Introduction

This guide was written with the aim of guiding you through the installation of a

Soundweb Contrio Server. We recommend that you read this installation guide

before attempting to install and operate the server.

The Soundweb Contrio Server allows logic tasks to be ofﬂoaded from BSS

Soundweb London devices on the network and managed on a single, more

capable, centralized HiQnet™ device. This frees up logic processing power on

the Soundweb London devices. The Soundweb Contrio Server also provides self-

healing capabilities and functions as a multi-channel media device.

3

Rack Installation

The Soundweb Contrio Server must be installed according to the guidelines laid

out in this document. Damage caused to the Soundweb Contrio Server resulting

from a failure to follow these guidelines is not covered by the warranty. The

Soundweb Contrio Server MUST be installed using the provided rack rails.

2� Power Switch

The power switch is located behind the removable front panel. Use this

switch to turn the Soundweb Contrio Server on or off.

3� Gigabit Network/Dante Ethernet Ports

Connect one of these ports to the network switch for communication with

the HiQnet network. By default both ports have HiQnet control enabled on

them, but only one of the ports has Dante enabled. Dante provides up to

64 x 64 Dante I/O channels for connecting to other Dante-equipped audio

devices. For information on verifying which port has Dante enbled, see

'Determining Which Port To Use For HiQnet & Dante' on page 6.

4� IEC Power Inlet

Select the appropriate IEC power cable for the country of installation

(included) and connect it to this power inlet.

5� Power Cable Retaining Clip

Route the IEC power cable through this retaining clip for power cable

management.

Cable Recommendations

Network Connections

For Gigabit speeds, use Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables for all network connections. Cat 5

cable may be used for networks running at a speed of 10/100Mbps.

Dante Connections

For Gigabit speeds, use Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables for all Dante connections. Cat 5

cable may be used for networks running at a speed of 10/100Mbps.

Connecting To A Contrio Server

After mounting the server properly in the rack and applying power, basic

conﬁguration is needed. Depending on how your network is conﬁgured will

determine which method you should use. There are basically three options to

choose from:

1� Self Addressing (a network without a DHCP server or static IP addresses)

2� Automatic Addressing (a network with a DHCP server)

3� Static IP addresses (the IP addresses are assigned manually)

No matter which option you chose, there is a requirement to have Audio

Architect 1.90.1 or higher to conﬁgure the device and update to the latest

ﬁrmware. If you do not have the software, you may download it from http://

audioarchitect�harmanpro�com. If you have problems, the direct connect

method (outlined in 'Self Addressing or Direct Connection' on page 7) is the

way to verify the most basic of communications.

65

Determining Which Port To Use For HiQnet & Dante

Ports and are functionally identical. By default both ports have

HiQnet control enabled on them, but only one of the ports has Dante enabled.

It is not possible for the conﬁguration process to pre-determine which port will

have Dante enabled. For that reason it is necessary to conﬁrm which port Dante

is using. Typically it is port

.

NOTE: If you do not require the use of the built in media engine and therefore

the use of Dante, you can skip this next section and go straight to conﬁguring

the HiQnet port, starting on page 12.

Determining Dante Port

To determine the Dante port you will need a computer running Audinate's Dante

Controller software. The software is free to download from http://www�audinate�

com.

To determine the Dante port:

1� Connect your PC to the

port on the server directly with a Cat 5e or

better cable.

2� If the computers are not on, power them up and wait approximately 60

seconds for the addressing process to take place.

3� Verify that there are amber or green LEDs on the rear of the Contrio

server at

. This indicates that you have a connection between your

computer and the server. If the indicators are not illuminated or ﬂashing,

check that the cables are seated fully and that the adapter is enabled on

your computer.

4� Launch Dante controller on the computer.

5� If Dante Controller discovers the HiQnet Contrio Server, then the Dante

port has been conﬁrmed.

6� If Dante Controller does not discover the HiQnet Contrio Server, then

move the LAN cable to the other Gb port on the server. Allow time for the

address process to take place. After approximately 90 seconds, the HiQnet

Contrio Server should appear in the Dante Controller software

7� If the Dante Interface of the HiQnet Contrio Server is not found on either

port, please check your ﬁrewall settings to verify that Dante Controller is

not being blocked and repeat the process again.

7

Self Addressing or Direct Connection

This approach to addressing is the most basic and simplest, but requires time

for all of the negotiations to take place. These negotiations can take up to

two minutes after the boot up of the server and your computer. This approach

removes many of the variables.

To connect using a self-assigned IP address:

1� With both your computer and the server turned off, using a Cat 5e or

higher cable, directly connect your laptop to port

on the rear of the

server. The port on the server has auto sensing so you do not need to

worry about a crossover cable.

2� Turn on both the server and your computer and allow them to boot up.

There is no user intervention needed for the server other than applying

power. The server will be ready to function after the boot up cycle.

3� Verify that there are amber and green LEDs on the rear of the Contrio

server at

. This indicates that you have a connection between your

computer and the server. If the indicators are not illuminated or ﬂashing,

check that the cables are seated fully and that the adapter is enabled on

your computer.

4� After verifying connection, on your computer, launch HiQnet NetSetter

from the Start Menu — typically under Programs, HARMAN Pro.

87

5� NetSetter may come up with the wrong network adapter selected to

communicate with. In the upper left hand corner there is a drop down

menu that will list the IP addresses your computer has. Select the IP

address that begins with 169.254 the last two numbers will vary. If you do

not see that address as one of the options, please verify that your network

is enabled and the cables are connected.

6� If the HiQnet Contrio Server is not found, please check your ﬁrewall

settings to verify that HiQnet NetSetter is not being blocked and repeat the

process again.

7� After selecting the network interface, wait up to one minute while the

software discovers the address of the Contrio Server. Once it has been

discovered, it will appear in the table within NetSetter. The Status column

should say 'Discovered' if everything is correct. If the status column does

not say 'Discovered', ensure that the DHCP/Auto-IP is checked for the

server. If it is not, click to enable it and then at the bottom of the window

click Apply Current Edits

8� Next move the LAN cable to , wait approximately 90 seconds and

then choose ‘Rescan Network’ in NetSetter. You should then conﬁgure

your

port accordingly. This is most likely your Dante port, so choose

the settings appropriate to Dante operation. When ﬁnished, click Apply

Current Edits to accept changes.

9� You have now established communication between your computer and

the server. There is one more piece of conﬁguration that HARMAN

recommends.

9

10� Launch Audio Architect from the Start Menu — typically under Programs,

HARMAN Pro.

11� If you have not launched Audio Architect before, the software will initially

ask you to conﬁgure the network settings. In the Ethernet Interfaces

window, click 'Add Connection' and select the same network adapter as

chosen in Step 5. This window can also be found by clicking on 'File' >

'Application Options' > 'Network Connectivity'.

109

12� Close the options window, as it has been veriﬁed that there is

communication between the server and your computer. The Contrio Server

should appear in the Discovered devices. Simply drag it into the venue ﬁle.

13� If the HiQnet Contrio Server is not found, please check your ﬁrewall

settings to verify that HiQnet Audio Architect is not being blocked and

repeat the process again.

14� Highlight the Server by ﬁrst clicking on the rack, then clicking on the

device. When the device turns yellow, right click on the Contrio Server and

select 'Change HiQnet Adapter'.

11

15� In the resulting window from the drop down menu, select Adapter 1. What

this step does is conﬁgures the server to send all the HiQnet control trafﬁc

through

. Note that if Dante is on , then it is recommended that

you set this setting to Adapter 2 so as to separate HiQnet from Dante.

16� You may now connect your conﬁgured Contrio Server to both your control

and Dante networks. If it is the same network, this splitting of the network

cards simpliﬁes the conﬁguration of Dante.

1211

Automatic Addressing – DHCP

To connect using DHCP:

1� With both your computer and the server turned off, using a Cat 5e or

higher cable, directly connect your laptop to a network switch that is

connected to the DHCP server. Also connect port

on the rear of the

server to the same network.

2� Turn on both the server and your computer and allow them to boot up.

There is no user intervention needed for the server other than applying

power. The server will be ready to function after the boot up cycle.

3� Verify that there are amber and green LEDs on the rear of the Contrio

server at

. This indicates that you have a connection between the

switch and the server. If the indicators are not illuminated or ﬂashing,

check that the cables are seated fully or replace the cable.

4� After verifying connection, on your computer, launch HiQnet NetSetter

from the Start Menu — typically under Programs, HARMAN Pro.

13

5� NetSetter may come up with the wrong network adapter selected to

communicate with. In the upper left hand corner there is a drop down

menu that will list the IP addresses your computer has. Select the IP

address that is not 127.0.0.1. If you do not see an additional address as

one of the options, please verify that your network is enabled and the

cables are connected.

6� After selecting the network interface, wait up to one minute while the

software discovers the address of the Contrio Server. Once it has been

discovered, it will appear in the table within NetSetter. The Status column

should say 'Discovered' if everything is correct. If the status column does

not say 'Discovered', ensure that the DHCP/Auto-IP is checked for the

server. If it is not, click to enable it and then at the bottom of the window

click Apply Current Edits.

7� If the HiQnet Contrio Server is not found, please check your ﬁrewall

settings to verify that HiQnet NetSetter is not being blocked and repeat the

process again.

8� Next move the LAN cable to

, wait approximately 90 seconds and then

choose ‘Rescan Network’ in NetSetter. You should then conﬁgure your
