Appendix B: Address Book

This chapter describes the SoundStructure Studio address book that can be used to organize and store IP
addresses of SoundStructure systems. For SoundStructure systems that are not on the same subnet as the
computer running SoundStructure Studio, the address book is a convenient way to store information about
SoundStructure systems and provides an easy way to connect to SoundStructure systems.

Using the Address Book

SoundStructure Studio version 1.2 and above includes an address book that makes it easy to connect over
IP to SoundStructure systems across a network. The address book allows one to create and organize a
collection of SoundStructure systems, storing the IP address, the system name, and a descriptive comment.
A SoundStructure system may be a single device or multiple devices linked with OBAM.
While not a requirement, it is recommended that SoundStructure systems stored in the address book have
static IP addresses. Systems with dynamic IP addresses may also be stored in the address book, however
these systems may become unreachable if their IP address changes over time.
The address book is located under the Connect menu item as shown in the following figure.
The default address book is empty and will appear as shown in the following figure.
