Accessing The Multicast Web-GUI Interface
Each Blustream Multicast product comes out of the box with a fixed IP address of 169.254.100.254. Once your PC network is
amended to work in the same IP range as the fixed IP of the Multicast products, you can communicate directly with the built-in
web server in each Multicast IP100 Transmitter or Receiver.
Once a Multicast product has been configured using the PC Wizard program, manual configuration or the Web GUI interface, it
will have a dierent IP address to that of the factory default unit. If you are unsure of the IP address of the Multicast product you
can press and hold the ‘UP’ channel button on each product for several seconds which will show the product ID/IP address. You
can also use the Blustream Multicast Wizard PC programs ‘Search’ feature to show all available Multicast products on the system.
Entering the fixed IP address (for new units), or the configured IP address of an already set-up unit, into a web browser on your
PC, gives you access to the units configuration for monitoring, resetting, firmware upgrading, or further configuration.
Transmitters
The first product to be assigned an IP address when using the PC Wizard is an IP100UHD-TX Transmitter which will be given the
IP address of 169.254.3.1. The next Transmitter will be assigned an IP address of 169.254.3.2 and so on....
Once the IP range of 169.254.3.x is filled (254 units), the PC wizard will continue the auto assign of an IP address from 169.254.4.1
and so on...
Once the IP range of 169.254.4.x is filled the PC wizard will auto assign an IP address of 169.254.5.1 and so on until 169.254.4.254
Receivers
Aer all Transmitter products have been setup the PC wizard will automatically assign an IP address to the Multicast Receivers.
The first IP100UHD-RX Receiver will be given the IP address of 169.254.6.1. The next Receiver will be assigned an IP address of
169.254.6.2 and so on....
Once the IP range of 169.254.6.x is filled (254 units) the PC wizard will continue the auto assign of an IP address from 169.254.7.1
and so on...
Once the IP range of 169.254.7.x is filled the PC wizard will auto assign an IP address of 169.254.8.1 and so on until 169.254.8.254
Once a system has been set-up, it can be diicult to know what products have been configured within the system. This part of
the guide will explain the use of directly comunicating with an individual unit. It is assumed therefore that you will already know
the IP address of the unit you want to communicate with. The Web-GUI is similar in function to the Blustream Multicast PC
Program with the majority of options on the Web-GUI being concurrently available within the PC program, however the Web-
GUI should primarily be used as a tool for checking configuration, or problem solving, rather than as a method for setting up a
new system.
Below is the ‘home’ screen of both the Transmitter and Receiver units that will be displayed on entering the IP address of the
unit you are connected to:
