Installation and Setup 7
Connecting S1
First connect power, then connect your S1 to your workstation computer (the computer running Pro Tools or other DAW).
To connect your S1 to your workstation computer:
1 Plug one end of the AC power cord appropriate for your location into the power adapter and the other into a power outlet. Make
sure the AC power cord is pushed all the way into the adapter.
2 Connect the DC output cable from the power adapter to the DC In jack on the back panel.
3 Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the back panel of the S1.
4 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an available Ethernet port on your computer, or to the computer’s Thunderbolt
port using an Ethernet-to-Thunderbolt adapter.
• If you want to connect the S1 to a local area network, or to connect additional S1 units and/or an Avid Dock, connect the Ether-
net cable to an Ethernet router or switch, and make sure the router or switch is powered on before powering on the S1.
5 If you are connecting to a Mac with two Ethernet ports, we recommend you use Ethernet 1 rather than Ethernet 2. However, if
you want to use Ethernet 2, do the following on your computer:
• On the workstation computer, go to
System Preferences > EUCON.
• Click the
Network Interface pop-up menu and choose Ethernet 2.

An Ethernet-to-USB adapter may also be used.
S1 cannot connect to your workstation computer using a wireless connection. A hard-wired network connection is required.
