The available ranges of valid IP addresses are 10.0.0.0
- 10.255.255.255; 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255;
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255. Some IP addresses
within the ranges show are not allowed due to conicts
with other parts of the Vi system – they will be greyed out
and not available for selection.

HiQnet Node Address
using the keyboard edi-
tor on the touchscreen.
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 conicts with other HPro
devices. You can use Audio Architect to nd out what the
node addresses of other equipment are.
Note that it will take up to 10 seconds for the new ad-
dress to appear after the Enter button on the keyboard
is pressed, and the console will be unresponsive during
this time –this is normal.

ton in the far left Vistonics control. Enabling HiQnet will
cause all the Vistonics controls in the section to change

the current HiQnet setup including a green ‘OK’ indicator
is now displayed on the left side of the HiQnet Setup
