Chapter 4: Installing and Configuring DADman Software 11
Assigning the IP Address for your Computer and
Pro Tools | MTRX
If using multiple MTRX, connect them one at a time to complete the network setup. If using a single
MTRX, ensure it is connected to the network and proceed. You have the option of using fixed IP addresses
or IP addresses assigned via DHCP. If using DHCP, it is recommended that MTRX be connected to a
Router rather than rely on a self assigned 169.254 IP address.
Automatic IP address
You must have a network with a DHCP server to allocate the IP addresses.
To use an automatic IP address:
1 Configure your computer IP address to DHCP using the Mac System Preferences or the Windows Con-
trol Panel.
2 Choose Settings > Device List, then right-click the MTRX and choose Network Settings.
3 Configure each MTRX in turn to use DCHP.
4 When you are done, you can connect more than one MTRX to the network, and they will all appear in
the DADman Device List.
Fixed IP Address
You must have a preferred range of IP addresses, and a network mask for the computer network and the
connected MTRX units.
To use a fixed IP address:
1 Configure your computer IP address and network mask using the Mac System Preferences or the Win-
dows Control Panel to 10.0.7.25 | 255.255.255.0.
2 Choose Settings > Device List, then right-click the MTRX and choose Network Settings.
3 Configure each MTRX unit in turn with a unique IP address and the preferred network mask, for exam-
ple 10.0.7.21 | 255.255.255.0. In this window you can also configure the IP audio network settings.
4 When you are done you can connect more than one MTRX to the network, and each one appears in the
DADman Device List.
When using IP Audio Dante with one or more MTRX units and EUCON peripherals (such as S1, S3,
Dock, S4, or S6), use a dedicated Network Interface for IP Audio Dante and connect all other network
devices to a separate Network Interface (for MTRX/DADman, EUCON, local network, internet, and so
on). Using separate Network Interfaces is especially important when streaming audio over Dante.
In order for MTRX to function properly, the router must be correctly configured in DADman software.
