General Information
Unpacking the Router
The ADR-32 Router is shipped as one package, which contains the router,
X-Point CD, and technical manual.
Introduction
The ADR-32 Digital Audio Router is a rackmount unit occupying two 19”
wide rack spaces (total height 3.5”) with 16” depth.
The ADR-32 accepts up to 32 discrete analog stereo or digital audio inputs
in Audio Engineering Society (AES) format, and switches them to any of 32
stereo analog or digital outputs.
The ADR-32 cage may be fitted with up to 8 input and 8 output cards.
ADR-32 / Dec 2002

GENERAL INFORMATION
Power Supply
The ADR-32 is powered by a built-in Audioarts Model SPS-32
switching power supply, located under a metal cover. This power
supply contains high voltage circuits that are hazardous and potentially harmful. Under no circumstances should the metal cover beremoved! If you have a problem with the power supply, the ADR-32
unit must be returned to Wheatstone Corporation for repair.
The power supply wires to the 9-pin power connector CT18 or
CT19 on the PR-32 PCB with wire gauge 16AWG as shown below:
Pin 1 [WHT]: +5V Digital
Pin 2 [ORG]: +5V Digital
Pin 3 [BRN]: Digital Ground
Pin 4 [BLK]: Analog Ground
Pin 5 [GRN]: Digital Ground
Pin 6 [BLU]: -V
Pin 7 [BLK]: Analog Ground
Pin 8 [VIO]: +Phantom
Pin 9 [RED]: +V
Connect the console’s power cord to a clean 90V - 240V AC outlet
(that is, an AC source that feeds only the control room audio gear).
Note: each power supply is fitted with a 3-wire grounded AC cord
that should be plugged into a "clean" AC power source. This source
should be a separate feed from those powering lighting, air-conditioning, or any other non-audio machinery. The third pin ground wire of the
AC source should be tied to the central system ground point.
The optional external failsafe power supply is also available.
Consult factory for further information.
Audio Connections
All audio connections to the ADR-32 are made through multipin
DB-25 and DB-9 connectors located on the cage rear.
The factory supplied hand crimping tool is used for all I/O wiring
connections to and from the router (see instruction on the page 1-5).
Digital Audio Connections
CABLE - All AES/EBU input and output digital audio connections
are balanced and should be made using a high quality digital audio
cable. Be sure to select a digital audio cable with an integral drain wire
ADR-32 / Dec 2002
page 1 – 3
Page 11
GENERAL INFORMATION
of the same wire gauge (AWG) as the twisted pair as this facilitates an
easier and consistent termination process. Typical AES/EBU digital audio
cable has a very low characteristic capacitance per ft (pF/ft), and a nominal
impedance of 110Ω. High quality digital audio cable offers better signal
transmission performance versus typical analog audio cable, especially
over long cable runs. Check the cable manufactures data sheet to be sure
the cable you plan to use will work in your application.
CONNECTORS - Typically, all AES/EBU connections are made with
the supplied DB-25 male mating connectors. These crimp style connectors
will accept wire gauge 22 - 28AWG.
Unbalanced Analog Connections
ANALOG INPUTS — Wire to the switcher input end with typical
shielded, two conductor cable (like Belden 9451), just as if you were
connecting a balanced source. At the unbalanced source machine’s output,
connect the + output to the HI input wire and connect the source machine
GND wire to LO, connect the shield at the balanced end only .
Note: Unbalanced analog sources typically have -10dBv (316mV RMS)
signal levels and will not match the ADR-32 nominal operating level of
+4dBu (1.23V RMS). We highly recommended that you first externally
balance any unbalanced sources you plan on connecting to the ADR-32.
Many third party “match boxes” are commercially available for this.
ANALOG OUTPUTS — Use an electronically balanced output circuit
which behaves exactly like the secondary of a high-quality transformer,
with no center tap—this output is both balanced and floating. For unbalanced operation, either the HI or LO side of the analog output must be
strapped to ground of the unbalanced input, with the output taken from the
other side. (Normally you would strap LO to ground, and use HI to feed
your unbalanced equipment input.) Leave the SH floating at the balanced
end.
Unbalanced Digital Connections (SPDIF)
SPDIF INPUTS - The SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) or
“consumer” digital audio interface is a two wire unbalanced signal
typically on a single RCA style connector. We highly recommend using
a “balun” or format converter when interfacing “consumer” grade source
devices to the ADR-32.
In cases where a consumer grade device must be interfaced and the
appropriate matching device is not available, try wiring the SPDIF center
conductor (HOT) to the HI input pin and SPDIF shell (ground) to the LO
input. Connect SH at the ADR-32 router end only. To correctly match the
SPDIF signal level of approximately 500mV and 75 ohm impedance to the
ADR-32 AES inputs, be sure to set the appropriate internal 75Ω termina-
tion dipswitch on the digital input card.
SPDIF OUTPUTS - The ADR-32 digital outputs are fixed, professional, AES-3 formatted outputs. SPDIF consumer format is not supported. Use an external format converter to connect the digital outputs to
consumer gear.

Overview
The ADR-32 may be configured for a variety of I/O card complements
using various combinations of analog and digital audio input and output
cards. All audio input and output signal connections are made via multipin
DB-25 connectors located on the cage rear and mounted on the input/output
daughter cards. The input/output daughter cards plug into the PR-32 board
connectors (CT20-CT35). The AUX DC power supply, monitor, serial
control, and ethernet connections are also made on the rear of cage.

HARDWARE
Configuration Guidelines
While the ADR-32 router is pre-configured to customer specifications
at Wheatstone’s factory, future expansion of a system may require some
re-configuration of existing hardware to accommodate new resources.
Audio input cards may be mounted in slots 1 through 8 (counting right
to left if you are looking from cage rear), and output cards may be mounted
in slots 9 through 16. Digital input and output cards each handle eight
inputs/outputs, while analog input and output cards each handle four
inputs/outputs. The ADR-32 can support up to four digital input cards and
four digital output cards, or up to eight analog input cards and eight analog
output cards. Digital and analog cards can be freely mixed, subject to
correct placement, as described below. However, the card complement
can not exceed 32 inputs or 32 outputs.
Audio I/O Expansion
The ADR-32 supports a maximum of 32 stereo input channels and 32
stereo output channels.
•Power down by removing AC cord.
• Removing the cover - Remove the 14 - #4/32
1/4” Phillips head screws located along the sides
and top of the ADR-32 chassis.
• Locating an available slot - Find the next
available input or output slot 40 pin header on the
motherboard. Be careful to note the silkscreen
labelling along side each connector. Some headers
will only work with analog I/O cards, other headers work with both analog and digital I/O cards. In
placing cards, it may be helpful to think in terms of
slot pairs. That is, the input section contains eight

slots, or four slot pairs, and the same is true of the
output section. For the first output pair, the following table shows the allowed card combinations for
that pair. The same concept applies to the other output slot pairs, and to
the input slot pairs.

• Installing the audio card - Care must be taken when plugging in the
expansion cards 40 pin ribbon connector. Be sure to match the connector
sockets to the motherboard header pins. Failure to do so will damage the
expansion card, ribbon cable, and/or motherboard.
!
• Configuring the software - The ADR-32 software has been pre-configured
to automatically recognize a newly installed audio I/O card. You may run the
X-Point application to edit the pre-configured I/O names to match your new
sources or destinations. Please see the “X-Point Software Setup Guide” for
details.

Digital Input Card (SRC-8)
The SRC-8 digital audio input cards for the ADR-32 accept up to 8
AES-3 formatted stereo sources (i.e. 16 mono channels). A Signal Defini-tions form in the supplied X-Point software allows the user to set attributes
for the input channels including signal name, type, circuit #, etc. These signal
attributes are pre-configured at the factory for stereo operation.
Note: While it is possible to split the 8 stereo AES inputs into 16 mono
channels, there are still only 8 physical wires, each containing the 2-channel
AES formatted data.
A dedicated sample rate converter for each input re-clocks the incoming
audio data and phase locks it to the system’s master sample rate clock. Source
sample rates from 16 kHz to 96 kHz are supported.
AES Input Interface
The balanced digital audio inputs on the SRC-8 card are transformer
coupled. AES receivers strip off the received sample rate clock and audio data
for further processing by sample rate converters. The balanced interface
operates at a nominal peak-to-peak input voltage of +5V with an input
impedance of 110Ω and conforms to the AES-3 1992 electrical specification.
Note that Channel Status data is not forwarded.
While unbalanced SPDIF formatted input signals may be connected to the
HI and LO inputs of an AES input channel (leave the shield floating), it is
recommended that a BALUN or other external matching device be inserted
to convert the SPDIF impedance to 110Ω and signal level to at least 1V p-p.

Analog Input Card (ADC-4)
Overview
The Analog input card accepts up to 4 stereo analog audio sources (i.e.
8 mono channels). A Signal Definitions form in the supplied X-Point
software allows the user to set attributes for the input channel hardware,
including signal name, type, circuit #, etc. The 8 input channels may be
configured as mono signals (one channel), stereo signals (two channels),
or 5.1 surround sound signals (six channels) in any combination. Signals
may span across input cards (e.g. a surround sound signal may have 4
channels on one input card, and 2 channels on a different input card).
The balanced, line level analog input signals are buffered and converted to the digital domain by 24bit A-D converters operating at the
system’s master sample rate. Embedded logic routes each channel of
audio data into an available time slot of the input card’s TDM bus. One
TDM bus is allocated for each input card.
Analog Input Interface
The balanced analog input stages are direct coupled, unity gain circuits
and operate at a nominal input level of +4dBu. The input impedance is
20kΩ. A +4dBu input signal will result in a -20dBFS digital output level
at any of the selected AES outputs. The maximum analog input signal
level is +24 dBu providing 20 dB of headroom above the nominal input
level.
Reference Notes:
0dBu = .7746 V RMS, +4dBu = 1.23V RMS
dBFS = dB Full Scale Digital
-20dBFS = +4dBu

Digital Output Card (DO-8)
Overview
Each Digital Output card provides 8 physical AES-3 formatted outputs.
A Signal Definitions form in the supplied X-Point software allows the user
to set attributes for the output channels, including signal name, type, circuit
#, etc. The 8 AES outputs are configured in software at the factory to be stereo
output signals.
Each output card listens for connection commands from the CPU, and
then uses this information to connect the appropriate sources to their selected
output channels. The selected audio data is fed to AES transmitters which
format the 24 bit audio data according to the AES-3 standard.
Note: While it is possible to split the 8 stereo AES outputs into 16 mono
channels, there are still only 8 physical wires, each containing the 2-channel
AES formatted data.
AES Output Interface
The balanced digital audio outputs on the DO-8 card are transformer
coupled and exhibit a nominal output impedance of 110Ω. This interface
operates at a nominal output voltage of +5V p-p and conforms to the AES3 1992 electrical specification. The DO-8 output cards operate at unity gain
and transmit 24bit audio data word lengths at the system sample rate. Output
sample rate is set to 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz by setting the dipswitch located on
the PR-32 motherboard. Optionally, the CPU’s External AES Sync input
may be used to slave the system to a user provided 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz
reference rate. Please refer to the CPU hardware section for details on
external synchronization.
The digital output signal reference level is -20dBFS. A +4dBu analog
input signal yields a -20dBFS digital output signal. Channel Status implementation complies with rules for “Standard implementation” as described
in the AES-3 1992 specification.

much like a transformer in that either side of the balanced output may be
grounded. The analog outputs are direct coupled with an output impedance
of 50Ω and a nominal output signal level of +4dBu for an analog input signal
of +4dBu (-20dBFs digital) .
Internal Programming Options
There are no internal programming options on the AO-4 card.

Mono Outputs
There are two ways to adapt the ADR-32 for mono operation.
Externally sum a stereo output using 1kΩ resistors, or reconfigure the
output in software for mono operation. Please see the “X-Point Software
Setup Guide” for details on configuring mono outputs.
Caution! If you route a stereo input to a software configured mono
output, only one output channel will be present.

CPU
Overview
The CPU used in the ADR-32 incorporates a PC/104 computer mounted
on the PR-32 PCB. The host computer utilizes RAM, a flash disk (which
emulates a standard IDE hard drive) and an Ethernet port. There is no hard
disk drive. Keyboard, floppy controller and video ports are for factory use
only.
The purpose of the CPU is to provide control of the ADR-32 system. The
CPU communicates to the X-Point Configuration PC and XY Controller
GUI’s via TCP/IP over Ethernet, via a backplane command bus to the other
cards, and via RS-485 serial links to existing XY Controllers and Wheatstone
consoles. The CPU also phase locks the ADR-32 to an onboard crystal
oscillator or an external AES “black” reference source.
Hardware and software configuration as well as real time crosspoint
information is saved in non-volatile storage on the CPU and is restored at
power up or reset. This configuration information provides details to the
application running on the CPU such as the specific audio hardware available, serial port allocation, I/O signal names, etc., and may be modified via
the Configuration GUI. Switching information is dynamically controlled via
both hardware based XY Controllers and PC based XY GUI’s. Network IP
address configuration of the CPU is handled by the provided DOS utility
application. System configuration is discussed in detail in the following
sections.
CPU BIOS Settings/Format
BIOS Setup and formatting of the ADR-32's CPU is completed prior to
the testing of your ADR-32 Router at the Wheatstone factory. There are no
user adjustable settings. Please contact customer support with questions
regarding the PC/104 SBC BIOS settings or flash disk formatting.
Ethernet IP Addressing
Wheatstone ADR-32 digital audio routers ship with the CPU IP address
set for 192.168.1.160. Peer to peer connections between a PC and the
ADR-32 only require you to set the PC IP address to live on the same subnet
as the ADR-32.
Before the switch will be recognized on your network, you will most
likely need to re-configure the ADR-32's CPU and X-Point PC’s IP addresses. To change the ADR-32's CPU IP address, a network utility application, supplied on the X-Point CD-ROM, must be run. See the IP Address
Quick Start section of the “X-Point Software Setup Guide” for detailed
information.

Ethernet Interface Wiring
Stand-alone systems are defined as the ADR-32 connected to an X-Point
configuration PC and not interfaced to a station’s existing network. Standalone systems are “point to point” configurations and are connected by a
CAT-5 crossover cable.
Networked systems are defined as the ADR-32 connected directly to an
existing Ethernet network hub. Networked systems are connected to the
network hub via a straight (pin to pin) CAT-5 cable. Typical CAT-5 cable
pinouts are included in the “Hook-Ups” section near the end of this chapter.
Internal Programming Options
All internal programming options are made via PCB mounted dipswitches
and jumpers as shown in the table below:

serial communications software.
Example: Desired ID=17, shunt J6 and J10.
If there is more than one XY Controller connected to the ADR-32 router,
each XY Controller MUST have a unique ID#. The default XY Controller ID

XP Configuration GUI ................................................................ 3-2
The ADR-32 audio router has provisions for two levels of software
control and also two dedicated hardware controllers.
Software configuration and control of the system is handled by the
X-Point Configuration GUI described below. The X-Point Configuration
GUI may also be installed on multiple networked PC’s in a “controller only
mode”. This XY Controller GUI eliminates the need for new wiring and
hardware in certain locations and provides multi-user access to “mapped”
system resources.
Two dedicated hardware controllers are also available. The single space
XY Rack controller provides a simple user interface and may be rack
mounted in a studio, talent location, edit booth, etc. A smaller console
mounted version of this controller is designed for installation in Wheatstone
consoles.
XP Configuration GUI
The supplied Windows™ application, X-Point, is a password protected
graphical user interface (GUI) which allows the user to configure, monitor
and control the ADR-32 digital audio router. The XP GUI communicates
using TCP/IP over Ethernet to the CPU. Once the system is configured the
XP program does not have to be continuously running.
The primary function of the X-Point GUI, running in administration
mode, is to provide the engineer or administrator with a means to define the
configuration of the hardware installed in the system. Configuration menus
allow the engineer access to hardware definitions for audio I/O cards, XY
rack controllers, serial port use, I/O signal names, etc. The administrator also
Please see the “X-Point
Software Setup Guide”
(Chapter 4) for detailed
software information.

has control over programmable features such as Salvo creation, crosspoint
locking, and mapping signal visibility to XY controllers. Further, certain
levels of system diagnostics may be accessed.
The XP GUI also provides a birds eye view of the current connection
status of the entire network router via a crosspoint grid display of the available
sources (inputs) and destinations (outputs). This GUI is also used to associate
human readable names with each of the signal sources and destinations.
XY Controller GUI
The X-Point application running in XY Controller mode is also known as
a “Crosspoint GUI”. Like the Configuration GUI, this device communicates
to the ADR-32 over Ethernet. However, it uses a UDP broadcast interface,
which allows multiple XYC GUI’s to communicate to the switch simultaneously. The number of XYC GUI’s that can run simultaneously is only
limited by the LAN configuration (theoretically millions could exist on the
same LAN, but 250 is a more practical limit).
Its main purpose is to provide an alternative, software based method of
controlling the ADR-32 utilizing a station’s existing network infrastructure.
Multiple, simultaneous users may connect signal sources to destinations and
monitor the status of audio resources throughout a facility. A signal visibility
feature allows users to only “see” the resources on the router that pertain to
their activities.
XY Rack Controller
The XY Rack Controller is a single rack unit device that can control the
connection of two signals. The operator dials in a Source (input signal) and
a Destination (output signal), then presses a TAKE button to connect or
disconnect (disconnect is accomplished by connecting to the source name that
designated a no connect for your system, such as “NO CONN”). Once
communications have been established the CPU or OAN card then directs the
selected devices to connect or disconnect
(if possible), and updates the crosspoint
state presented to the Configuration GUI,
XYC GUI, and other hardware XY Controllers.
Additionally, the operator may dial in
a SALVO, which automatically makes a
pre-configured number of connections.
A SALVO is somewhat analogous to a
“macro” in that several crosspoints are automatically effected from a single
user action.
This device communicates serially with the CPU via an RS-485 interface
bus. Up to 32 hardware based XY controllers may be daisy chained together
within a single cable run. Up to 32 hardware based XY controllers may be
installed in a system. On power up, the unit momentarily displays both the
firmware revision number and its address.

Console XY Controller
Identical in function to the XY
Rack Controller, the console XY
controller is packaged to mount in a
console meterbridge or, as a module, in the console mainframe. This
provides an integrated way of switching router sources to destinations
connected to the console. It is important to note that when mounted in
a console, the XY controller is really
an independent sub-system which
receives only power from the
console’s mainframe. The console
mounted “XYC” RS-485 DB-9’s (for meterbridge mounted controller and
D-70 XY module) or DB-25’s (for XY-4/8 and ALM-12d, D-16 XY
modules) connect to the XY controller electronics only.

Setting an XY Controller Termination
Termination should be active only on the last controller in a chain.
XY Rack - install jumpers J1 and J2 on the XYR-1 pc board.
XY Meterbridge Mounted - install jumpers J2 and J3 on the XYC-600 pc

XY-4/8 Module - turn on positions 2, 3, and 4 of dipswitch SW3 (pos1 not used) located on the XYC-700 pc board.
XYC Panel (D-70, ALM-12d, D-16 consoles) - install jumpers J3 and J4
on the XYC-70 pc board.
Setting an XY Controller Address
All hardware XY controllers have a unique address from 1 to 63 that
identifies their presence to the system. This address is set via a pair of four
position dipswitches mounted on the controller’s printed circuit card. XY
controller addresses are binary coded with each dipswitch carrying a specific
numerical weight ( e.g. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32). To set an address, simply turn ON
the address dip switches until the total weights add up to the desired decimal
address. You can verify the address setting by powering up the XY controller
and watching for the address number in the controller’s displays. Addressing
is set at the factory and generally will not need to be changed in the field.
Below are the tables of switch positions and their weights.

XY Controller Signal Visibility
Once addressed, the XY controllers have the ability to “see” any or all of
the sources, destinations and Salvos available to the system. This function is
called signal visibility and is setup through the X-Point Configuration GUI.
Please refer to the X-Point software documentation for details on mapping
resources to specific XY Controllers.
XY Controller RS-485 Connections
Overview
The XY Rack and console mount controllers communicate with the
ADR-32 router via an RS-485 serial interface bus. The cable should be a low
capacitance computer communications cable.
Depending on the type of XY Controller, there are two type of cables:
• for XY Rack Controller, meterbridge mounted XY Controller and
XYC-70 Panel cables, terminated with DB-9 male connectors on both ends;
• for XY-4/8 console mounted module the ADR-32’s end of the cable is
terminated with a DB-9 male connector, and the console’s end of the cable is
terminated with a DB-25 male connector.
Typically, one end of the cable plugs into the XYC Serial Port DB-9
female connector on the cage rear, and the second end connects to either one
of the two DB-9 female I/O connectors on the rear of the XY Rack Controller
or bottom of the console meterbridge (for console mounted XY controllers),
or DB-25 female I/O connectors, mounted directly beneath XY-4/8 module
on the console mainframe’s bottom pan.
If there is more than one XY Controller, another cable goes between the
second I/O DB-9 connector on XY Controller #1 and the first DB-9 I/O
connector on the XY Controller #2, and so on (see diagram below). Up to 32
XY Rack or XY Console controllers may be daisy chained in this fashion on
a single cable run. Up to 32 XY controllers may be present in a system. Since
the ADR-32 contains its own XY Controller, only 31 additional XY Controllers can be connected to it.

ADR-32 REAR
XY CONTROLLER REAR
Connections Diagram
Serial Port Note
All XY controllers MUST be connected to the XYC I/O serial port. All
Wheatstone consoles MUST be connected to the CONSOLE I/O serial port.
Cable Wiring
It is important to use a high quality dual twisted pair cable suitable for
extended distance data transmission for the XY Controller RS-485 ports. A
cable with an impedance of 125 ohms and nominal capacitance of 12.8 pF/ft
@1 MHz is recommended. See cable specifications and pinouts for details.
The ADR-32 has a powerful level of integration designed into the system
which allows the user to map specific Wheatstone console input channel
alpha-numeric displays to router destinations. The X-Point Configuration
GUI is used to configure the available console input channels and to map
switcher destinations to their input displays. Please refer to the System
Configuration section in the “X-Point Software Setup Guide” chapter of this
manual for details.
Once the ADR-32 outputs have been “mapped” to console inputs, the
console’s input channel displays will show the name of the router source
currently connected to it. Whenever the channel strip’s input source is
changed, either locally or remotely, its display will update with the new source
name. A/B input source mapping is supported. Further, when a “mapped”
input channel on a console is turned ON and assigned to the PGM output bus,
all XY GUI’s and hardware controllers are updated to show that the channel
input (i.e. router destination) is LOCKED. This ensures that a “live” source
is not accidentally knocked off air or a recording interrupted. Wheatstone
consoles also have the unique ability to recall router sources when a console
preset is taken.
Wheatstone console CPU modules connect to the ADR-32 software via
a dedicated RS-485 serial interface bus. Note that this bus is separate from, and
in addition to, the XY controller bus.
Wheatstone Console RS-485 Connections
Cables that are used for connecting the ADR-32 Router RS-485 serial port
to a Wheatstone console serial port are very similar to XY Controller RS-485
cables. The only difference is the connector type and pinout required for the
console end of the cable. Use the same type of low capacitance computer
communications cable recommended for the XY controllers.
Connect the DB-9 end of the cable to the serial “CONSOLE I/O” Port
DB-9 connector on the cage rear. Connect the DB-25 male end to the console’s
CPU module. Locate the female LDB-25 connector (Lower DB-25 ) mounted
directly beneath the CPU module on the console mainframe’s bottom panel.
It will be labelled with the physical mainframe slot number. The console’s
CPU module is usually installed in slot 30 or 31. Note that there is no LDB
connector for slot 32 (or 24 in 24 position mainframes).
If there is more than one Wheatstone console, parallel the connections at
the first console end of the cable and daisy chain the remaining consoles in a
similar fashion. Be sure to terminate only the last console in the chain.

Console CPU Module Settings
Certain dipswitch settings must be made on the connected Wheatstone
consoles in order for them to be recognized by the ADR-32 system software.
These settings are the console address, serial port mode, and RS-485 termination.
Console Address
Each Wheatstone console connected to the system must have a unique
numerical address (e.g. 1, 2, 3, etc.). The console address is set via a bank of
four position dipswitches located on the CPU module. Refer to your console
documentation for details, or contact customer support.
RS-485 Select / Termination
The CPU module also has a pair of four-position dipswitches that select the
serial port mode and RS-485 termination. Locate the RS-485/RS-232 Select
dipswitch and set it OFF for RS-485. If this is the last console in the chain,
locate the RS-485 Termination dipswitch and switch the COM1 positions ON.
Otherwise leave RS-485 Termination for COM1 OFF.

X-POINT SOFTWARE SETUP GUIDE
ADR-32 Ethernet / IP Address
Quick Start
Ethernet Cabling
• Use a CAT 5 crossover ethernet cable to connect a PC directly to the
ADR-32.
• Use a standard CAT5 ethernet cable to connect the ADR-32 to your
network hub.
Default IP Address
The ADR-32 router IP Address is set to 192.168.1.160 at the factory. In
order to connect using the X-Point software, the PC must have a matching
network prefix (i.e 192.168.1.xxx). If your PC's current IP address does not
match you must choose one of the following options:
• change the IP address of the PC running the XPoint software.
or
• change the IP address of the ADR-32 router.
Changing your PC's IP Address
To set your PC's IP address you must access the TCP/IP Properties form for
the network adapter. The exact procedure depends on the specific version of
Windows™ you are running. Generally speaking:
• Navigate to the Settings • Control Panel • Network configuration form.
• Highlight the TCP/IP line item for your PC's ethernet adapter.
• Click the "Properties" button (the TCP/IP Properties form should open).
• Click "Specify an IP Address" (DHCP not supported).
• Enter an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.2 to
192.168.1.254 (excluding .160).
• Enter a Subnet Mask value of 255.255.255.0
When in doubt, check with your Windows ™ documentation or network
administrator for specific details on altering the network adapter's TCP/IP
properties.
Changing the ADR-32's IP Address
To change the ADR-32's IP address, refer to the Network Configuration
Appendix in this manual. You will need the X-Point CD-ROM and a direct
Ethernet connection between a PC and the router using a CAT5 crossover
cable. Once connected proceed as follows:
• Locate and run the network configuration utility program on X-Point
CD-ROM.
ADR-32 / Dec 2002
page 4 – 2
Page 52
X-POINT SOFTWARE SETUP GUIDE
The filename is AdvXP_Network_Config.exe located in the Network 2.0
folder.
• Carefully follow the instructions in the Network Configuration
Appendix 1.
• Re-boot the ADR-32 (Power down for 10 seconds, power up).
Configuring IP Address in X-Point Software
Next, start the X-Point application, log on as administrator
(password=Admin), and navigate to the Configure•System menu item. The
following form will appear.
Important Note!
This form tells the X-Point software where the ADR-32's CPU
is located on the network.Run
the Network_Config utility to
modify the actual network settings of the ADR-32's CPU.
Important:
• If you changed your PC's IP Address, enter the parameters exactly as
displayed above.
• If you changed the ADR-32's IP Address, enter the parameters you
entered using the Network Configuration Utility program.
If you are connected to the router, you should see a "Connecting to..."
message in the status bar at the bottom of the screen.
Saving the ADR-32 Configuration
Once you connect for the first time be sure to save the configuration.
Choose the File• Save main menu option from the toolbar. When you make
subsequent changes (e.g. rename Sources or Destinations, add controllers,
etc.) be sure to save them.

X-POINT SOFTWARE SETUP GUIDE
X-Point Software Setup Guide
Getting Started
All ADR-32 Digital Audio Router hardware is pre-configured at the
factory. This approach greatly speeds the installation process getting you
“online” faster. You may not need to make any software configuration
changes.
After installation and cabling of all required hardware, the system administrator may use the X-Point software to customize the remainder of the
configuration. To install X-Point software be sure that the PC you wish to use
is Windows compliant, has a CD-ROM drive, has at least 50 MB of hard disk
storage available, and has an available ethernet connection. Install the software
on the PC by loading the X-Point CD into the drive tray and then running the
install wizard on the CD by double-clicking on “Setup.exe”.
The following sections will guide the user through all phases of the software
configuration. The main items that may require attention are: any signal
definition changes, source and destination signal naming, XY controller
mapping, and optional Wheatstone console input channel mapping.
Ethernet - The default IP Address of the ADR-32 is 192.168.1.160. Please
see the Ethernet Quick Start preceding this section for details on changing the
ADR-32’s IP Address.
GUI Log-In
Once the X-Point software has been installed and started, a “Log In” dialog
box will be displayed on the screen. There are three possible password
protected log in identities that a user may log in as:
Guest - Allows the user to view screenshot of X-Point only. No switching
of I/O signals.
XYC GUI - Allows the logged in user to select
crosspoints only. Signal visibility must be setup by
Administrator prior to logging in as an XYC GUI.
See the “XY Controller GUI Configuration ” later in
this section for details.
Administrator - allows logged in user complete access to hardware configuration, signal naming, I/O
crosspoint switching, and destination locking.
Passwords
The default passwords are “Xyc” for XYC GUI and “Admin” for Administrator.
Once logged in as Administrator the GUI attempts to connect to the switch
and uploads the current configuration and crosspoint status onto the PC. This
may take 30 seconds or more. Check the lower left hand corner of the screen
for connection status.

X-POINT SOFTWARE SETUP GUIDE
Tier Configuration
See Quick Start on page 4-2 for details on the System Configuration
form below.
Prior to connecting, the X-Point GUI must be setup with some information regarding the ADR-32's network parameters. A user logged in as
“Administrator” has access to these configuration menus.
Important Note!
This form tells the X-Point software where the ADR-32's CPU
is located on the network.Run
the Network_Config utility to
modify the actual network settings of the ADR-32's CPU - see
Quick Start (p.4-2).
Select 1 for the Number of Tiers in the system. Provide a Tier Name,
the ADR-32’s IP Address, Switch Port, and Broadcast Port used. The
Number of Tiers, IP Address, Switch Port, and Broadcast Port values must
match the current settings of the ADR-32's CPU in order to connect.
The Switch Port will normally be related to the tier using the formula
50NN2, where NN is the two digit tier ID (i.e. 01 for tier 1...15 for tier 15).
After clicking the Apply button the GUI software will be in the “CONNECTING” state, as discussed in the next section. This completes the Tier
Configuration process.
Note:
Number of Tiers is always 1 for an ADR-32.

Connection Between the Configuration GUI
and ADR-32
Depending on the state of the system when the current default configuration
files were saved, the Configuration GUI may start in the OFFLINE or
ONLINE mode. While off-line, the GUI does not communicate to the ADR32’s CPU. This is useful to work through initial hardware and signal definitions, which may be downloaded later.
Assuming the default configuration files start the Configuration GUI in
ONLINE mode, a TCP connection to the ADR-32's CPU will be attempted, as
indicated via the status message and yellow status indicator shown below.
Yellow

yellow status indicator turns green and the status message changes from
CONNECTING to something similar to the following (varies with tier name
and IP/address): “Uploading Config From 192.168.1.160 [Tier 1]”.

Signal Definition
Up to 64 separate source and destination signals may be defined via the
Configuration GUI. To add or edit a signal from the GUI’s main grid, right
click on one of the Source or Destination signals and select “Modify Signal
Definition”. The following form will appear:
Note:
Logic I/O not available
on an ADR-32.
! Card# Value
See example below
before entering Card#
value.
Each signal is automatically assigned a unique Signal ID number. For each
Signal ID number the following parameters can be configured:
• Signal Name: Enter the 8 character name to be displayed on XY controllers
and the X-Point GUI.
• Location: Enter an optional 8 character description of the signal’s location.
• Audio Signal Type: Choose Source or Destination.
• Format: Choose Mono, Stereo, or 5.1 Surround.
*Note that the ADR-32 does NOT sum stereo input signals to mono
outputs.
• Audio Signal Location Tab: Defines the signal’s physical location.
• Tier ID & Rack ID will always be 1 for ADR-32 systems
• Card # - valid input slots are 1,2,3 or 4, valid output slots are 5,6,7,8*
• Circuit # - valid choices are 1
*see example below in the Important Signal Definition Notes section
-16, odd#’s are left, even#’s are right*
When defining the Audio Signal Location, remember that X-Point cir-cuits are equivalent to a single audio channel. Every analog audio card has
four stereo channels (4x2 channels = 8 circuits). Digital cards have 8 stereo
channels, or 16 circuits.

X-POINT SOFTWARE SETUP GUIDE
Important Signal Definition Notes
Audio Format: The ADR-32 ships pre-configured as a 32x32 stereo router.
If you plan on configuring MONO signals please note the following. A MONO
input will route to any MONO output or to both channels of a stereo output. A
STEREO input will route only the left or right channel to a mono output. The
exact channel depends on which circuit # was used for the MONO output, odd
circuits = left, even circuits = right. The alternative to this method is to leave the
ADR-32 configured as stereo and bridge mono sources across both the left/right
inputs. Mono outputs may be derived using external summing resistors, see
note in the analog output hardware section.
Card Type : All slots will report “Analog Input” or Analog Output” for the
Card Type, even if you have digital i/o cards installed. This is normal.
Card # : The Card # value is based on 4 virtual input slots and 4 virtual output
slots. This provides a maximum of 32 stereo inputs (4 virtual slots X 8 stereo
channels) and 32 stereo outputs. When entering the Card# note that 2 physical
analog input or output cards are considered to be a single Card #. This is because
there are only 4 stereo inputs or outputs on an analog card versus 8 stereo inputs
or outputs on a digital card.
Card # and Circuits Example:
You have installed analog input cards in physical slots #1, 2 and 3 and a
digital input card in physical slot #5.
Analog stereo inputs 1-4 are in physical slot#1; Card# = 1, Circuits =1-8
Analog stereo inputs 5-8 are in physical slot #2; Card # = 1, Circuits = 9-16
Analog stereo inputs 9-12 are in physical slot #3; Card # = 2, Circuits = 1-8
Digital stereo inputs 17-24 are in physical slot #5; Card# = 3, Circuits =1-16
Note that in the example above, there is a gap in between the analog input
card installed in physical slot #3 and the digital input card installed in physical
slot #5. The gap is physical slot #4 which may be loaded only with an analog
input card in the future. Values for this future card would be:
Analog stereo inputs 13-16 are in physical slot #4; Card # = 2, Circuits = 9-16
The rear panel of the ADR-32 clearly labels which card types may be
installed in a particular slot. When configuring the ADR-32 it is important to
remember that the ADR-32 is limited to a maximum of 4 virtual input cards and
4 virtual output cards. A fully loaded all digital box would have 4 physical input
cards and 4 physical output cards. A fully loaded all analog box would have 8
physical input cards and 8 physical output cards.

Salvo Definition
Macro control of the ADR-32 router is accomplished by creating and
firing Salvos. A Salvo is simply a group of cross connects, disconnects and
“do nothings” that occur when the selected Salvo is fired. Each Salvo has a
unique name and can be programmed to be visible to any hardware XY
controller or XYC GUI.
To define a Salvo, use the Configuration GUI and enter Salvo Edit Mode
by selecting the View / Mode / Edit Salvos Edit menu. The operator may then
choose to modify the grid connections in an existing Salvo, or use the Salvo
toolbar icons to rename an existing Salvo or to create a new one. By making
and breaking connections on the crosspoint grid, the operator builds up a
Salvo definition. The order in which Salvo actions are created determines
the “playback” order.
When completed, the operator leaves Salvo Edit Mode, at which point the
newly defined Salvos are available for use. If the application is connected to
a switch (ON-LINE mode) the new Salvo definitions are automatically sent
to the switch. It is a good idea to save the newly created Salvos on the PC by
choosing File / Save... from the main menu.
Note that clicking on the Delete Salvo icon in the Salvo Toolbar will
initially delete all the connections defined in a Salvo; a subsequent click on
this button will delete the Salvo from the Salvo list. This is a useful way to
clear out an existing Salvo and then redefine the connections within that
Salvo. To cancel changes made to a Salvo select View / Mode / Cancel SalvoEdits from the main menu.
An example of Salvo Edit mode is shown below:

Controller Configuration
To configure a hardware based XY Controller, the
operator must first log-in to the GUI as an Administrator. Next, select the Configure / Controller Configura-tion menu option, which will display the form at the
right.
For each XY Controller in the system, provide a
name and an unique RS-485 address between 1 and 63.
Note that the XY controller addresses were pre-configured in hardware at the factory and their unique
address is momentarily displayed on power up. See the
“Hardware” chapter for addressing details if necessary.
Also decide whether each controller will have access to the entire I/O signal space, View All, or just a
subset, View Subset. If a subset is
selected, the following form will
be displayed.
The next step is to set the
Input, Output, and Salvo visibility options by choosing Input,
Output, or Salvo. Next highlight
the desired signal(s) or salvo(s)
in the left column, then click on
the single right arrow box (>)
found between the columns. In
order to make all signals or salvos visible click the double right
arrow (>>) box found between
the columns. The left arrow buttons are to remove signal(s) or

Console Configuration
To map crosspoint output signals to console input channels the operator must
first log in to the GUI as an Administrator. Then select the Configure / Console
Interface menu option, which will display the
following form.
Each module in a console is identified via the
“Console Id” and “Slot Number” spin edit boxes.
The user can select from any of the available router
output signals and assign a signal to Source A and
another signal to Source B of a console’s input
module. The input signal (if any) that is currently
connected to the selected output signal is displayed in the “In Sig Name” text box. This is the
name that will appear on the module’s LED display once the map has been sent to the switch
software. As the module’s Source button is toggled
between source A and source B, the LED names
displayed on the module will toggle with it.
The Active Consoles menu item brings up a
dialog box to set the range of console addresses the
router will communicate with. Choices are First,
Last and Default console ID’s. The active console
range should be set to the smallest number of
consoles to avoid unnecessary system communication latency.
Special Functions - Console Locks
If a crosspoint output signal is mapped to a console module and that module
is “ON AIR”, that crosspoint output signal becomes console-locked, as indicated
by a blue line through the signal on the GUI display. When a signal is consolelocked its connection to a crosspoint input cannot be changed. To change this
connection, take the module “OFF AIR” then choose a different source.
Whenever a signal is removed from the console map, any “ON-AIR” locks
are automatically removed. This prevents a console-lock from being “stuck on”
with no way to remove it.
Console Presets
If a console has the ability to save a Preset, the switch software will save the
current connection information for all output signals that are currently mapped
to that console. The next time that console activates that preset the connections
that existed at the time the preset was saved are restored. However, if a module
is ON-AIR when the Preset is taken, that connection will not be made. This
ensures that activating a preset will not disturb any ON-AIR signals.
If the user changes the crosspoint-output-signal-to-console mapping, the
Presets for that console may be invalidated. The user should go through and resave the presets on that console after changing the console map!

updated and stored in the ADR-32 memory.
Caution! Because you must be ONLINE to send a configuration to the
ADR-32, be sure to disable or temporarily halt the use of external XY
controllers. If an XY controller is switched while sending a configuration, the
ADR-32 memory may be partially loaded or corrupted, thus requiring a
complete re-configuration. You may disable external XY controllers by
simply removing the RS-485 DB-9 connector on the rear of the ADR-32.

The terminology used in this manual is defined as follows:
• Channel - A single,
to 64 discrete inputs to 64 discrete outputs (32 x 32 stereo) per tier.
• Signal - Information from a single audio source. A signal may take up one
(mono), two (stereo), or six (5.1 surround sound) channels.
• Chassis or Rack - A single ADR-32 backplane.
• GUI(pronounced “goo-eee”) - refers to the Windows X-Point program
Graphical User Interface.
• XYC GUI - refers to the X-Point program running in XY controller mode.
• Slot - A position within a rack where a single card is located.
• Tier - The ADR-32 is based on advanced X-Point software that supports
multiple hardware levels called Tiers. While the software supports
multiple tiers, the ADR-32 hardware only supports one tier.
• Salvo - A logical grouping of connections that may be made by the
operator via a single action (on the Configuration GUI, XYC GUI, or XY
Controller).
monaural audio stream. The ADR-32 can switch up
The following terms apply to router configuration:
• Switch ID - A unique identifier assigned to each ADR-32 router.
• Rack ID - The physical chassis ID number.
• Slot ID - The physical slot number (numbered from 1-16).
• Channel ID - Channel IDs run from 0-64. Input Channel IDs are assigned
directly to the input devices. Output Channel IDs are assigned directly to
the output devices.
• Signal Type - Each input and output in the ADR-32 is associated with a
type of signal. These include mono, stereo, or surround sound. The
importance of this information at configuration time is the number of
channels each signal consumes. Mono signals use 1 channel; stereo
signals use 2; and surround sound signal use 6.

Configuring the ADR-32
Router Network Parameters
Caution! Your system has been preconfigured at the factory for a default
IP address of192.168.1.160. Incorrect use of this utility program can cause
system malfunction. Check the IP address label on the top cover of the ADR32 before making changes. Please consult Wheatstone support if you are
having trouble connecting your system to a network or PC.
In order to communicate to the ADR-32 Router, appropriate network
parameters must be loaded. Since the GUI cannot communicate with the
router until these parameters are set, a special method for configuring the
router is necessary.
There are several constraints on the router configuration that were made
to simplify the installation, while still providing the flexibility to connect the
router to existing customer networks. Here are the list of constraints:
1. The router and any attached GUIs must exist on the same subnet. The
router has no ability to route across subnets.
2. If dynamic address allocation is used on the network (e.g. DHCP), the
router must be given a “permanent” address allocation. In order to allow the
router to run on simple networks or at sites with little system admin support,
dynamic address allocation schemes (such as DHCP or BOOTP) were not
used to provide an IP address to the router.
The following steps are required to provide the necessary configuration
info to the router (this only has to be done one time):
1. From any DOS or Windows PC on the same subnet that the router will
be on (in other words, with no routers between the PC and ADR-32), run the
AdvXP_Network_Config.exe program.
2. The first prompt is: *Default Values
Enter Number of Tiers [1].................: 1
Enter “1” for the total number of tiers in the system (ADR-32 is always 1 Tier).
3. Enter Tier #1 address [192.168.0.160].....: 192.168.1.160
Enter the IP address reserved for the router on your network. This address must
be unique within the network.
4. Enter Tier #1 TCP Port [50012]............: 50012
This is the TCP port number to use for the command connection. It can be
changed in the rare circumstance that it conflicts with another port in use on
the GUI PC. The default can almost always be used.

5. Enter Network Mask [0xFFFFFF00]...........: FFFFFF00
Enter the network mask for your subnet in hexadecimal format. See your
system administrator if you’re unsure of the proper value. The default will work
for most simple, localized networks.
6. Enter GUI IP address [192.168.0.212]......: 192.168.1.212
Enter the IP address of the GUI PC used to communicate to the router. This
address must be on the same subnet as the router. Once configured, it is not
necessary to change this value if you run the GUI on a different machine.
7. Enter XYC GUI UDP Port [55555]............: 55555
This is the UDP port number used to broadcast configuration and receive
connections from XYC GUIs. It can be changed in the rare circumstance that it
conflicts with another port in use on the GUI PC. The default can almost always
be used.
8. The program then displays the following prompt:
About to configure Tier #1...
1. Make sure this is the only tier currently connected to
the local network!
2. Press <RETURN> when ready to proceed...
The configuration parameters for the ADR-32 are now UDP broadcast, and
should be received by the router (make sure only the appropriate tier is connected
to the network; turn off the power or disconnect the Ethernet cable on any other
routers). If a debug terminal is attached to the router, a confirmation message is
printed.
9. Reboot the ADR-32 - power it down and then power it back up. The new
network parameters now should be in effect.
