Using the Allen & Heath DX168 is a piece of cake. First, connect it to your dLive Surface, MixRack, SQ mixer, Avantis mixer, or AHM - 64 audio matrix processor using a single Cat5e cable through the EtherCon port. You don't need to worry about IP addressing, just plug it in and it's ready to go. If you need more remote I/O, you can daisy - chain two DX168 units together.

And always refer to the user manual if you have any questions.
