have problems with the USB connection, please refer to the
Installation Guide for details on how to install the proper driver.
When connecting the unit via an Ethernet network, you have several
options. The PC/MAC application has an auto-discovery tool that will
automatically connect to any unit found on the network.
Standard DHCP Network
For the easiest connection, use a standard Ethernet Router, plug in
the unit and your computer, and the connection should be made
automatically. Standard routers have a DHCP server built in and
enabled. A DHCP server assigns a network address to your computer
and to the DSP, allowing them to connect automatically.
!
Connection without DHCP server
Alternatively, you can use a direct (cross) cable or a simple Ethernet
Switch to connect the unit to your PC or MAC. Please note that in
this case, especially Windows computers may take up to several
minutes to assign themselves a network address (indicated by the
text: "This connection has limited or no connectivity"). The computer
and the DSP both will assign themselves a network address in the
ZeroConfig range (169.254.0.0 - 169.254.255.255), and the DSP
will be discovered automatically by the PC/MAC application.
To facilitate connections without DHCP router, it may be convenient
to set your computer to a fixed IP address. If you do this, please
choose any address in the ZeroConfig range, and set the subnet
mask to 255.255.0.0.
Fixed IP address
It is also possible to set a fixed IP address and subnet mask for the
1800B. WARNING: If you set a wrong address (in a different range
than your computer), you may not be able to connect anymore. It is
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to consult a system administrator before
making such settings.
Firewall
After starting the software application for the first time, your
computer may ask you to allow or block the application access to the
network. Please make sure to allow this; if there is a firewall
between the application and the DSP the application will not find the
DSP.
