8.4. Remote Control Overview
The 12Mic can be remotely controlled. Remote control is activated by default and is not affected by
preset changes or device lock.
The network controls over HTTP and AVDECC operate simultaneously. Two or more controller instances
are synchronized. The MIDI control works either via DIN or is embedded into either MADI signals. Both
network and MIDI control can be operated at the same time.
The remote control protocols are not protected against malicious use. When activated, the
remote control server allows anyone on the network to make changes to the configuration
of the device. To limit access, secure the network that the device is connected to.
8.4.1. Finding the Device on a Network
The 12Mic has three integrated network adapters (USB 2.0 and ethernet). The adapters can be used,
individually or simultaneously, to control the device with HTTP ("web remote"). The web remote control
works on any IP-based network, including wireless networks.
The ethernet connection additionally supports AVDECC 1722.1 remote protocol, which requires a
physical connection (cables), but does not require AVB switches. Wireless routers are not supported for
AVDECC.
To enable web remote functionality over HTTP:
1. Open the
remote
tab in the
STATE
section.
2. Ensure that the
HTTP Remote
setting is switched to
ON
.
USB
When the device is connected with a USB 2.0 cable to a Apple macOS™ or Microsoft Windows™
computer, a network device is automatically installed in the background that assigns the 12Mic the
following IP address:
Only
one
of the following products can be connected to the host computer via USB at a
time: RME M-32 AD Pro, M-32 DA Pro, 12Mic, AVB Tool, M-1610 Pro.
Ethernet
The integrated ethernet adapter will join an IP network when connected. If no DHCP server is found, for
example when connecting the 12Mic directly to a computer, an address is automatically self-assigned (in
