network engineering so that you have the full back-
ground  for  Livewire’s  fundamentals.  After  reading 
Introduction  to  Livewire  you  will  know  what’s  up 
when  you  are  speaking  with  gear  vendors  and  the 
network  guys  that  are  often  hanging  around  radio 
stations these days.
As always, we welcome  your suggestions for im-
provement.  Contact  Axia  Audio  with  your  com-
