Before Getting Started
The purpose of this document is to aid in the quick setup of your new Wheatstone
WheatNet-IP product. The WheatNet-IP product comes with a setup wizard that will
walk you through the setup process. This wizard is designed to help you get the system
up and running quickly with little effort. If you have any issues during the setup process
please contact Wheatstone Technical Support for further assistance at [phone].
Theguideassumesthatconnectivitywilltakeplacebyoneofthefollowingmethods.

Network Setup
BLADE ID
Once power is applied the BLADE Quick Setup wizard will start automatically,
assuming this is a first-time startup, and the front panel display should read as follows.
Rotate the encoder knob to the desired BLADE ID and press the TAKE button.
WheatNet-IP Quick Start Setup Guide
WheatNet-IP/ Jan 2010

Quick Start – 2
WheatNet-IP/ Apr 2009
Consideration should be given to the ID selection as no two BLADEs in the system
may have the same ID. The ID should be chosen based on system topology and should
reflect how the system will ultimately be configured.
Wheatstone recommends assigning ID “1” to the first BLADE you power up on the
network,ID“2”tothesecond,etc.Thenumbershavenorealsignificance,onlythatthey
must be unique.
IP Address
Based on the BLADE ID selected the wizard will recommend an IP address. The
defaultIPaddresswillbeinthe192.168.87.XXXscheme.Pressthe TAKEbuttonifthis
addressiscorrectforyournetworkschemeandthewizardwillautomaticallyadvanceto
“Signal Setup” section.
Consult the manual or Wheatstone Support if you cannot accept this IP Address.
Sample Rate
The WheatNet-IP system operates at 44.1kHz or 48kHz sample rates. Here you will
select the default sample rate at which the system will operate. It is a good idea to pick
a sample rate that your entire facility will adopt and stick with it. If 3rd party gear is
operatingatadifferentsampleratetheWheatNet-IPsystemiscapableofreceivinginputs
from 32kHz up to 96kHz and will up or down convert accordingly to the WheatNet-IP
sample rate.
Signal Setup
Now that the Network Setup is complete the wizard will assist with creating audio
signalsifdesired.TheWheatNet-IPunitisequippedwithsignaltemplatestoaidinquick
setup. These templates are standard signal setups that may be a good starting point,
dependingon theapplication. TheWheatNet-IP 88a, 88d,and 88adhave three template
layouts. Choose from Custom, Stereo I/O, and Mono I/O templates. The 88m has two
available templates, Mono_Mic and Stereo_Mic. The WheatNet-IP 88cb has three
template layouts. Choose from Custom, Console_Stereo_In, and Console_Mono_In
templates.
To select a template rotate the encoder knob to the desired template and press Take.
Custom Template
This template creates no signals. Instead the user will create the signals using the
Navigator GUI.
Stereo I/O Template

assignedbasedontheBLADEIDandwillhavea“BLxx_yy”namingconvention,where
“xx” is the BLADE ID and “yy” is source (or destination) 01 through 08.

Console I/O Template
This template creates and maps all connections needed to run your E-1 control
surface. This includes the four Program busses, along with the Headphone, Cue, and
Studio outputs. All surface output mixes are automatically routed to the Console
Blade’s rear panel connectors to help speed up the installation process.
ConnectionStatus
After completing the setup process the BLADE will attempt to join the network.
During this process a “Connecting...” message will appear on the display.
Once the BLADE has successfully joined the network the front panel will display:
To access the Main Menu rotate the encoder and select the desired option by
pressing “Take.”
Things To Look For In The Wizard
If an online BLADE is detected with the same ID the wizard will display the
following
“IP ALREADY IN USE! VERIFY SETUP”
Thismessage willbe displayeduntil the useracknowledges bypressing the TAKE
button. The wizard will then start over. Simply change the BLADE ID to a unique ID
and advance through the options.
Ifreplacing a failedBLADE onthe networkand youwish toassume theidentity of
the failed BLADE, select the ID previously used. This will place the new BLADE on
the network in a default configuration. Once online you may restore the previous
configuration from a backup copy using the WheatNet-IP Navigator GUI or the
BLADE Web Interface. For more information on backing up and restoring BLADE
configuration please refer to the WheatNet-IPNavigator GUI section of the manual.

Figure 2
For convenience, Wheatstone uses the following convention for IP Addressing in the
WheatNet-IP system:
1. The IP Address of a BLADE is equal to the BLADE ID plus 100; i.e.
BLADE 3 = 192.168.87.103
2.TheIP Address ofan E-6 controlsurface is equalto the EngineBLADE ID plus200;
i.e. Engine BLADE = 5, Surface IP Address = 192.168.87.205

Automatic or Manual.

ID This is where the ID of the Mix Engine Blade that will be associated with
the surface is assigned. One Mix Engine Blade supports a single surface.
