Fig. A Connecting the AEW-R5200 to a computer and an existing DHCP-supporting network.
WARNING:
The Ethernet card in this receiver is
programmed to search for a DHCP server. If it does
not locate one, it automatically sets the receiver to
a default IP address of 10.20.30.40. Connecting
multiple AEW-R5200 receivers to a non-DHCP
network would result in all receivers being set to IP
address 10.20.30.40, causing contention.
We do not recommend using the AEW-R5200 on a non-DHCP
network. If your network does not support DHCP, ask the network
administrator for assistance. He or she will need to determine
whether any equipment on the network is using the IP address
10.20.30.40. If the address is available, it is possible that one
receiver may work on the network; however, this should be
determined by the network administrator.

Installing the Hardware
Depending on how the AEW-R5200 receiver will be used, the
installation and hookup process differs. For most applications,
however, setting up the AEW-R5200 is a simple process. For
example, if several receivers will be taken on tour and controlled via
a computer, it will be necessary to set up a stand-alone network for
use by only the computer and the receivers. If, however, a receiver
will be used in a permanent installation in a building with its own
network, it might be necessary to set up the receiver to work with
the existing network.
Master and slave receivers
Because the AEW-R5200 unit houses two channels, channel #1
is always the Master, and channel #2 is always Slave_1 of a two-
channel system comprising that single AEW-R5200 unit. Any AEW-
R5200 units that are part of a system connected by Ethernet cables
will contain one master and one slave channel per unit.
AEW-R5200 receivers will work with other AEW-R5200 and
AEW-R4100 units; up to 19 receiver channels per band may work
together, depending upon clear frequencies available. One
AEW-R5200 can act as the master receiver for multiple AEW-R5200
and AEW-R4100 receivers, which, if connected using the included
link cables, all become slaves.
Note: Do not connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port and a
link cable to the AEW-R5200's LINK OUT jack at the same time.
General instructions for hardware installation
Following are instructions for connecting receivers to an existing
network and for connecting receivers to a computer without a
network.
If your network supports DHCP (which automatically sets IP addresses
for devices on the network), you can connect a single AEW-R5200
directly to an active network port. (Check with your network
administrator before connecting anything to the network.) Or you can
use an Ethernet hub to connect one or more AEW-R5200 units to an
existing network that is also connected to your computer.
If you do not have access to a network connection (such as on tour
when traveling with a laptop computer), the AEWCI software can still
be used with an Ethernet-connected AEW-R5200 receiver. Receivers
can be connected via DHC- supporting router or via the computer’s
Ethernet card.
