Eventide 600W+ WheatNet-IP Delay Setup

The Eventide delay ships set to a default of 192.168.87.239. If you are deploying more than one, or if you need it on a different address, change the IP using Telnet:

  1. Open PuTTY and connect to the device.
  2. username: wheatstone
  3. there is no password, when prompted, hit enter
  4. At the prompt, enter ip <ip address> <netmask> <gateway> and hit enter
    example:

ip 192.168.87.20 255.255.255.0 192.168.87.1

Reboot for the IP to take effect.

Once you have the IP set, add it in Navigator as a Peripheral Device
a. Click the Devices tab, click Add

b. Give it a name, fill in the IP address of the delay, and choose the host blade for the delay to connect to:

Do not change the default TCP port. Click OK when finished.
This creates the WNIP destination (the input to the delay, or where you route program audio) and the WNIP source (the output of the delay, or the post delay audio that you will route to transmission). Both source and destination will have BD600 in the name, which you can relabel as desired in Navigator, and these items will appear on the host blade that you selected.

The delay can be hosted by any blade. When the delay is powered up and on the network, the device will get a green dot on the Peripheral Device tab.

Route the audio from the console to the delay input destination you just created.

On the front panel of the delay, set the input for WNET. (See the Eventide manual.)

Eventide Error Messages #

NO WNET ROUTING = you do not have anything routed to the delay in Navigator

NO WNET CABLE = the WNIP Ethernet cable for the delay is disconnected.

Logic Connections #

The Eventide delay can receive 16 control signals from the network and send 16 statuses to it.

There are 16 SLIO inputs and 16 SLIO outputs on the LIO Info tab of the host blade in WheatNet-IP Navigator under the heading BD600 LIOs

The Factory Default values for the Eventide are as follows, which will match with the 16 x 16 SLIOs
