The IP Audio Remote I/O ('''IP-ARIO''') unit has a wide set of hardware functions. It can be used as:

===<u>Software Requirements</u>===
* AMC-IP version 11.2.3.1 or newer
* AlphaPro Version 11.2.3.0 or newer

===<u>License Requirements</u>===
An [[Licenses#IP-ARIO_Audio_License|IP-ARIO Audio License]] is required in the AlphaCom when the audio part of IP-ARIO is used, i.e. when the IP-ARIO is used as PA interface or as a Mobile Radio interface. To install the license, log on to [[AlphaWeb]]:
* Select '''System Configuration > Licensing'''
* Click '''Insert new License Key'''

<br style="clear:both;" />

* Enter the key string in the '''Input License Key''' field
* Click '''Insert Key''' to install the license.

'''Note:''' If only the I/O part of the IP-ARIO is used, no license is required. The AlphaCom will automatically recognize the unit as an IP-ARIO and allow it to register without a license.

==Local Status Monitoring==
The Local Status Monitoring (LSM) feature can be started anytime after booting up the IP-ARIO unit. LSM will show the status on the following monitored items:
* PA 1 and PA 2 for 20 kHz speaker monitoring
* XLR 1 and XLR 2 for XLR connectors connection status
* RCI 1 to RCI 8 showing active or non-active RCI inputs
* RCO 1 to RCO 8 showing active or non-active RCO outputs
<br/>
LSM is started by using a pin to press the pinhole Reset button located on the front-right of the unit. All LEDs at the front of the unit will be lit as long as the Reset button is pressed (as visual verification of the LED status). When the Reset button is released, LSM continues and the LEDs will show the following:
* '''CALL''' LED fast flashing to indicate that the LSM feature is active.
* '''STATUS''' LED indicates monitored group (3 groups)
** PA/XLR (green off, red off)
** RCI (green on, red off)
** RCO (green off, red on)
* '''RADIO''' LED indicates monitored item within group, mix of LEDs on, off, slow and fast flashing.
* '''ERROR''' LED indicates status of monitored item, on if fail or active, off if OK or non-active.
<br/>
PA/XLR needs approximately 10 seconds to be updated if the status changes, i.e. if the XLR connector is disconnected and then reconnected. <br/>
RCI and RCO will show instant updating if the status changes, i.e. if RCI 1 changes status, this will be immediately indicated on the '''ERROR''' LED if RCI 1 is monitored. <br/>
Each time the Reset button is toggled, the status of the next LSM item is indicated on the '''ERROR LED'''. <br/>
The LSM can be terminated at any time by pressing and holding the Reset button for at least 2 seconds. LSM will auto-terminate 2 minutes after the last Reset button
activity. <br/>
The table below shows the relation between the current status of the monitored item and the different LED indicators.
