Step ) With System Architect running in Windows, power up the remaining loudspeakers connected to
the network one or two at a time. System Architect will automatically determine an IP address and a HiQnet
Address for each loudspeaker on the network assuming the devices populating the network are new units
(DHCP ENABLED). This can require up to  minutes in some cases. Once completed an Icon in the venue
view will appear representing the JBL Loudspeaker system connected to the network.
Step ) If System Architect fails to recognize network devices within about two minutes, make sure all of
your connections are good and verify IP addressing. Launch the Readdress Devices wizard and repeat
steps  -  in the above procedure.
DISABLE DHCP/AUTO HIQNET ADDRESS IN SYSTEM ARCHITECT™:
Step 1) Click on any previous icons showing in venue view, and press the Delete key.
Step ) Select TOOLS->Readdress Devices, click NEXT
Step ) The master computer should discover the HiQnet™ products powered up on the network. If not,
please make sure all of your connections are good and verify IP addressing.
Step ) Once the wizard has launched and found devices on the network, select a single component (It will
highlight) - click on the CONFIGURE button located on the bottom of the window.
Step 5) System Architect will have detected the device, automatically assigned a HiQnet address and
disabled the "Readdress Automatically" function. You can manually assign a HiQnet address if desired.
Step 6) Un-check the box labeled "Use DHCP"
Step 7) The IP Address entry box will un-dim.
Step 8) In the Set Address window, set up a Static IP address—The IP address consists of a set of  three-
digit numbers separated by a dot and must be unique. Network wizard will have already assigned an IP
address in the 169.5.X.Y range. You can start by leaving the IP address assigned by network wizard
or perhaps just change the X (third) number segment value to the same number in all devices. Start with
an address for example 169.5.1.Y. Enter the same number sets in the Subnet mask field for all of the
components as well as the master computer. Set the HiQnet address on each device sequentially. You can
change the IP address to a completely unique range at a later time, for example 16.16.0.Y or 19.168.1.Y
etc. You may want to create a network system log and write down all of your device IP addresses in your log
for future reference.
Step 9) Click OK. The Configure Node window will close.
Step 10) Repeat the procedure for all remaining devices on the network.
