Adding The LIO-48 To The Peripheral Devices* Tab In order to utilize all the features of the LIO‑48 Multiple Port Logic I/O BLADE the device must be added to the System Peripheral Devices tab in the Wheatstone WheatNet‑IP Navigator program (aka the Navigator GUI). This sheet shows you the basics of that procedure.

The unit has no user‑serviceable parts inside! If you have a problem the unit must be returned to Wheatstone Corporation for repair. Installation Tips • Place any surge protection circuits as close as possible to the LIO‑48 or other device being protected.
G E N E R A L I N F O R M A T I O N Energizing Once it has been installed in the rack, the LIO-48 may be energized by connecting the factory supplied power cord to a source of AC power. The AC line input voltage is permitted to be between 90 and 260VAC, 50 or 60Hz.
G E N E R A L I N F O R M A T I O N destination wired to an output jack is an “output,” control surface fader channels would not normally be considered “outputs” but they are “destinations” in the WheatNet‑IP system, because you can route a WheatNet‑IP audio stream to them.
G E N E R A L I N F O R M A T I O N Network Switches The next component of the WheatNet-IP system is your network switch(es). These are standard Ethernet devices that form the core of your LAN. You may already have a suitable one in place in your facility.
G E N E R A L I N F O R M A T I O N Logic Ports Connections The rear panel has eight RJ-45 connectors that have the connections for all 48 ports (each RJ-45 has connections for six ports). Two DB-25 female connectors duplicate the logic port connections.

F R O N T P A N E L O P E R A T I O N Front Panel Operation First Time Power Up With the LIO-48 disconnected from the network, apply power by connecting its AC power cord to the AC power source. You will see a test pattern of LEDs on the front panel, and there will be a sequence of characters on the backlit display.
F R O N T P A N E L O P E R A T I O N Making The Basic Network Settings Let’s say, for our example, that the LIO-48 we are currently setting up is going to use an IP address of 192.168.87.236, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and a gateway setting of 192.168.87.1.
F R O N T P A N E L O P E R A T I O N At this point you will need to power cycle the LIO-48 to apply the new settings. Disconnect the AC power cord, wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the AC power to the unit.

F R O N T P A N E L O P E R A T I O N An example can help clarify this description. Let’s say the display reads like this: The IN section indicates the following information about logic ports 1 – 6: port 1 is not an input port port 2 is not an input port port 3 is an input port and is OFF...
