18 TYPE R Radio Production System Start Up Guide
Assist may be accessed via the front-facing Setup port by navigating to 172.16.255.25 in Google Chrome, however the Setup
port may not be connected to a local area network (LAN) and in a studio install scenario may not therefore be readily accessible to
an operator or engineer’s PC. It is therefore recommended that the PC accessing Assist is now connected to the network switch
that serves the surface panels instead. By default, all user interfaces may be accessed via the rear network interfaces, using either
a “Management” or a “Studio A” subnet. The “Management” subnet resides in the 172.29/16 address space and provides
access to all applications and services running on the core. The “Studio A” subnet resides in the 172.17/16 address space
and provides access to the Assist, Core Configure & Calrec Connect a p p l i c a t i o n s , a s w e l l a s t h e c o n s o l e c o n t r o l s e r v i c e .
Note: Type R is designed to support a Touch Interface if the PC provides this.
To use either subnet configure your PC’s ethernet adaptor as follows:
• Management - IP address 172.29.0.1, subnet mask 255.255.0.0
• Studio A - IP address 172.17.0.1, subnet mask 255.255.0.0
Note: Default “Studio B” and “Studio C” subnets will be added in a later version
