Vi5000/7000 User Manual 18.1: NETWORK CONFIGURATION
VM ² > NETWORK CONFIGURATION
IP Configuration
Select either Dynamic (DHCP) or Manual (MAN) IP configuration.
If you are using a DHCP server to automatically configure the IP setup, wait for several seconds until an IP address
appears in the IP ADDRESS Vistonics control fields. You will also see it on the far left of the HiQnet page.
After the mode has been changed, or after a manual address has been entered, a SET button will appear next to
the rotary control and must be pressed to activate the change.
IP Address Entry
Set IP address for the console.
For use with Manual (MAN) IP Configuration. Use the row of VST encoders to dial-in the required IP address for
the console. The available ranges of valid IP addresses are 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255; 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255;
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255. Some IP addresses within the ranges show are not allowed due to conflicts with
other parts of the Vi system – they will be greyed out and not available for selection.
Subnet Mask Entry
Set the subnet mask.
For use with Manual (MAN) IP Configuration. Use the row of VST encoders to dial-in the subnet mask.
HiQnet node address entry (console)
Set the console's HiQnet Node Address using the keyboard editor on the touch screen.
The HiQnet node address can be any number in the range 1 – 65,535 but it must be a unique number within the
network in order to avoid conflicts with other HPro devices. You can use Audio Architect to find out what the
node addresses of other equipment are. Note that it will take up to 10 seconds for the new address to appear after
the Enter button on the keyboard is pressed, and the console will be unresponsive during this time –this is normal.
HiQnet On
Enable HiQnet functionality.
Once the IP address is set and the HiQnet node address has been confirmed as unique in the network, you can
enable the HiQnet functionality by pressing the ON button in the far left Vistonics control. Enabling HiQnet will
cause all the Vistonics controls in the section to change from greyed-out to orange. A list of information relating
to the current HiQnet setup including a green 'OK' indicator is now displayed on the left side of the HiQnet Setup
page, indicating a healthy connection.
