MAC Installation 

SETTING MANUAL IP ADDRESSES

If you aren’t using DHCP to automatically set IP addresses,

you must set them manually on the DLC and Mac to ensure

the two devices are communicating correctly.

System Preferences > Network > Ethernet Tab > Configure

IPv4 Manually

Example:

Choose  a  unique  IP  address

by  changing  ‘X’  to  a  number

b e t we e n   1 - 2 5 4 ,   i n   t h e

following IP address:

192 . 168 . 100 . X

This  ‘X’  number  must  be

different on the DLC module

and the computer.

Set the Subnet Mask to

255 . 255 . 255 . 0

We recommend leaving

Router settings blank.

On  the  DLC  Module,  press

the  Setup  Button. The  OLED

displays will show the first page

of the console setup.

Using the Page Keys underneath

the  first  encoder,  page  to  the

right and ensure that Use DHCP

is set to

NO

in the next menu.

NETWORKING THEORY

On a network, devices must have a unique “address” to ensure they can communicate, this

is known as an IP address. You will need to decide whether your network will automatically

assign IP addresses to connected devices, or if you will manually assign them yourself.

If connecting DLC to your computer directly, you will most likely want to set the IP addresses

manually, however if connecting DLC to a larger network, typically the IP address will be

automatically assigned using “DHCP” (you will commonly have used this without realising

when connecting to things like WiFi networks).
