How long can the HUB4000Q take to obtain an IP address at first start‑up?
Initial DHCP or AutoIP negotiation may last up to five minutes before the unit appears online.
Which IP range does the HUB4000Q use when falling back to AutoIP?
AutoIP assigns an address between 169.254.1.1 and 169.254.254.255 with subnet 255.255.0.0.
How much current does the HUB4000Q draw?
Its maximum current consumption is about 200 mA.
Which cables should I use to connect AKG devices to the hub?
Always use the supplied RJ‑11 data cables to ensure proper operation.
Why should I leave all four DIP switches off for normal operation?
The all‑off position lets the hub use its stored settings and auto‑negotiate a DHCP or AutoIP address.
Is a DHCP router necessary in a HiQnet network with the hub?
While not mandatory, a DHCP router greatly simplifies IP address management for all devices.
Which Ethernet cable is required when connecting the hub directly to a PC?
Use a crossover Ethernet cable for a direct PC‑to‑hub link.
What does it mean when System Architect asks for a hub firmware update?
You should proceed with the update; mismatched firmware and software versions are unsupported.
Why create a Master Control Panel in System Architect?
It combines several hubs so you can control every connected channel from a single window.
How many AKG wireless devices can one HUB4000Q interface support?
A single HUB4000Q lets you daisy‑chain up to eight compatible AKG devices.
What kind of Ethernet port does the HUB4000Q need?
It must be plugged into a 10 Mbit half‑duplex Ethernet port to communicate reliably.
Within what ambient temperature range will the HUB4000Q operate safely?
The specified range is –10 °C to +60 °C.
Which color shows that the hub is switched on?
The status LED glows green whenever the unit is powered.
What power adapter does the HUB4000Q use?
Operate it only with a regulated 12 V DC, 500 mA supply.
How do I expand the system beyond eight channels?
By networking several hubs through standard switches or routers you can control large multi‑channel setups from one PC.
What do the blue slot LEDs indicate?
Off means no device, solid means a device is connected, and flashing locates the attached device.
Does the hub remember its IP settings after the first boot?
Yes - the address is stored so subsequent start‑ups are much faster.
Which control surfaces can access the HUB4000Q?
You can manage it from Harman System Architect, the AKG Wireless iPhone app, or Soundcraft Vi consoles via VM2.
What are the minimum computer specifications to run Harman System Architect with the hub?
System Architect needs a 2 GHz dual‑core 32‑bit Windows PC with 2 GB RAM, 200 MB free disk space and 1024 × 768 resolution.
Can I monitor the HUB4000Q with a smartphone?
Yes - the free AKG Wireless iPhone app lets you supervise and control the system over Wi‑Fi.
