Adding The TS-4 To The Peripheral Devices* Tab
In order to utilize all the features of the TS-4 Talent Station the
device must be added to the System Peripheral Devices tab in the
Wheatstone WheatNet-IP Navigator program (aka the Navigator
GUI). This sheet shows you the basics of that procedure. Refer
to the WheatNet‑IP BLADE 3 Audio Over IP Network Technical
Manual for additional details.
You will need to know the IP address of the device being
added, so you will want to nd that out before you start.
Launch the Navigator GUI and make sure that System 0 is
selected in the System pane. You will see something like this:
Now select the Peripheral Devices tab.
Click the Add button to bring up the Add Peripheral
Device dialog:
Type in a convenient Name and insert the IP Address
of the device being added. Leave the TCP Port at the
default setting of 60021. From the Host BLADE drop
down select the BLADE that you want to associate the
Peripheral device with. Click Ok.
This completes the process of adding the device to
the Peripheral Devices tab. The added device should
show up in the System pane under the BLADE you
added it to. If it does not show up, or if it shows up but
has a yellow question mark on it, then there is either a
network issue that needs attention, or the device is not
connected to the network at all, or one or more steps have been omitted or done incorrectly
in the conguration process.
* In previous Navigator GUI versions this was the System 3rd Party Devices tab.
