Chapter 2: Installation and Configuration
Before proceeding with this section, make sure you have followed the steps for your
single or multiple workstation configuration described in the appropriate Installation
Guide. This chapter provides in-depth information to configure your MC beyond the
basic setup discussed in the Installation Guide.
2.1 Hardware Information
This section will help streamline and optimize your MC installation.
2.1.1 System Optimization
Network
The MC, CM408T modules, and your workstation(s) must be on an isolated Ethernet
network (minimum 100 Mbit), due to the large amount of data transmitted between all
components. Network traffic unrelated to audio tasks may cause slowdowns and errors.
If your workstations absolutely require outside network access, an Ethernet DHCP
router/switch must be used to separate the MC from outside networks. Euphonix only
supports configurations in which the MC and CM408T modules are isolated on their
own separate network.
Workstations
Make sure to keep all workstations up-to-date by installing the most recent drivers for
all hardware. Some older drivers, especially for network and audio processing cards,
are unable to handle the MC and CM408T data requirements. This can manifest in slug-
gish behavior that affects channel banking across modules, updating playback status on
modules, and other data-intensive functions.
