Chapter 2: Installation
System Connections
TCP/IP Configuration
To establish communication, you will need to configure the TCP/IP settings for your computer’s network interface
card. The following screenshots demonstrate how to do so on a computer running Windows 7 and Mac OS X:
IP Address
The IP address of your computer’s network interface card must be unique, and set within the same range as that
of the mc²56 MKII control system. You can check the IP address of your control system from the Central GUI
(using the
System Settings display, see IP Address Primary). For example, if your Lawo system's IP address =
192.168.102.56 , then set your computer's IP address to 192.168.102.101 . In a networked installation, it is likely
that you will be connecting via an Ethernet switch, so please consult your network administrator for further details.
Check the address carefully. If there is an IP conflict, then the console will not operate correctly.
Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask should be identical to that of the system. The default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 .
Checking Network Communication
Open your browser software, and enter the IP address of the mc²56 MKII control system into the URL field - the
Web Browser Interface home page should appear.
