AEWCI Software Manual

To set up remote access to the AEW-R5200 via
the Internet:
It is possible to configure your LAN or Internet connection to access
the receivers from a remote location using a computer equipped with
AEWCI software. Procedures for this setup will vary, depending upon
your network and any firewalls that may be in place. Ask the network
administrator for assistance.
Here are some general guidelines for accessing a system via the
Internet:
1. The remote engineer gains access to the client’s network (via
dial-up, network connection, or other Internet access). To do
so, he or she needs specific IP addresses, especially if the
client's network has a firewall.
2. The engineer then gains access to the AEW-R5200 receivers
by running the AEWCI software. The remote receiver can be
added by going to File>Network Configuration and clicking
Add… to add the receiver’s IP address. For instructions, see
page 12.
Installing the Software
Installing the software (PC)
1. Insert the AEWCI disk.
2. If Autoplay is enabled, setup will begin automatically.
Otherwise, go to Start>Run and type the path
(e.g., D:\setup.exe) to the Setup file on the AEWCI disk.
3. InstallShield™ will install the AEWCI software as well as the
system manual and software manual in PDF format. Follow
the prompts on the screen.
4. The installer automatically installs a desktop shortcut for
the software.
Installing the software (Mac)
1. Insert AEWCI disk and the open the disk icon (AEWCI 3.0).
2. Double click the ArtistElite-3.0.dmg icon. This will create a
mounted file system called ArtistElite. If the file system does
not open, double click the icon for the mounted system.
3. Drag the ArtistElite program file into your applications folder.
For user convenience, the owner’s manuals are included on the
AEWCI disk in Adobe PDF format.
Caution:
Before you start the software, make
certain your receivers are powered (all at once,
or slaves first, then master). The receivers must be
on and connected to the network or directly to the
computer for the software to recognize them.
If you accidentally start the software before power-
ing the receivers, you have two options: 1) close
the software and restart after receivers are pow-
ered; or 2) go to Tools > Reconnect to Network to
search for new connections.
WARNING: Accessing a company’s network
through a firewall opens the network to security
risks. This procedure should be set up and executed
with extreme caution. Because DHCP routers may
change each receiver’s IP address upon receiver
reboot, connection to the AEW-R5200 receivers
may be lost, and the remote user may gain
unintended access to other areas of the network.
Getting started
1. Power-on all networked receivers on the system (all at once,
or slaves first, then master).
2. Go to Start>Programs>Audio-Technica>Artist Elite Wireless
Control Interface and click. (Alternatively, double-click on the
desktop shortcut.)
After the splash screen (the screen that appears while the software
is loading) disappears, you will view the Main System window. The
first time you load the software, the screen will show any receivers
connected within your subnet. (A subnet [short for “subnetwork”] is
an identifiably separate part of an organization's network. Having an
organization's network divided into subnets allows it to be connected
to the Internet with a single, shared network address.)
To enable additional receivers outside your subnet, go to
File>Network Configuration and enter the IP address to add the
receiver (see page 12). Once the receiver has been added and
communication established, go to File>Receiver Configuration and
enable the receiver. See page 12 for more details.
