Network Connector; Force Update Button - Mackie DL1608 Reference Manual

Network Connector

This is all we're giving you for now. Directions for setting up the rest of the router begin on chapter 4.
That seems like such a long way off, but it starts on the next page!

Force Update Button

The force update button is tucked in right between the power connector and network connector.
In a perfect world, this button would just sit there without a care in the world, umbrella drink in hand,
beach, surf and sun on a daily basis. In all likelihood, this button will live his / her dream out, while the
rest of us can only dream of such a life.
The DL1608 and Master Fader app do a great job at letting you know when either (or both) the software
and firmware need updating, but this button here forces a complete firmware update if the need ever arrives.
Here's how to force a firmware update: first, turn the mixer off. Now, with a ballpoint pen or a paperclip,
poke the force update button, then power up the mixer with the button depressed. The DL1608 will boot
and you will be prompted with an update bubble the next time an iPad (with the Master Fader app) is
connected to the mixer.
Now that you know how to force an update, here's a friendly reminder that you should let
the button remain peaceful, calm and tranquil, only forcing a firmware update if instructed
by Mackie Tech Support. Thank you for listening!
Save any current show before forcing an update or you may lose it. The show and your sanity!
The 100MB network connector is conveniently located between the power
connector and aux send jack 6. Its purpose in life is to connect the DL1608
to a Wi-Fi router via CAT5 Ethernet cable, thus enabling wireless control.
Plug one end of the CAT5 Ethernet cable into the DL1608 network connector
and the other end of the CAT5 Ethernet cable into a LAN port on the router,
NOT a WAN port. Most routers allow the use of either a straight-wired cable
or crossover cable, but If you have a choice, a straight-wired CAT5 Ethernet
cable is the way to go to ensure smooth operation with any router.
