9Artist Elite ® 4000 & 5000 Series Professional UHF Wireless SystemsEthernet connections (AEW-R5200):An RJ-45 jack on the rear panel of each AEW-R5200 provides anEthernet 10 BaseT data/control connection from both of its channelsto an external computer system. Data monitored includes actual, realtime“RF” and “AF” levels for receiver channels with direct Ethernetconnections to the associated computer. All other linked receivers ina system supply control-function access and all their data – exceptfor “RF” and “AF” levels – to the computer connected to the Masterreceiver.Other than being able to “see” the “RF” and “AF” levels, allfunctions of all receivers in a linked system can be monitored andcontrolled from the computer connected to the Master receiver.Details of the computer setup and operation will be found in aseparate AEW Control Interface manual provided with AEW-R5200receivers and 5000 Series systems.Multiple AEW-R5200 receivers in a system can each provide realtime“RF” and “AF” levels to the associated computer if eachAEW-R5200 has its own Ethernet connection, through an Ethernethub, to the computer.Receiver Controls and FunctionsFig. C AEW-R5200 Receiver Front PanelUHF SYNTHESIZED DIVERSITY RECEIVER AEW-R5200OUTPUTPUSH SELLEVELMODE/SETMODE/SETONPOWERRX NAMERX NAMEOFFPHONESMINMAX13 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13ININSTRUMENTMIC OUTPUTFront Panel Controls and Functions (Fig. C)NETWORKANT.

After a short power-up sequence, the display shows theoperating frequency and the alert light is illuminated (if no activetransmitters are present on this frequency). The receiver may alsodisplay a system position (i.e., “MASTER”, “SLV-#”) or anassigned transmitter or receiver name (if this feature has beenset up—the display recalls the setting from the last time powerwas applied). Refer to page 13 on setting up receiver names orpage 18 on setting up transmitter names.2 HEADPHONE OUTPUT: 1 /4" (6.3 mm) TRS (“stereo”) phone jackprovides monitoring of the receiver’s output. Plug in either amono or "stereo" headphone to monitor receiver signal.Note: On an operating unit, be careful not to press the Powerswitch accidentally when inserting a headphone jack or adjustingthe headphone level. In addition to interrupting receiver operation,even a momentary loss of power to a single unit within a linkedmulti-channel system will cause the loss of linking connection to theaffected receiver and all those “downstream” from it.3 HEADPHONE LEVEL CONTROL / CHANNEL SWITCH: Thiscontrol is used to set a comfortable listening level for theheadphone jack; it does not affect receiver audio output.

When the receiver is innormal operating mode, the Up/Down arrow buttons scrollthrough Receiver Address (“MASTER” or “SLV-#”), ReceiverPreset Name, or Transmitter Preset Name.4 HEADPHONE CHANNEL INDICATOR: Shows which receiverchannel is feeding the monitor headphones.
