Chapter 3: Installing and Configuring C|24 17
Establishing Communication
Between C|24 and Pro Tools
Communication between C|24 and Pro Tools is
configured by declaring the unit in Pro Tools.
To declare C|24 in Pro Tools:
1 Choose Setup > Peripherals, and click Ethernet
Controllers.
2 Select Enable. Pro Tools scans the Ethernet
connection for any Ethernet controllers con-
nected to the system.
3 Select the C|24 from the pop-up menu for
Controller #1.
If you are connected to a network, any Ethernet
controllers available on the network will be dis-
played in the pop-up menu, as follows:
Bold text indicates a connected unit.
Italic text indicates an offline or disconnected
unit.
Dimmed text indicates that the selected unit
is in use by another Pro Tools system.
4 Click OK to close the Peripherals dialog.
When communication is established, Pro Tools
displays colored outlines identifying the tracks
focused on C|24.
Naming C|24
You can set a name for a C|24 unit so that it can
be easily identified on a network shared with
other Ethernet controllers. You can name C|24
from Pro Tools, or directly from the unit in
Utility Mode.
To name C|24 in Pro Tools:
1 Choose Setup > Peripherals, and click Ethernet
Controllers.
2 Click Name Units. Any declared controllers
will appear in the Ethernet Controller Units
window.
3 Enter the name for the C|24 and click OK.
4 For information on naming C|24 from the
unit, see “Unit Name” on page 118.
