==Main Settings  ==
The IP-ARIO unit features an embedded web server, which allows users to log in via a standard web browser. At commissioning, the IP-ARIO unit needs to be configured to enable it to subscribe to an AlphaCom server/exchange. To do this, your PC and the IP-ARIO unit have to be connected together via a PoE switch using network cables:
* Connect the PC to the PoE switch
* Connect the '''LAN''' port on the IP-ARIO unit to the PoE switch

The factory default IP address of the IP-ARIO unit is '''169.254.1.100'''. In order for your PC to communicate with the unit it is necessary to change its '''Internet Protocol Properties''' to use an IP address that is in the same range as 169.254.1.100, e.g. 169.254.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0.

After the IP properties have been changed, access the IP-ARIO unit by logging into the web interface using a standard web browser:
# Open a web browser on your PC
# In the browser’s address bar, type '''http://169.254.1.100''' and press the ENTER key. The IP-ARIO login page is displayed.

<br style="clear:both;" />
# Enter the default user name: '''admin'''
# Enter the default password: '''alphaadmin'''

The '''Station Info''' page will now be displayed, showing the IP-ARIO unit configuration. Use the menu bar at the top of each page to browse through the various pages.

In '''Station Main''' -> '''Main Settings''', set the following parameters:
* '''AlphaCom IP-address''': Enter the IP address of the AlphaCom server/exchange in which the IP-ARIO unit is to be registered
* '''Request Directory Number''': Enter the directory number of the IP-ARIO unit
** If a directory number is not entered, the IP-ARIO unit will register with its MAC address. The MAC address is found on the '''Station Info''' page and needs to be entered into the AlphaPro programming tool.

Under '''IP Settings''', select one of the following options:
* '''DHCP''' – Use this option if the IP-ARIO unit should receive IP Settings from a DHCP server. 
* '''Static IP''' – Use this option if the IP-ARIO unit should use a fixed IP address. Enter the IP address, subnet mask and gateway address.
* Click '''Save''' followed by '''Apply''' to apply the new configuration settings.

==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.
