Apple Macintosh configuration instructions

The Apple Macintosh was designed from the outset
to be networked. Most current Macintosh models
have Ethernet ports built right in; you don't need to
purchase additional hardware unless you want to
have several devices on your Ethernet (AppleTalk)
network.
Make Ethernet connections to your computer
and HD24 only when the power is off to
avoid damage.
Read the instructions that came with your
computer regarding Ethernet connections
and operation. Alesis is not responsible for
damage to hardware or software caused by
improper connection or operation.

Connection

With the Macintosh (or hub, if applicable)
completely shut down, connect either a crossover
cable (if you're connecting an HD24 to a single
Macintosh) or a regular cable between the
jack on the HD24's rear panel, and the Ethernet jack
on the back of the Macintosh (noted with a
"<•••>" symbol).
When the connection is properly made and
the computer and HD24 are powered up, a
green LED should light next to the
jack on the HD24's rear panel. Once data is
being transferred, a yellow LED will flash
there as well.

Setting up the AppleTalk, TCP/IP
and Remote Access control panels
Next, you have to set up your Macintosh so it
knows what language to speak to the ADAT
HD24. This involves changing several Control
Panel settings within your Macintosh.
Make a note of all these settings before you
change them, so you can go back to the
way things were to use your system as it
was previously. Otherwise, you may find
that you're unable to use your printer, or
get online to the Internet.
Better yet, use the Location Manager
extension to make a copy of all these
settings so you can easily switch between
the mode you use normally, and the mode
you use when exchanging files with the
HD24. In the Apple menu, select Control
Panels/Location Manager.
menu, select Duplicate Location (assuming
you've already set up your current location),
then rename it as something like "ADAT
Transfer". Set the "Current Location" to
that, and follow the following instructions to
set AppleTalk properly.
Set Remote Access:
Under some circumstances, you may need to
create a new "blank" configuration in the Remote
Access control panel, so your Mac doesn't try to
use your Internet service provider to reach the
HD24. Simple go to Control Panels/Remote
Access, duplicate the current setting and rename
it (as "HD24"). Then make sure all fields for
name, password, and phone number are blank.
An additional benefit of starting here is that the
RemoteAccess menu contains links to both
AppleTalk and TCP/IP control panels, which you
have to set next.
