IMPORTANT!

Early rev Xstreams have a 10 Base-T connector instead of a 100Base-T connector. You can

identify if your unit supports 100 Base-T and Livewire streaming by checking the rear panel,

or by looking in the first System menu. If the rear panel says "100 Base-T," or the software

version displayed in the System menu ends with a “b” or “r” your unit has the 100 Base-T

Ethernet and supports Livewire input/output.

HOT TIP!

Direct communication is possible without an IP router if both the computer and Xstream have

IP addresses in the same subnet (i.e. the first 3 numbers in the IP address match).

You can even connect a computer directly to the Xstream if you use the correct Ethernet

“crossover cable”. See Appendix 5.

The IP addresses in the range of 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 are considered safe for

private network use. They are not assigned to any router on the Internet. Of course you should

make sure they are not being used by another computer on your LAN. Note that these IP

addresses cannot be used to update your unit directly from Telos (since they work for local

access only).
