Attention!
This Wheatstone IP-12/IP-16 system is factory congured as a standalone
system.
The IP-12/IP-16 control surface is congured with a default IP address of
192.168.87.201.
The WheatNet-IP 88cb Console BLADE is congured with a default
IP address of 192.168.87.101.
If the default addresses will work for you, there is no need to do any
network conguration of either the IP-12/IP-16 Control Surface or the
Console BLADE. However, if you intend to install the IP-12 system as part
of a larger WheatNet-IP system, you will need to change the default IP ad-
dresses of both the IP-12 and the Console BLADE. Careful consideration
should be given when planning your IP Address scheme to ensure there
are no IP address conicts that could render the system inoperable.
If you have additional questions or should you need assistance, please
contact Wheatstone support. Support can be reached by calling 252-638-7000
or email at [email protected].

Adding Devices To The 3rd Party Tab
In order to utilize all the features of the IP‑12/IP‑16 control
surface the device must be added to the System 3rd Party 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 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, to the right of the System pane, select the System 3rd Party Devices tab.
Click the Add button to bring up the Add 3rd Party 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
3rd Party device with. Click Ok.
This completes the process of adding the device to the
System 3rd Party 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
General Information
Introduction
The Wheatstone twelve- or sitxeen-input IP-12/IP-16 control surface offers a great
way for a small to medium radio operation to enter the world of networked audio.
Tapping into the power of WheatNet-IP Intelligent Network technology through the
use of the included WheatNet-IP 88cb audio Console Blade/mix engine, it’s a perfect
low-cost, small-footprint solution.
Each of the 12/16 input modules is equipped with an LED source name display
and an A/B source selector whose sources can be set via a rotary encoder in the master
section. Each input module has access to four program busses and has cue and talkback
switches. A 100mm long-throw fader and lighted channel ON/OFF switches round out
the module. The master section offers control room, studio, and headphone controls
with source selection, and an onboard headphone jack and amplier. Timer controls, a
master talkback button, and a built-in cue speaker with volume control are provided.
There are four event switches and six programmable buttons available for user functions.
The meterbridge has three stereo pairs of bright 30-segment horizontal LED bargraph
meters, as well as an on-board timer with controls located in the master section.
