Special Nexgen/WheatNet-IP 
Functions 

A number of special functions are available to perform utility 
mixer and LIO control from Nexgen.  

On the Nexgen workstation, click Configure and CPU and then 
double click on the desired CPU. On the window that pops up, 
click IO. Click the Board tabs until you find one that is unused, 
then from the pull-down list click Wheatnet UIO. The device 
number should be 1. Next click Settings. Set the IP address of 
the associated IP blade and the port to 55776. For UMX-1 
select mixer number 1 and output bus A. This opens 
communication between Nexgen and the blade.
