Connecting to Pipeline via Bonjour

In addition to an IP address, each Pipeline has a Bonjour-friendly name:

• Pipeline SC default: Pipeline_XXXX where XXXX is the serial number

• Pipeline HD Dual default: PipelineHDDualXXXX_N where N is device number 1 or 2.

• Pipeline Quad default: PipelineQuadXXXX_N where N is device number 1, 2, 3, or 4.

You can use this name to use Bonjour to identify Pipelines on a network and connect.

To connect to a Pipeline using the Bonjour panel (not available to Firefox users), follow these steps:

Internet Explorer (Windows)

1. Open Internet Explorer and select View > Explorer Bar > Bonjour to display the Bonjour panel.

2. Select the Pipeline in the panel to log on and display Pipeline Direct.

Safari (Mac OS X)

1. Open Safari and select Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks.

2. In the Collections panel, click Bonjour.

3. Select the Pipeline from the list to log on and display Pipeline Direct.

Firefox (Windows | Mac OS X)

1. Open Firefox and enter the IP address (http://169.254.1.0, for example) – Bonjour is not supported.

2. Press Enter to log on and display Pipeline Direct.

Connecting via IP Address

Each Pipeline from the factory is assigned a default, link-local IP address in the range 169.254.1.0 to

169.254.254.255. The factory-supplied IP address is printed on the bottom of Pipeline SC. On Pipeline HD

Dual and Pipeline Quad, it is printed on the left side, when looking at the front of the device.

For Pipeline HD Dual, channel number 2 is incremented by one from the default address. On Pipeline

Quad, channels 2, 3, and 4 are serially incremented by one from the default IP address of device 1 through

4. For example, if Pipeline 1 is 169.254.1.10, then Pipeline 4 is 169.254.1.13.

If the Pipeline’s IP address has not been modified, you can identify Pipelines on a network and connect

using an IP address by following these steps:

1. Identify the Pipeline IP address by viewing the label on the bottom of the device.

2. Open a Web browser and enter the URL in the form: http://169.254.12.194, replacing this sample IP

address with the address of the target Pipeline. Press Enter to log on and display Pipeline Direct,

authenticating if you’ve supplied a password on the Pipeline.
