8.  The VTX-WM1 card can now be fitted 

in place; the two rear supports should 

engage with the edge of the heatsinks, 
and the RJ-45 Ethernet connector should 

protrude through the rear panel slot. 
The two previously empty holes in the 
amplifier rear panel should align with the 

tapped holes in the card’s rear brackets; 

secure the card using the two screws 
supplied.

9.  Locate the spare internal AC cable coming 

from the amplifier power transformer. This 
will have one red and two yellow wires 
and will terminate in a 3-pin Molex plug. 
It may be cable-tied; if so, cut the tie. Plug 

the connector into the large 3-pin Molex 

header on the front left corner of the 
VTX-WM1 card.

10.  Fix the new rear plate (supplied) over the 

card slot using the two screws removed 
in Step 3, so that the RJ-45 connector is 
engaged with the square hole in the plate. 
Replace the top cover.

11.  We recommend that the amplifier is 

connected to a computer at this stage 
to check communications. Connect the 

VTX-WM1 card’s Ethernet port to the 
network port on a computer using a 
standard CAT5 (or CAT5-e) network 
cable, terminated with RJ45 plugs. Either 
a “straight” or a “crossed” cable may be 

used, as the VTX-WM1 auto-detects the 

data lines. Power the amplifier on; it is 
not necessary at this stage to connect 
any audio inputs or outputs. Turn the 
computer on and check that it has a static 

IP address of the form 192.168.0.xxx, 
where xxx can be any value between  
1 and 254 except 127. Launch the Internet 
browser normally used (e.g., Microsoft 
Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, 

etc.)

12.  Type the card’s default IP address - 

192.168.0.127 - into the URL field of the 

browser, and the screen shown below 
should appear:

 

The amplifier type listed in the 

Model

 

column should be that of the amplifier 
in use. This confirms that the data 
communications section of the card is 
operating correctly. The card’s IP address 
can be changed subsequently, and this 

procedure is discussed in “Entering site 
and amplifier information” on page 8.

13.  Close the browser application. The 

amplifier may now be disconnected from 

the computer and powered off. Reinstall in 
the rack and reconnect all rear cables.

14.  Repeat the above procedure for the 

remaining VTX amplifiers.
