Warning: Do not connect an Ethernet cable to
the Ethernet port and a link cable to the AEW-
R5200 unit’s OUT jack at the same time. Doing
so will cause the system to function incorrectly or
not at all. Only the master receiver may have a link
cable connected to its IN jack and an Ethernet
cable connected to a computer or network.
To connect multiple receivers via link cables
(for systems that include AEW-R4100 receivers,
or for systems without access to multiple
Ethernet connections):
The AEW-R5200 receiver has the capacity to connect to other
AEW-R5200 receivers and/or to AEW-R4100 receivers via the included
link cables. No network is required for this configuration. Channel 1 of
the first unit in the chain will automatically act as the master unit and
must be connected via Ethernet cable to the computer or network.
Consult the receiver/system manual for full details.
Never connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port and a link cable
to the AEW-R5200 unit's OUT jack at the same time.
To link receivers via link cables:
1. Make certain that all receivers are turned off, and make certain
that an AEW-R5200 unit is first in the chain (i.e., has no link
cable attached to its LINK OUT jack). The software will not run
with an AEW-R4100 unit as master.
2. Link receivers to one another using the provided link cables.
When running link cables from one unit to another, connect the
cable from the OUT jack of unit 2 to the IN jack on unit 1, the
cable from the OUT jack of unit 3 to the IN jack of unit 2, and
so on. (See Figure E.)
3. Connect the master AEW-R5200 unit to the network (page 6)
or computer (page 7).
4. Power the receivers as instructed in Installing the
Software (page 9), and then run the software on your
connected computer.
Note 1: Occasions may arise for which you wish to set up a system
comprising one master AEW-R5200 and multiple slave AEW-R5200
units. (For example, you may not have access to enough Ethernet
ports to connect all receivers.) To make certain that all subordinate
units function as slaves, you must use link cables instead of Ethernet
cables. Channel 1 of each AEW-R5200 unit that is connected to
an Ethernet hub or port will set itself as the master receiver of any
receivers linked to it via link cable.
However, be aware that AF- and RF-level data are not transmitted
via link cable. If you wish to monitor these features using the AEWCI
software, each AEW-R5200 must be connected via Ethernet cable.
AEW-R4100 receivers do not have Ethernet ports; therefore, they
must be linked to an AEW-R5200 via link cable, and you will not be
able to monitor the AEW-R4100’s RF or AF levels using the AEWCI
software.
Note 2: The AEW-R5200 may also be connected to a system using
a wireless network access point and wireless Ethernet network card
for maximum flexibility. Consult the manufacturers’ instructions for
these components for more information on using them with your
computer.
Note 3: If the master AEW-R5200 Receiver is connected directly to
the computer, (no network), refer to Page 7, for instructions on how to
connect a single AEW-R5200 directly to a computer’s Ethernet card.
