1) Configuration of R2 Address
Thefirstthingwhichshouldbedone,isconfiguringtheIPandbusaddressesofalldevicesusedinyour

Method 1:
ConnectonedevicetoEthernet,andcontroltheotherdevicesinyoursetupthroughthesameIPaddress.
Thedatawillbetransferredbetweenthedevicesoverthefiberconductor.Theadvantageofthismethod
is:OnlyoneEthernetconnectionisnecessary.Thedisadvantageofthismethodis:youcanonlyseethe
VUmetersintheuserinterfaceoftheR2whichisdirecltlyconnectedtotheEthernetnetwork.(Allother
settingscanmemade,excepttheVUmeterbargraphwhichisonlyvisibleforthedirectconnectedR2)

IP Basics
ManyAUDACproductsarecontrollablebyEthernet.TheEthernetconnectionwhichisusedontheAUDAC
productsisTCP/IPbasedlike99%ofthecomputernetworks.Therearesomebasicswhichyouneedto
knowtosuccessfullymakeaTCP/IPEthernetconnection.
ThedatainTCP/IPnetworksisalwayssendinpackages,allthesepackagesmustbedeliveredatanunique
address,justlikethemailmandeliversmailatyourhomemailbox.InTCP/IPnetworks,thisaddressiscalled
the“IPaddress”.TheIPaddressisalwaysanumberinthefollowingformat“192.168.000.001”.Asyoucan
see,thisaddressconsistsof4separatenumbersrangingfrom“000”to“255”.
Insimpleterms,onlythelatestnumberofanIPaddresscanbedifferentwithinanetwork,sothereis
amaximumof256uniqueaddresseswithinanetwork,rangingfrom“xxx.xxx.xxx.000”to“xxx.xxx.
xxx.255”.Thefirstthreenumbersmustbethesametomakecommunicationbetweenseveraldevices
possible,elsethedevicescannotcommunicatewitheachother.
Example:
Device1:
IPaddress:
192.168.000.001
Device2:
IPaddress:
192.168.000.002
Device3:

same“IPrange”tocommunicatewitheachother.
The“IPrange”ofhomeandofficenetworksaredefinedbythenetworkadministrator,thismeansthatthe
IPrangeofyourhomeorofficenetworkcanbedifferentfromanothernetwork.
