Configure the Initial Network Settings
Next the user connects the NWE-IP to the network and ensures it can communicate with a computer running the
latest DashBoard client software. The DashBoard client software enables you to monitor, configure, and operate
your NWE-IP.
This step requires that the user configure the initial network settings for the NWE-IP as outlined in the chapter
“ Initial Connection ” on page 27.
Configure the Basic Settings of the NWE-IP
The NWE-IP is now ready for configuration. To complete the setup, the user must:
1. Set up the media network by configuring the
Gb1
and
NET1
ports. Refer to “ Updating the Gb1 Port Settings ”
on page 33 and “ Updating the NET1 Port Settings ” on page 34.
2. Configure the PTP settings for the NWE-IP as outlined in “ Configuring the PTP Settings ” on page 43.
Connect to the 5.1 and Stereo Streams with Different Channel Counts
The 5.1 surround essence includes three streams with two channels, where the stereo essence is one stream of two
channels. The user needs to create a stream group for every related audio channel (e.g. stereo pair, 5.1 surround
channels) using the AES67 Receiver interface.
1. Use the AES Receiver interface to add a new group for each channel group as outlined in “
Creating Network
Stream Groups for the AES67 Receiver ” on page 40.
2. Configure the IP address and specify 6-channel for the stream size
 If all your streams use the same number of channels, you can change the default number under the Device Setup
tab.
3. Ensure that you set the Target Type for each group to 5.1 .
4. Map the audio accordingly as outlined in “ Routing a Network Stream Group to a Watermark Encoder
Channel ” on page 43.
Map the Sources to a Watermark Engine
Refer to “ Configuring a Watermark Encoder Channel ” on page 46.
