8.5. Remote Control Overview
The M-32 DA Pro 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 avoid this, secure the remote control connection
externally.
8.5.1. Finding the Device on a Network
The M-32 DA Pro has two integrated network adapters (USB 2.0 and Ethernet). Both adapters can be
used, individually or simultaneously, to control the device with HTTP ("web remote"). The HTTP 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 M-32 DA Pro
the following IP address:
Only one M-32 DA Pro can be connected via USB at a time.
Ethernet
The integrated ethernet adapter will join an IP network when connected. If no DHCP server is found, for
example when connecting the M-32 DA Pro directly to a computer, an address is automatically self-
assigned (in the 169.254.0.0/16 subnet).
To find out the current IP address:
1. Open the
remote
tab in the
STATE
section.
