MXL2

10.5 Working with Mac™ OS and Virtualized
Windows ™

RaceStudio3 software runs exclusively on
Windows operating systems but, if the OS
is virtualized on an Apple Mac OS too.

The main issue in this case is that the host
OS (Mac) shares the WiFi interface with the
virtualized OS (Windows) not as a WiFi
interface but as an Ethernet interface.

Configuring Parallels™

Choose  “Configure…”  option  in  Parallels
Menu.

In the window you’re prompted, select

Hardware icon and then choose "Network"

option on the left.

In the right part of the window, be sure to
choose "Wi-Fi" in "Type" field.

Then choose the device you want to
communicate with.
