Overview

1. HiQnet® Port

This RJ45 port provides power and network connectivity to the Intonato DC. PoE (Power over Ethernet) is required to power the Intonato DC controller via this port. If connecting to a network router or switch that does not provide PoE, an inline PoE power supply must be used. See

Power to the Intonato DC” on page

for more information.

5. ROTARY (VOLUME) Control

Adjusting this rotary control will attenuate the volume of all Intonato 24 output channels conﬁgured for master volume control. This control adjusts volume in the following increments:

• The top 30 dB range is adjusted in 0.5 dB increments

• The next 30 dB down is adjusted in 1 dB increments

• The remaining lower range is adjusted in 5 dB increments

NOTE: When the Volume encoder is turned quickly, control incrementation will be accelerated.

This allows for precise volume control when turning the encoder slowly, or large (yet smooth) jumps in volume control when turning the encoder quickly.

IMPORTANT: Read the important safety instructions included in the box before installing and

operating this product.

Both power and network connectivity are supplied to the Intonato DC via the RJ45 Ethernet port. Power must be supplied to the controller via an IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE (Power over Ethernet) device.

NOTE: PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at-compliant) devices are backwards compatible with the IEEE 802.3af

standard and can also be used with the Intonato DC.

There are two types of PoE/PoE+ devices that can be used to supply power to the Intonato DC:

• A PoE-enabled network switch (referred to as an “endspan” or “endpoint”)

• An inline power injector (referred to as a “midspan”)

Typical endspans with PoE-enabled ports include:

Networking

This section of the manual provides basic information on network settings, network security, and network troubleshooting. It also covers the HiQnet NetSetter application, which is a PC-compatible software application used to edit network settings for all connected HiQnet devices on a network from one central location.

Networking Overview

Below is a brief description of the most common network settings.

IP Address

• An IP address is an identiﬁer for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Each device in a network has its own IP address to identify it (e.g., 126.126.17.42). Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. An IP address is made of four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be 0 (zero) to 255. The last number should not be a 0 (zero) or 255. For example, 126.126.17.1 could be an IP address. 126.126.17.0 would not be a valid IP address.

A TCP/IP or IP address has two parts: the Network ID and the Host ID. The Network ID identiﬁes the network, and the Host ID identiﬁes either the subnet and device, or just the device if there is no subnet. The subnet mask is a code that indicates which part of the TCP/IP address is the Network ID and which part is the Host ID. In subnet-mask code, 255 identiﬁes the part of the address that is the Network ID. For example, suppose the IP address of a device is 192.168.xx.yy and the subnet mask is 255.255.x.y. That means, “192.168” is the Network ID. The remaining set of numbers (xx.yy) is the Host ID. If the network stands alone (it is not part of a larger network) then the Host ID identiﬁes each device in the network. If the network is part of a venue’s larger network, the network is actually a sub-network or subnet.

•

Subnet

A subnet is a small network within a larger network. For example, a TCP/IP network in a single area might be a subnet of a venue’s larger network, which could include computers throughout the building. Or, a network might be divided into multiple subnets. For example, a large installation may have one subnet per rack or room.

•

DHCP (Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol)

DHCP is a protocol for automatically assigning IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic (DHCP) addressing, a device might have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. DHCP relies on a DHCP server to assign and manage IP addresses. Most network routers come equipped with a built-in DHCP server.

•

Gateway

A gateway is used to connect two different networks and allow packets to be passed between them. In a typical home network, the router provides the “gateway” connection between the local area network (LAN) and Internet (WAN) so they can communicate. A gateway can translate between one network system or protocol and another.

INTONATO DC Operation Manual

Page 21

Networking

Network Security

Careful planning should be made before placing an Intonato DC on a network that is accessible by the public—for example, direct access to the device using an unsecured/weakly secured wireless network or a network jack in a public area.

It is highly recommended that the Intonato DC be placed on a protected, isolated network that does not have any connection to the public. This prevents unauthorized users from reconﬁguring or controlling the device. Most routers have built-in functions which help protect the network from unauthorized users, such as MAC address ﬁltering, encryption, and disabling the SSID broadcast. Check the documentation for the network router for information on conﬁguring available security options.

Network Troubleshooting

The Intonato DC must be connected to a DHCP-enabled network for initial conﬁguration and control. Connecting the Intonato DC to the network should be as easy as plugging it into the switch/router and waiting for it to get assigned an IP address. However, some additional conﬁguration will be required if using static IP addressing and/or network security features. If a network connection cannot be established with the Intonato DC, try following these steps to resolve the issue:

1. Ensure Networked Devices are Powered On

Ensure the control device (the device running the JBL Intonato control app), the Intonato 24, the Intonato DC, and all network peripherals (switches, routers, bridges, etc.) are powered on and wait a few minutes to allow all devices to boot and get assigned IP addresses. Look at the Intonato 24’s back-panel LCD and ensure it has an IP address. Also, ensure the Intonato DC is being assigned an IP address by using the Boot menu (see either the Intonato 24 or Intonato DC still do not have an IP address, or a network connection still cannot be established, go to the next step.

2. Check Network Activity LEDs, Cables, and Connections

Ensure the yellow and green LEDs are lighting on the Intonato 24 Ethernet port. Also, ensure the port activity/link LEDs are lighting on the router (and switch, if applicable). If using a wired connection from a computer, ensure the Ethernet port LEDs light on the computer’s Ethernet port. Note that the yellow LED may only ﬂash occasionally; this is normal.

If any of these activity/link LEDs are not lighting, try disconnecting then reconnecting the corresponding Ethernet cable. If the LEDs still don’t light, try swapping out the connected Ethernet cable for another, known-working cable. Also, make sure the correct type of Ethernet cable is used. If using a crossover cable, it may be causing the problem (depending on the capabilities of the router/switch) and the cable may need to be replaced with a straight-through Ethernet cable.

If an Ethernet port’s LEDs begin lighting after reconnecting or swapping out cables, wait a few minutes and then try reconnecting with the JBL Intonato control app. If a network connection still cannot be established, go to the next step.

3. Check IP Addresses and Network Settings

Ensure the control device’s network connection is conﬁgured for DHCP, and that it doesn’t have a static IP or Auto-IP (169.254.xx.yy) address. Check the IP addresses of the router, control device, Intonato 24, and Intonato DC and ensure they all have the same Network ID. Once all Network IDs are conﬁrmed to match, try reconnecting with the JBL Intonato control app.

If the Intonato devices still don’t have assigned IP addresses, and the Intonato 24’s Ethernet port LEDs are lighting, this indicates the DHCP server may not be assigning the Intonato devices an IP address. This could indicate a problem with the DHCP server settings in the router. Go to the next step.

4. Check Router/Switch Conﬁguration Settings

Check the settings in the network router/switch (consult the documentation that came with the network router/switch to see how to enter the utility used to conﬁgure it). Ensure the DHCP server is enabled and that the DHCP address range is properly conﬁgured. Once the DHCP server has been properly conﬁgured and enabled, wait a few minutes and then check to see if the Intonato devices have been assigned IP addresses.

If the DHCP server is properly conﬁgured and the Intonato DC, Intonato 24, and control device have compatible network settings but still won’t communicate, trafﬁc is likely being prohibited by a software or hardware ﬁrewall. If connecting using a router/switch that has an enabled hardware ﬁrewall, try disabling the ﬁrewall and then relaunching the JBL Intonato control app. If this ﬁxes the problem, refer to the router/switch documentation on how to reconﬁgure the ﬁrewall to allow the JBL Intonato control app, or ports 19272 and 3804 (TCP and UDP) and port 21 (FTP), to pass through the ﬁrewall. If the control app still won’t connect, go to the next step.

5. Check Software Firewalls

If connecting using a Mac or Windows computer, check any enabled software ﬁrewalls in the computer. Try disabling the ﬁrewall and then relaunching the JBL Intonato control app. If this ﬁxes the problem, refer to the ﬁrewall manufacturer’s documentation on how to reconﬁgure the ﬁrewall to allow the JBL Intonato control app, or ports 19272 and 3804 (TCP and UDP) and port 21 (FTP), to pass through the ﬁrewall.

NOTE: All devices must also have a unique device ID (also known as a HiQnet “node address” or

“node ID”). If a device ID conﬂict occurs, use the NetSetter software application to edit one of the device ID addresses to resolve the conﬂict. See

“Using HiQnet® NetSetter™” on page 24 for

more information.

Using HiQnet® NetSetter™

The Intonato devices must be connected to a DHCP-enabled network to be assigned IP addresses. Once IP addresses have been assigned, the HiQnet NetSetter application can be used to manually conﬁgure Intonato network settings if required for the application.

Conguring the Network Using NetSetter

NetSetter is a Windows-compatible software tool that detects HiQnet devices on a network and allows their network settings to be reconﬁgured in real time from one central location. Its function is to conﬁgure a system of devices to interoperate correctly on the same network and resolve conﬂicts quickly and easily. The latest version of NetSetter can be downloaded from http://hiqnet.harmanpro. com/software/.

The top of the NetSetter window displays overall operational functions that are available. At the bottom of the NetSetter window is an informational section that lists the number of discovered devices and the IP address of the DHCP server. There is also information regarding the PC HiQnet Address, IP Address, and Subnet Mask.

Follow these steps to conﬁgure Intonato devices with static IP addresses:

Uncheck the DHCP/Auto-IP checkbox.

1.

2. Click in the IP Address ﬁeld and enter the desired IP address for each Intonato device. Note that

each device must have a unique IP address.

3. Click in the Subnet Mask ﬁeld and enter the desired subnet mask.

4. Click in the Default Gateway ﬁeld and enter the gateway address.

5. Click the Apply Current Edits button to ﬁnalize the changes.

Follow these steps to conﬁgure Intonato devices to use DHCP addressing:

Check the DHCP/Auto-IP checkbox.

2. Click the Apply Current Edits button to ﬁnalize the changes.

3. Wait a couple of minutes for the DHCP server to assign the Intonato devices IP addresses.

NOTE: All devices must have a unique device ID (also known as a HiQnet “node address” or “node

ID”). If a device ID conﬂict occurs, edit one of the device ID addresses to resolve the conﬂict
