GUI Log-In
Once the XPoint software has been installed and started,
a “Log In” dialog box will be displayed on the screen.
Administrator - allows logged in user complete access to
hardware configuration, signal naming, I/O crosspoint switch-
ing, and destination locking.
While in Admin mode you can change the password that
is used to enter Admin mode. Select the User/Change Pass-
word... menu option to bring up the “Change Password”
dialog box. Enter a password between 4 and 10 characters
long in the “New Password:” text box, then re-enter the
password in the “Verify Password:” text box. Click “OK” to
change the password or “Cancel” to cancel the operation.
Custom users access may be created at the
factory—contact Wheatstone sales.
Password
The default password is “Admin” for Adminis-
trator.
Once logged in as Administrator the GUI at-
tempts to connect to the switch and uploads the
current configuration and crosspoint status onto the
PC. This may take 30 seconds or more. Check the
lower left hand corner of the screen for connection
status.
Connecting E-WHEATNET and XPoint
E-WHEATNET and the PC running the XPoint GUI must be con-
nected together in a stand alone LAN through an Ethernet switch. All other
devices in the E-WHEATNET system (e.g. control surfaces, XY control-
lers, automation interfaces, etc.) will also be connected through this LAN.
E-WHEATNET should be installed, powered-up, and verified to be
operating normally; you should see source and destination signal names
in any XY controllers, and the ERROR LED should not be lit. Connect a
straight CAT5 cable from the LAN switch to E-WHEATNET’s RJ-45
ETHERNET jack on the rear. Likewise, the GUI should be installed on the
desired PC and also connected to the LAN.
