Navigating the File Menu

Open Environment

Use the Open Environment command to open a previously
saved environment. An environment is a collection of receiver
channel detail settings for the currently enabled receivers on
the network.
To open a saved environment:
1. Click on File > Open Environment.
2. In the Open Environment input pop-up, select the name
of the environment to open.
3. Click OK.

Save Environment

Use the Save Environment command to save the current
collection of receiver settings as an environment.
To save an environment:
1. Click on File > Save Environment.
2. In the Save Environment input pop-up, either choose an
already-entered environment name from the dropdown
menu (this will save the current environment over the
previous file), or select New Environment to enter a new
name, and click OK.
3. If you chose to enter a new environment name, type it in
the Environment Name pop-up and click OK, or click Cancel
to return without saving the environment.
Note: Saving an environment saves only the receiver
channel detail settings of the currently enabled receivers
on the network. It does not save any network receiver
configurations (which receivers are enabled or disabled on the
network.) Loading an environment will not enable previously
disabled receivers or disable previously enabled receivers.
Environments are based on the MAC addresses of the enabled
receivers. If these change, the environment will not load. An
error message box appears: No enabled receivers were
changed by this environment.

Receiver Configuration

Use the Receiver Configuration command to open the
Receiver Configuration window. This window allows you to
enable or disable receivers on your network, and change the
channel strips' display order on the Main System window.
When the software first starts up, it looks for receivers within
its network. Any receivers it finds appear in the Network
Configuration window as Discovered. Any receiver that is
discovered may be enabled in the Receiver Configuration
window, unless it is in use by another computer.
Note: Normally a receiver may be enabled on only one
computer connected to the network at a time. Other computers
on the network will be able to view the receiver's IP address in
Network Configuration window, but they will not be able to
enable the receiver in the receiver configuration window.
If the AE Reflector Service is installed and activated on a
Windows PC, multiple users can access and make changes to
any receivers connected to the network. Refer to Page 15 for
information on installing and using the AE Reflector.

Installing and Using the Software
(Continued)

To change the order of display of a receiver:

1. Click on File > Receiver Configuration.
2. In the Receiver Configuration window, click on the receiver
to select it.
3. Click on Move Up or Move Down to change its display
order.
4. Click OK to accept the changes and return to the Main
window, or Cancel to return to the Main window without
applying the changes.

To enable or disable a receiver:

1. Click on File > Receiver Configuration.
2. In the Receiver Configuration window, click on the receiver
to select it.
3. Click on Enable/Disable. (Enable allows you to activate a
discovered receiver; Disable allows you to free up a
discovered receiver so that other users on the network
may access it.) If the unit is enabled, Disable will display
on the button, and vice versa.
4. Click OK to accept the changes and return to the Main
System window, or Cancel to return to the Main System
window without applying the changes.
5. The system applies your changes and reconnects to the
network.
Note: Disabling either channel of an AEW-R5200 unit
disables the entire receiver (channels 1 and 2), thus freeing
an Ethernet port. Any AEW-R4100 units linked to the
AEW-R5200 are also disabled.
Caution: Any time you make changes to the
Receiver Configuration, the software performs a
Reconnect to Network. All receivers are muted
during this process. Therefore, do not make
changes to Receiver Configuration at any time
when system muting would be undesirable!

Network Configuration

The Network Configuration window shows information such
as IP address, MAC address, Firmware version (of the receiver
unit), Enabled status (enabled or disabled), and Discovered
status (detected or added) for all receivers in the system.
Until receivers have familiar frequency settings or receiver
names, you may not be able to distinguish them, unless you
know which receivers are using which IP addresses.

To add a remote receiver by entering its IP address:

From the Network Configuration window, click Add... and
enter the IP address in the Input pop-up. (See page 10 for an
application of this feature.)
Caution: Any time you make changes to the
Network Configuration, the software performs a
Reconnect to Network. All receivers are muted
during this process. Therefore, do not make
changes to Network Configuration at any time
when system muting would be undesirable!

Exit

Use the Exit command to close all windows and exit the
software.
