NOTE: Before you try to connect Dirac Live with your processor or receiver please make sure you do not have the AudioControl web UI open and disconnect any network enabled home automation system processors from the network, such as for Crestron, Control4, Savant, Elan, URC, etc. To exit the setup menu press the Menu button, your settings will automatically be saved. From the front panel select Menu > Speaker Types > set your speaker types accordingly. Dirac reads the speaker type settings from the processor or receivers menu settings and displays that configuration information in the Dirac software. Next, configure your speaker types and speaker configuration for your specific installation. If you plan to control your processor or receiver with RS232 commands just remember to go back and change the Control setting to RS232 when you are done running Dirac Live calibration. On the front panel select Menu > General Settings > Control > set Control to IP. In the setup menu, set the Control setting to IP so that Dirac Live software can communicate with your AudioControl device over the network using IP commands. Network information from front panel display

Select Menu > select Network > make note of the IP Address and MAC Address of your device. To ensure that your AudioControl device is connected to your network you can use the front panel buttons and display to confirm that your unit has acquired an IP address from your network router. If you want to assign a static IP address to your AudioControl device you can do so after Dirac calibration is complete. DHCP mode is enabled by default in your AudioControl devices settings. It also makes troubleshooting any connectivity issues much easier. It is recommended to have your AudioControl processor or receiver operating in DHCP mode while running Dirac so that it (and your computer) will acquire an IP address automatically from the network routers DHCP server.

We also recommend a wired connection for your laptop computer if possible, but a WiFi connection will also work. For your AudioControl device, connect an Ethernet cable to the rear panel Ethernet port and then plug the cable into your home network router or network switch. Please refer to this Setup Menu article on how to navigate the setup menu options of your processor or receiver using the front panel buttons and display of your processor or receiver.įirst, make sure the AudioControl X9 / X7 processor or XR8 / XR6 / XR4 receiver and your computer are connected to the same network (SSID).
