.
It is essential that you take note of the configuration issues described previously.
Note that when connected to a wider network, via a router or switch, a DHCP server will probably be available and so
Nucleus
2
would normally be set to use it rather than the default fixed IP address. See Page 14 for details.
USB
A USB switch will be necessary for switching the USB connection between computers. This can best be provided by using
KVM (‘Keyboard, Video, Mouse’) switch with switchable USB ports. If an ‘automatic’ unit is obtained, Nucleus
2
can be
configured to issue the appropriate command ‘KVM hot key’ to the KVM to select the correct USB port whenever a different
DAW Layer is selected on Nucleus
2
. By plugging your keyboard (& mouse) into the Nucleus
2
USB hub, both Nucleus
2
and
your keyboard (& mouse) can be switched together.
