H A R D W A R E Hardware Overview The ADR-32 may be configured for a variety of I/O card complements using various combinations of analog and digital audio input and output cards. All audio input and output signal connections are made via multipin DB-25 connectors located on the cage rear and mounted on the input/output daughter cards.
9 through 16. Digital input and output cards each handle eight inputs/outputs, while analog input and output cards each handle four inputs/outputs. The ADR-32 can support up to four digital input cards and four digital output cards, or up to eight analog input cards and eight analog output cards.
Page 18
Failure to do so will damage the expansion card, ribbon cable, and/or motherboard. • Configuring the software - The ADR-32 software has been pre-configured to automatically recognize a newly installed audio I/O card. You may run the X-Point application to edit the pre-configured I/O names to match your new sources or destinations.
Digital Input Card (SRC-8) Overview The SRC-8 digital audio input cards for the ADR-32 accept up to 8 AES-3 formatted stereo sources (i.e. 16 mono channels). A Signal Defini- tions form in the supplied X-Point software allows the user to set attributes for the input channels including signal name, type, circuit #, etc.
Reference Notes: 0dBu = .7746 V RMS, +4dBu = 1.23V RMS dBFS = dB Full Scale Digital -20dBFS = +4dBu Internal Programming Options There are no internal programming options on the ADC-4 card. page 2 – 9 ADR-32 / Dec 2002...
Optionally, you may reconfigure stereo inputs for 2 channel mono operation in software. Please see “Signal Definition” section in the “X-Point Software Setup Guide”. page 2 – 10 ADR-32 / Dec 2002...

The digital output signal reference level is -20dBFS. A +4dBu analog input signal yields a -20dBFS digital output signal. Channel Status imple- mentation complies with rules for “Standard implementation” as described in the AES-3 1992 specification. page 2 – 12 ADR-32 / Dec 2002...

Wheatstone ADR-32 digital audio routers ship with the CPU IP address set for 192.168.1.160. Peer to peer connections between a PC and the ADR-32 only require you to set the PC IP address to live on the same subnet as the ADR-32.
H A R D W A R E Ethernet Interface Wiring Stand-alone systems are defined as the ADR-32 connected to an X-Point configuration PC and not interfaced to a station’s existing network. Stand- alone systems are “point to point” configurations and are connected by a CAT-5 crossover cable.
Note: Each ADR-32 XY Controller ID# is set using jumpers J3-J10. These jumpers are read as an 8 bit field with Bit Ø mapped to J10 and Bit 7 mapped to J3. This ID# is read by the CPU at boot up and is required by the ADR-32 serial communications software.

C O N T R O L L E R D E V I C E S Controller Devices The ADR-32 audio router has provisions for two levels of software control and also two dedicated hardware controllers. Software configuration and control of the system is handled by the X-Point Configuration GUI described below.
The X-Point application running in XY Controller mode is also known as a “Crosspoint GUI”. Like the Configuration GUI, this device communicates to the ADR-32 over Ethernet. However, it uses a UDP broadcast interface, which allows multiple XYC GUI’s to communicate to the switch simulta- neously.

C O N T R O L L E R D E V I C E S Wheatstone Console Interface The ADR-32 has a powerful level of integration designed into the system which allows the user to map specific Wheatstone console input channel alpha-numeric displays to router destinations.
Console CPU Module Settings Certain dipswitch settings must be made on the connected Wheatstone consoles in order for them to be recognized by the ADR-32 system software. These settings are the console address, serial port mode, and RS-485 termina- tion.

Ethernet Cabling • Use a CAT 5 crossover ethernet cable to connect a PC directly to the ADR-32. • Use a standard CAT5 ethernet cable to connect the ADR-32 to your network hub. Default IP Address The ADR-32 router IP Address is set to 192.168.1.160 at the factory. In order to connect using the X-Point software, the PC must have a matching network prefix (i.e 192.168.1.xxx).

Output Channel IDs are assigned directly to the output devices. • Signal Type - Each input and output in the ADR-32 is associated with a type of signal. These include mono, stereo, or surround sound. The importance of this information at configuration time is the number of channels each signal consumes.
