4. Connecting remotely to the MDC-X
The MDC-X can also be used and operated without a physical monitor attached. You can always connect to the MDC-X
using “Remote Desktop” (vnc protocol or NoMaschine), ssh or MDC Touch
The default LAN address of the MDC-X is 192.168.0.200 (Netmask: 255.255.255.0).
Please note: Whenever you
change the LAN-IP of MDC-X or use wireless LAN your IP-Address maybe different. To change the IP-Address of the
MDC or connect to a wireless network please use the Network-Manager of the system by clicking icon on the lower
right of the taskbar. Please change only the address of the LAN device and NOT the ARTNET!
After you changed the
LAN IP of the MDC-X and have any Controll system like OSC, SYSTEM or DMX enabled you have to reboot the
system in order to make them work again.
4.1 MDC-Touch
Use a webbrowser/smartphone/tablet and connect to http://192.168.0.200 (if licence for remove access was
purchased). Please note that the address may depends on your settings.
4.2 Remote Desktop
We recommend using NoMachine to connect to the MDC-X system!
•
NoMachine:
If you want to use NoMachine to connect you have to install the client software for NoMachine on your remote
system (PC, Notebook,..) first. Please download it from “https://www.nomachine.com/download“. After installing
connect to the default IP 192.168.0.200. In this case the username is “mdcuser” and password “mdcmdc”.
Important Note: When you connect for the first time to the MDC-X system make sure the checkbox (red circle in
the picture below) is NOT CHECKED!
•
VNC:
Use a remote desktop viewer (i.g. tightvnc, realvnc - NOT Microsoft RDP!) and connect to 192.168.0.200. The
default user is “mdcuser” and password is “remote”. Please note that the performance of the connection depends
on the network, compression quality settings of your VNC-client. When you use Remote-Desktop the whole screen
including all outputs is exported which will result in a high latency desktop.
4.3 SSH / SCP
Use any ssh/scp client (e.g. putty, winscp) and connect to 192.168.0.200. Username “mdcuser”, password “mdcmdc”.
If you have a local X11 environment like Xming you can enable X11-forwarding. Please note that X11-forwarding is not
usable for MDC programming!
4.4 Windows share / Samba
Connect using the network browser and search for “MDC-SHUTTLE”. If you dont see the name use:
•
Windows: “\\192.168.0.200\mdcuser\”
•
Mac/Linux: “smb://192.168.0.3/mdcuser/”
on the address line in the explorer/finder to connect to the device. Username “mdcuser” password “mdcmdc”.
WARNING: DO NOT USE FILENAMES WITH WHITE SPACES OR SPECIAL CHARS WHEN YOU UPLOAD THEM TO
MDC-X!
4.5 USB Stick / Harddisk / SD-Card
To transfer data to the MDC-X a USB harddisk or stick is the fasted and prefered way. You can connect any USB
