The FireStudio and the 1818VSL are both computer audio interfaces that require a computer to operate. These do not operate as stand alone mixer devices.

If a stand alone mixer is what you require, then you'll need to take a look at the StudioLive rack mixers for a solution.

I tried and it worked (need to wait about 10-20seconds after turning on Power; sync LED remains red) but i'm not sure it will always work as standalone as presonus.com don't support it. They said MacOSX 10.8 (what I have for now) is not supported at all.
