Communicating with the EXT-DSC (MAC OSX)
This tutorial explains how to connect to your EXT-DSC unit from Mac OS X
without Hyper Media Director.
First we explain how to locate the EXT-DSC unit on the network and then how to
access and upload connect to the EXT-DSC.
Requirements:
► One EXT-DSC unit.
► A Mac computer running Mac OS X version 10.2 or later.
Finding The EXT-DSC On The Network:
This section explains how to fi nd the network address of an EXT-DSC unit
connected to the same local area network (LAN) as the Mac computer, or directly
to the Mac computer. This is particularly useful when the EXT-DSC unit has been
confi gured to use DHCP or when the static IP address that was confi gured has
been lost.
1. Verify that the EXT-DSC is powered on and running: the green LED should
blink once per second.
2. Verify that the EXT-DSC has network connectivity: the red LED should be on
but dim (not bright).
3. Open the Terminal program, which you’ll fi nd in the Applications Utilities
folder. The Terminal program presents a text based terminal where
commands can be typed.
4. Type the command
ping -c 3 224.0.0.1
and press Return. You will see multiple responses from all computers and/or
devices on the network.
