5.2 Setting up the transmission path
It is also possible to set up a simple transmission path without the app. Using the app to set the
parameters is recommended.
The following components are needed to set up a simple transmission path:
^1 TX with module
^At least 1 RX with module
^Optional: 1 RX with repeater module
Because of the signal strength, the minimum
distance of 10 feet between TX and RX must be
maintained for the connection process.
cSwitch on TX and RX.
cStart the linking process on the TX:
Briey push the link button.
(The TX link LED ashes blue.
cStart the linking process on the RX:
Briey push the link button.
(The RX link LED briey ashes blue.
(The RX link LED lights solid blue as soon as the
connection to the TX is established.
cAdditional RX devices can be added to the transmission
path in the same way.
cEnd the linking process on the TX manually:
Briey push the link button.
(The TX link LED lights solid blue.
If the connection process is not ended manually on
the TX, it is automatically ended after 10 minutes.

Operation
5.7.2 Advanced Mode
The advanced mode is provided for RF specialists. Activating the Advanced mode will allow the user to edit an additional
parameter on each RX, called “RF attenuator”. The Advanced mode also allows to hide the SSIDs of the XIRIUM PRO
devices.
Activating / Deactivating the Advanced mode:
cOn the Settings Page, tap the Advanced Mode switch.
An activated attenuator or a hidden SSID is saved even after a Power Off/On of the device. The app detects
whether the attenuator is turned ON or the SSID is hidden and then automatically turns on the advanced
mode.
SSID visibility:
In high congested RF environment it is advisable to hide the SSIDs of all devices, in order that no requests will be received
by the XIRIUM PRO devices.
Change SSID visibility:
cTurn on Advanced Mode to enable the “SSID
visibility” parameter in the Settings menu.
cSingle devices or all devices at once can be set
hidden or visible.
cA checked box means the SSID is visible.
cAn unchecked box means that this SSID is hidden.
When hiding the SSID in Standalone Mode the
app will lose the device for a short time. While an
Android tablet will bring the device back in the
app automatically, iOS users may have to select
the device again in the Wi-Fi settings and then
return to the app..
During a change of the SSID visibility in network mode all other options are disabled until the process is nished com-
pletely.
The user can reset various options in the app.
The following options can be selected:
•Reset connected devices: All devices are reset to
the default setting.
•Remove connected devices from Access Point: All
devices are removed from the network.
•Show all warning messages again: All faded-out
warnings and notes are displayed again.

Operation
RF attenuator:
RF attenuator is a parameter which can be set on each RX only if the Advanced Mode is turned on. It attenuates the RF
signal by 30 dB. The RF attenuator works best in combination with an increased transmission power on the TX. An acti-
vated RF attenuator increases the signal-to-noise ratio on that RX. Hence on an event with a lot of disturbing signals it is
possible to lower the surrounding noise and at the same time increase your transmission power of the TX to establish a
better reception.
Activating / Deactivating the RF attenuator:
cOn the Settings Page, tap the Advanced Mode switch to enable this additional parameter.
cOn the Edit Page, click on the RX and then tap the RF attenuator switch.
5.8 Setting up and mounting the XIRIUM PRO system
5.8.1 Positioning the devices
When positioning and setting the devices, observe the information in Section "4.4 Getting
started" on page 22.
cAlways keep a minimum distance of 10 feet between
the TX and each RX (with mounted 6 dBi antenna and
transmission power at -3 dB).
Under the following conditions, select a greater
minimum distance between TX and RX:
•XIRIUM PRO devices are operated with the 9 dBi
antenna.
•The transmission power is greater than -3 dB.
cAlways mount the devices so the device antennas are at
the same height.
min. 10 ft.
45User Manual – XIRIUM PRO® CA | BDA 471 2017/03
Operation
cPosition repeaters directly in front of obstacles.
(The signal will be transmitted through the obstacle.
Depending on the signal strength, the repeater can
also be positioned directly after the obstacle.
5.8.3 Systems with several transmitters
If several transmitters are used in the network, observe the following:
cSet the transmission power of all TXs to the same value.
cSelect the transmission channel for the TX in the app so at least one
channel is free between each channel used.
cWhen positioning the TX, maintain a minimum distance of at least 1 foot
between each TX.
cIncrease the recommended minimum distance between TX and RX to
164 feet.
cThe ideal RSSI level is between -60 to -50 dB.
cIf devices are not mounted at the same height:
Mount devices so they are parallel with each other.
An angled positioning is only allowed if the devices
are set to channel 149-165 or used indoors.
If the transmission needs to be done in the lower
channels (40-48) in an outdoor location a parallel
horizontal positioning of the devices with antennas
in a vertical position is necessary to comply with
FCC regulations.
5.8.2 Positioning the repeater
With the repeater, a connection can be stabilized by a redundant signal, obstacles can be
overcome, or the signal can be transmitted over twice the distance.

8.1 Integrating DANTE
8.1.1 Introduction to DANTETM
DANTETM stands for Digital Audio Network Through Ethernet and is an audio network protocol
developed by the Australian company Audinate. DANTETM delivers uncompressed, multichannel,
low-latency digital audio over a standard Ethernet network using Layer 3 IP packets. A TX DANTE
module is able to transmit up to two channels of digital audio, while the RX DANTE module can
receive two signals of a DANTETM network.
When XROC mode is enabled, only one channel is transmitted and received in a transmission
path, because the data rate is then lowered.
All products on which DANTETM is enabled work together to deliver perfectly synchronized audio.
This is managed through a single software application called “Dante Controller”.
Dante Controller is a free software application that enables routing audio and conguring devices
in a Dante network. Setting up a DANTETM network is very easy. Dante Controller offers automatic
device detection, one-click signal routing and user-editable device and channel labels.
A XIRIUM PRO device with an integrated DANTETM module can be connected to the DANTETM net-
work using common CAT5e or CAT6 cables. If a network switch is included in the system, it should
be at least a 1 Gbit network switch.
8.1.2 Enabling a DANTETM link
^Connect the computer to the DANTETM network with a standard CAT5e or CAT6 cable
^The DANTE Controller software is installed (https://www.audinate.com).
cRun the Dante Controller software.
cIn the routing menu, click on the + symbols of the devices.
cEstablish the desired link.
The XIRIUM PRO TX devices appear as DANTE receivers, and vice versa!

8.2 Access point settings
Using an access point makes it possible to operate the app in network mode. This way, the entire
XIRIUM PRO system can be congured and monitored via the app.
8. 2 .1 Recommended settings
Any conventional access point can be used to set up a XIRIUM PRO network. Neutrik recommends
the following settings for the access point:
•For the strongest security option, use WPA2-AES as security protocol for authentication.
•If the access point has a dual-band radio, deactivate the 5 GHz band and only leave the 2.4 GHz
band activated.
•In the list of optional frequencies within the 2.4 GHz band, select channel 1 (2412 MHz),
channel 6 (2437 MHz), and channel 11 (2462 MHz) to ensure the channels do not overlap during
use.
•Make sure the http and https protocols are not blocked.
