IP50HD IP Addresses
Each Blustream IP50HD device is shipped with a default fixed IP address (TX: 169.254.100.254, RX: 169.254.100.253).
Once the PC network is amended to work in the same IP range as the fixed IP of the Multicast products, it is possible to
communicate directly with the built-in web server in each Multicast IP50HD Transmitter or Receiver.
Following configuration using either manual configuration or the ACM200 Web-GUI, or the web-GUI interface of the
device itself, the unit will have a different IP address to that of the factory default. The IP address of a configured
Multicast product can be found by pressing and holding the ‘UP’ channel button on the product for 5 seconds, the
product IP address will be shown using the front panel display by displaying each of the 4 numeric parts of the IP
address in order.
Please note:
The LCD can only display a 3-digit number, as such the the LCD display will flash 4 times, each with
a different number. Adding a dot between these 4 numbers will form the complete IP address of the product, for
example:
1 6 9

Entering the fixed IP address (for new units), or the configured IP address of a configured unit, into a web browser on a
PC, gives access to the units configuration for monitoring, resetting, firmware upgrading, or further configuration.
On entering the unit IP address into a web browser, a login screen will be shown. The credentials to login are:

The ACM200 web-GUI can also be used to show all connected Multicast products within a system. Blustream also uses
an IP Address schema that keeps all Multicast devices in the Link-Local IP range (169.254.xxx.xxx) so that it does not
interfere with any other devices on the network as well as making configuration simple.
Transmitters:
The first product to be assigned an IP address when using the ACM200 web-GUI will be given the IP address of
169.254.3.1. The next Transmitter will be assigned an IP address of 169.254.3.2 and so on....
Once the IP range of 169.254.3.x is filled (254 units), the unit will be auto-assigned of an IP address from 169.254.4.1
and so on...
Once the IP range of 169.254.4.x is filled (254 units), the unit will be auto-assigned of an IP address from 169.254.5.1 up
to 169.254.5.254 - this gives a maximum configuration of 762x transmitters in any systemusing the ACM200 web-GUI.
Receivers:
The first product to be assigned an IP address when using the ACM200 web-GUI will be given the IP address of
169.254.6.1. The next Receiver will be assigned an IP address of 169.254.6.2 and so on....
Once the IP range of 169.254.6.x is filled (254 units), the unit will be auto-assigned of an IP address from 169.254.7.1
and so on...
Once the IP range of 169.254.7.x is filled (254 units), the unit will be auto-assigned of an IP address from 169.254.8.1 up
to 169.254.8.254 - this gives a maximum configuration of 762x receivers in any system using the ACM200 web-GUI.
This part of the guide will explain the use of directly communicating with an individual unit. It is assumed the IP
address of the unit is known. Accessing the web-GUI of a Transmitter or Receiver directly should primarily be used as a
tool for checking configuration, or problem solving, rather than as a method for setting up a new system.
