2.2 - Network configuration on computers
The CM-MIDI always communicates always over Ethernet network, both for RTP-MIDI applications and for
configuration.
Thus, a computer is needed to configure the CM-MIDI. Note however that the computer may be not needed
anymore once configuration is done if you intend to use the CM-MIDI in peer-to-peer configuration with a
CVToolbox for example.
In the next chapters, we will show you how to configure Mac and Windows computers in order to
communicate with the CM-MIDI.
2.2.1 - Mac OS-X
Network configuration on the Macintosh is done with “System Preferences” application (the icon with gears).
Open the “System Preferences” then click on “Network” icon. You will get the following window:
The static configuration (recommended for RTP-MIDI) is activated by choosing “Manually” in the “Configure
IPv4” list.
Enter the IP address you want for your computer, then enter the subnet mask. In the screenshot, you can
see that we have selected address 192.168.0.6 with a subnet mask 255.255.255.0. This means that all IP devices
must have an IP address starting with 192.168.0.xx if you want to connect with them using this configuration.
If you want to use dynamic IP address, select “Using DHCP” in the “Configure IPv4” list. You may need to
click on “Advanced” button, and click on “Renew DHCP lease” if your computer was already using a static IP
address.
Click on the “Apply” button to activate the configuration.
