AEWCI Software Manual Installing the Hardware Depending on how the AEW-R5200 receiver will be used, the installation and hookup process differs. For most applications, however, setting up the AEW-R5200 is a simple process. For example, if several receivers will be taken on tour and controlled via a computer, it will be necessary to set up a stand-alone network for use by only the computer and the receivers.
AEWCI Software Manual To connect one or more AEW-R5200 receivers to an existing network to which your computer is also connected: (Figure B) You will need an Ethernet hub and sufficient Ethernet cables to connect all receivers to the hub, plus one cable to connect the hub to the network. 1. Check with the network administrator to make certain the network you are connecting to supports DHCP. If it does not, ask the network administrator for assistance before proceeding. 2.

AEWCI Software Manual To connect multiple receivers via link cables (for systems that include AEW-R4100 receivers, or for systems without access to multiple Ethernet connections): The AEW-R5200 receiver has the capacity to connect to other AEW-R5200 receivers and/or to AEW-R4100 receivers via the included link cables. No network is required for this configuration.
AEWCI Software Manual To set up remote access to the AEW-R5200 via the Internet: Warning: Accessing a company’s network through a firewall opens the network to security risks. This procedure should be set up and executed with extreme caution. Because DHCP routers may change each receiver’s IP address upon receiver reboot, connection to the AEW-R5200 receivers may be lost, and the remote user may gain unintended access to other areas of the network.
