Configuring L-8 for Use in WheatNet-IP Systems

In order to use a L-8 control surface with the WheatNet-IP system it must be properly

configured. There are two parts to this configuration. First, the control surface must be

equipped with the correct version of WheatNet‑IP specific software. If you have or

dered your control surface as a part of a WheatNet-IP system, this will be taken care of

automatically. If you are moving a control surface purchased previously, its software may

need to be updated. Consult with Wheatstone Technical Support; they can assist you with

any required software updates.

The second part of the configuration is to mate a specific control surface to its mixing

engine BLADE 3 within the WheatNet‑IP system. This mate up process is actually done

at the control surface itself. To complete this process successfully, the control surface and

its intended WheatNet‑IP engine must be powered up and connected to the same LAN.

First, be sure that you know the BLADE 3 ID and IP address of the intended WheatNet-IP

engine BLADE 3. This BLADE 3 must be available and unassociated with any other

control surface. You can confirm this information via the front panel controls on the engine

BLADE 3, or from the WheatNet‑IP Navigator GUI.

The L‑8 control surface comes with the

Wheatnet IP L8 Setup Tool

Graphical User

Interface (GUI) program, intended to be straightforward in setup connection between the

control surface and the Console BLADE3. Click on the

Engine

tab and enter the Blade ID

and IP address in the boxes provided,

and verify that the IP address of the

control surface is correct (it must be

on the same subnet as the BLADE 3s).

While you are at it, it is highly recom

mended that you use the IP address

number convention for the control

surface IP address. This convention

makes it easier to understand and

trouble shoot your system architec-

ture. Simply take the ID number of the

engine BLADE 3 and add 200 to it.

Thus Engine BLADE 3 ID=02 would

have IP address 192.168.87.102 and

the mating surface would have IP

address 192.168.87.202.

Reboot the control surface.

Once the control surface has been associated with a WheatNet‑IP engine,

the BLADE 3 will query the surface for its configuration information and

then automatically generate the required source and destination signals.
