Status colors
The devices in the MA Network configuration can have different colors to help identify problems and status of the
devices in the network.
Hostname, Offset and Bridge
The background color of the Hostname, Analog Offset, MIDI Offset and Bridge can have different colors.
Red:
The device is not present in the network or it is already connected to a (different) session.
Gray / Black:
The device is in the network, but is not in any session. The background is black for Stations - gray for
all other devices.
Dark green:
The device is in the network and is connected to the same session as you.
Bright green:
This is the device you currently using, and it is in a session.
Version number
The version number have a default white text color and it can have a red color. The red color is to indicate that the
device have an incompatible software version number and it cannot be used in the session.
Consoles
The consoles tab offers the possibility to configure the ports on a console that is connected to the network.
At the bottom of the screen there are some buttons:
Add
- Pressing this will open a small pop-up that lists all the available consoles in your network. If there is no
consoles, that are not already added, then the list will be empty. Not adding any actual consoles, will create an
"empty" console with the 0.0.0.0 IP address.
Delete
- Tapping this button will delete the selected console. You cannot delete your own console.
Add Present
- This will automatically add all the consoles that are present in the network.
Remove Absent
- This will remove the consoles from the list, that are not present in the network.
Remove Non-Members
- This will remove the consoles from the list, that are not a member of your session.
When you have added a console to the list, then you get a table where the rows are the different consoles (if there
are more than one). The columns are different settings. All the settings with a gray background color can be
changed. If the console is not connected to the session, then the changes might not be made in the console.
The columns are:
IP ETHERCON 1 (ETH0)
- This is the IP address of the number 1 EtherCon connector on the back of the console.
Changing this number will change the IP address on the console and requires a reboot.
DHCP ETHERCON 1 (ETH0)
- Editing this cell will give a "Yes". This enables DHCP for Ethernet port 1 and will
prompt a reboot. Read more about DHCP in the
Using DHCP in MA devices topic
IP ETHERCON 2 (ETH1)
- This is the IP address of the number 2 EtherCon connector on the back of the console.
This connector is for Art-Net and should have an Art-Net compatible IP address. Changing this number will
change the IP address on the console and requires a reboot.
