Euphonix MC Media Application Controller User Manual

Euphonix Media Application Controller Operation Manual Installation and Configuration
21
This configuration is only necessary with HUI and Mackie Control applications. Eu-
Con-aware applications communicate automatically with the MC. MC Client enables
the MC’s keyboard, trackball, and Soft Keys to control all non-EuCon-aware applica-
tions just as the keyboard and mouse.
2.3.2 MC Client and EuCon Discovery Options
When Windows loads, MC Client and EuConDiscovery services automatically start,
and their icons appear (Euphonix logo combined with orange D for EuConDiscovery
and blue C for MC client) in the system tray, next to the clock.
In OS X, MC Client launches on startup and runs invisibly if the EuPrefsPane is active.
To enable/disable MC Client and EuCon activity, open the EuPrefsPane and press the
Start/Stop button at the bottom of the window. EuCon defaults to active when installed.
In Windows, right-click the EuConDiscovery icon in the system tray for these options:
• Euphonix Network: Lists each installed network card with valid TCP/IP con-
nection. Select the network on which the MC and your workstation will com-
municate from this list.
• Enable Discovery Network Wide Logging: Toggle this setting on for debug-
ging only.
• Display Discovery Database: Opens list of all EuCon clients on the network.
• Quit: Shuts down the MC Client service.
• About MC Client/EuConDiscovery Service: Displays a dialog box showing
the MC Client/EuConDiscovery copyright notice and software version.
2.3.3 IP Addressing
MC
The Netgear RP614 router included with the standalone MC takes care of all IP address-
ing, using its internal DHCP server to distribute IP addresses to the MC and your work-
station(s). Make sure the router is powered on and connected (with Ethernet cables) to
your MC and workstation(s) for the DHCP server to correctly assign IP addresses.
The WAN port on the Netgear can be connected to a studio LAN, or to an Internet con-
nection, depending on your studio setup. Note that the MC and workstation(s) must be
on the same network subnet for the MC to connect to your workstation(s) properly (con-
necting them all to the LAN ports on the Netgear automatically does this).
