New Project Set-up Wizard - continued...
The IP500UHD-TZ is shipped as standard in Encoder (Transmitter) mode. Where the unit is required to be a Decoder
(Receiver), please change the units mode by pressing and holding the Mode button on the front of the unit before
searching for the unit in the ACM500 GUI.
There are two methods for adding new Multicast Transmitter and Receiver devices to a system, please choose one
before clicking 'Start Scan':
Method 1: connect ALL Blustream Multicast Transmitter and Receiver units to the network switch with their factory
default IP addresses (169.254.100.254). This method will quickly configure all devices with their own individual IP
addresses based on the following:
Transmitters:
The first Transmitter will be given the IP address of 169.254.3.1. The next Transmitter will be assigned an IP
address of 169.254.3.2 and so on....
Once the IP range of 169.254.3.x is filled (254 units), the software will auto assign an IP address of 169.254.4.1
and so on...
Once the IP range of 169.254.4.x is filled the software will auto assign an IP address of 169.254.5.1 and so on
until 169.254.4.254
Receivers:
The first Receiver will be given the IP address of 169.254.6.1. The next Receiver will be assigned an IP address
of 169.254.6.2 and so on....
Once the IP range of 169.254.6.x is filled (254 units) the software will auto assign an IP address of 169.254.7.1
and so on...
Once the IP range of 169.254.7.x is filled the software will auto assign an IP address of 169.254.8.1 and so on
until 169.254.8.254
Once complete, devices will need to be identified manually - this method will auto-assign product IP addresses and
ID's to each device connected to the network switch randomly (not by switch port).
Method 2: connect each Blustream Multicast Transmitter and Receiver to the network one-by-one. The Set-up
Wizard will configure the units sequentially as they are connected / found. This method allows for the control of
the sequential assigning of IP addresses and ID's of each product - the Transmitter / Receiver units can therefore be
labelled accordingly.
