of receivers, it’s common practice to position all the AEW-R5200 units first in the chain; followed any
AEW-R4100 units.
Note 1: For the receiver linking to work, all receivers in the system must have AC power applied at the
same time, or the Master receiver must be turned on last.
Note 2: In addition, if AC power is interrupted or a link connection is broken at any receiver in a linked
system, even for an instant, receivers from that unit onward are no longer linked to the system. When all
power and linking have been restored, the system must be restarted by turning all the receivers Off, then
On (all turned on simultaneously, or the Master receiver must be turned on last). This will re-initialize the
system and re-establish all the data links.

Ethernet connections (AEW-R5200): An RJ-45 jack on the rear panel of each AEW-R5200 provides an
Ethernet 10 BaseT data/control connection from both of its channels to an external computer system.
Data monitored includes actual, real-time “RF” and “AF” levels for receiver channels with direct Ethernet
connections to the associated computer. All other linked receivers in a system supply control-function
access and all their data – except for “RF” and “AF” levels – to the computer connected to the Master
receiver.
Multiple AEW-R5200 receivers in a system can each provide real-time “RF” and “AF” levels to the
associated computer if each AEW-R5200 has its own Ethernet connection, through an Ethernet hub, to
the computer.
Other than being able to “see” the “RF” and “AF” levels, all functions of all receivers in a linked system
can be monitored and controlled from the computer connected to the Master receiver.
