Is the power light on the Raspberry Pi supposed to be red or green? mine flashes green when i plug it in then stays red. There is a Red light at one end that stays steady after bootup, see the red glow at other end in the photo. There's the Amber and Green lights on the network interface. View AttachmentThank you very much for checking, I really appreciate that. That's what mine was is doing, I wanted to confirm because in the Youtube video that Damen made on how to connect this I believe it shows a green power light.

Once the LBB boots up the power light is red.Β If you're using the Emotiva switch its power light will be red and there will be a flashing green light for your RMC. I'm not using the Emo switch, but it's the one I originally used. All the other connections on the ethernet switch box are green except for the one connected to the RMC-1. It should be. When I connect any of my other components to the ethernet there are usually yellow/green lights flashing- there are no lights at the RMC-1 connection. I've tried 3 different cables. In the RMC-1 setup>info>networkΒ it showsΒ 0.0.0.0Β Β Β Β Β Β Pretty sure if there is a connection it would show something.Β Seems to be something wrong with the network connection within the RMC-1. I have hard reset it a few times without any joy. Any ideas?? you're having "the network issue" that doesn't exist. Turn the power off, wait a minute, flip it back on. You hopefully will have a link light. If you don't have a link light, don't bother with anything else until you get that to work. Good luck!

mine is doing the exact same thing right now. I tried everything , reboot and wait doesn't work. I'm about to backup my settings and reset I tried that with no luck. Hope you have better luck.Β Neither my ethernet switch or modem show that the RMC-1 is connected, like either the actual connection is not working allowing a physical connection, or something in firmware is screwy. This is true with DHCP enabled or disabled. Just doesn't seem to connect to the processor at the network connection. I get an IP address with DHCP disabled, but not when its enabled. This seems backwards. Again, should DHCP be enabled or not?? Should it show an IP address with it enabled?? Shouldn't my ethernet switch or modem be showing a connection?? With it disabled, you can enter an IP. If you've ever manually put one in... It has likely retained it from that time. If you do not have a link light, nothing else is going to work. DHCP is something that happens after a physical, "layer 1" connection.

The RMC-1 does not connect with my modem if connected directly (and I know this is not how it needs to be connected to run Dirac- just did it to test). The 'network in' connection on the RMC-1 is not working. It's dead. Hope it's a firmware problem, or something I missed, and not a faulty connector/hardware. Also I don't understand why the IP numbers show up when I turn DHCP off. I never entered any numbers- I wouldn't know what to enter. Thanks to all for trying to help. I guess I'll call Emo tomorrow and lose a few more hours of my life trying to get their processors to work.

I had this problem a few times, link light would go out etc. Tinkering with the static/dhcp setting sometimes would help, after that power cycle and unplug/plug power, after that factory reset. Also you can try dhcp with a static reservation in your router, I did a lot of stuff prior to 2.1 and not sure exactly what ended up helping. Might want to reload 2.1 and see. Did you factory reset when you loaded 2.1?

It was never RMC or EDNIB in my case. It was something with the router.. After a reboot of the router everything worked fine again. Do you use the little switch that came with the Dirac kit? Can you check if you get connection in other ways. Maybe like directly connected to the router?

I had been struggling with trying to add/delete Control Points in Dirac since using version 3, but was never able to do so. The instructions say to Right Click, which, on a Mac is Control/Click, but that does not work. Every search I've done just comes up with Right Click. And just today, marcl re-confirmed to Right Click. I finally decided to try a mouse with a "Right" button that is normally used on my PC's. That worked!! So, to add or delete Control Points on a Dirac Target Curve when using a Mac, just use a mouse with a Right Button! This is something I haven't seen suggested in more than several months of searching.

Unplug the lbb. Shut down the Processor for at least a minute using the back toggle. Turn it back on. Wait until you get an ip address then plug in the lbb and wait until you get a link light or you can see Dirac in the menu.

Did a new measurement in Dirac 3.0.11 for my preset 2. Chose a 2.2.0 stereo setup with a 9 point calibration.
Everything went fine. Dirac has changed some in the volume setup since the earlier 3.0.x versions. Set the mic 100% and master volume to -40, as suggested by Dirac. Got 23-24db on the speakers first try. Much faster than before. Dirac then continued to measure without any issues on all 9 points.
Really great results!
One thing I did differently this time was to add PEQ on my subs to βhelpβ Dirac make flatter calibration by shortening the worst dips.
Edit: By suggested I mean preselected.

I did not try rebooting the modem, but did try 2 different cables from the modem directly into the processor and into the switch box. Both connected with the switcher, but neither connected with the RMC-1 . When the modem was connected to the network switch with either cable it could not connect from the switcher to the RMC-1. The network input in the RMC-1 is dead.

What does a +4 harmon curve do ?
Will bi amping the front change the Dirac run out come ?
After a Dirac calibration, did you have to turn the volume up more than usual to listen to movies at reference levels ?

From memory I think I had a similar issue with my RMC-1 and network connections when I was looking at static v dhcp etc. If I remember correctly it keeps the values that you entered when you switched off dhcp, so to get it to pick up all the values from the router etc I had to go in and clear the values then re enable dhcp, as it wasnβt changing anything as it had values stored. I now use dhcp and a pre assigned IP in case I have to go looking for it in Dirac.

After a Dirac calibration, did you have to turn the volume up more than usual to listen to movies at reference levels ? Harman curves raise the bass to the db in curve name, 4, 6, 8 or 10. It starts at 300hz and raises it slowly in the beginning to get to the full level at 60-70hz.. It should not matter as long as you have the same amp or atleast speced the same. Gain and sensitivity. I never listen to reference levels.. But no, I have my volume about the same level as before. Maybe a slight raise.. But this depends on how much Dirac has to βcorrectβ.

But I always put in the static settings on all my devices.. Never have any issues.. Other than the occational router reboot.

I guess I'll call Emo tomorrow and lose a few more hours of my life trying to get their processors to work. It's hard to say why the IP information is there. From an networking perspective though, the first step is gaining a network link. This will visually be seen by noticing the link light being active on the RMC and whatever network device you plug into. Any further troubleshooting past this point will be unimportant. I wouldn't touch the LBB. I wouldn't even mess with the little switch they sent. Mine quite frankly doesn't even work. Test with your modem until you get the link light situation stable. Then, you can start adding pieces back in. I've had a rough time with my NIC over the past year. Luckily, I am not having near the issues I was earlier in the year. At one time though, I had to shut down, flip the toggle switch off, wait a minute, turn it back on, wait a minute, then hit the power button. I have had to do this process 5 times in a row before the NIC would start working again. It is quite frustrating, but it did work at some point. There's something going on with their boot process that fails to load the network stack at times. This results in the NIC not lighting up, etc etc.

After a Dirac calibration, did you have to turn the volume up more than usual to listen to movies at reference levels ? I think the gain issue is because Dirac lowers to the dip rather than the peak in the frequency curve while flattening it out. I experience the same thing having to increase my volume from 60 on the knob to 70 on the knob to achieve the same output. As hsamwell stated the Harmon Research curves are named after the "boost" in the bass/mid bass region. Just for FYI I utilize an 8db curve.

Turned on bi amp front, and the xmc2 went squirrly and had to reboot it. This means? I used front bi-amp before.. It worked fine, both turning on and off. Just that I had strange sound from Reference Stereo.. They send uppmixed audio through front bi-amp channel if you try to use all analog through. Emotiva is aware. A fix that mutes front bi-amp in this case will be implemented probably in the next firmware. If you only use Dirac or digital inputs then this is not an issue.
