Setting the HiQnet Node Address
Before enabling HiQnet, use the HIQNET ADDR Vistonics control to set a suitable HiQnet node address
for the console. The HiQnet node address can be any number in the range 1 – 65,535 but it must be a
unique number within the network in order to avoid conicts with other HPro devices.
You will need to use System Architect to nd out what the node addresses of other equipment are to
ensure there are no conicts. The Vi node address will be set to a default value of 2717 unless it has been
changed previously, and may be left at this address as long as this is not already being used elsewhere in
the network.
To set the HiQnet address, press the button within the HiQnet Address Vistonics control (see screenshot on
previous page). A keyboard will be opened which will allow the default address to be edited.
Note that it will take up to 10 seconds for the new address to appear after the Enter button on the
keyboard is pressed, and the console will be unresponsive during this time –this is normal.
Once the IP address is set and the HiQnet node address has been conrmed as unique in the network,
you can enable the HiQnet functionality by pressing the ON button in the far
left Vistonics control.
Enabling HiQnet will cause all the Vistonics controls in the section to change
from greyed-out to orange. A list of information relating to the current HiQnet
setup including a green ‘OK’ indicator is now displayed on the left side of the
HiQnet Setup page, indicating a healthy connection.
