OFTWARE NSTALLATION
Open the AWS924-948_Win_Support.zip archive.
AWS Remote: Double click on AWS924-948Remote.exe to install the program.
ipMIDI: Run the setupipmidi_1.8.exe application (note that the last part of the name may change depending on the version
you are installing) by double clicking on it. Note that you will have to restart the computer at the end of the setup process.
Once the computer has restarted right click on the ipMIDI icon in the task bar and set the number of MIDI ports to 10
in the resulting pop-up.
If you are upgrading an older copy of ipMIDI you must uninstall it (using Add/Remove programs) before running the installer.

AKE AND ONFIGURE THE
The AWS Remote software is designed to communicate with your workstation over Ethernet using the ipMIDI driver to
emulate a multiport MIDI interface. The ipMIDI driver enables your workstation to send and receive MIDI control data
via a network connection. Using Ethernet ensures the fastest possible communication between your workstation
computer and AWS. The standard direct connection uses an RJ45 crossover network cable (not supplied) to connect the
console's network connector directly to the network port on your workstation computer using the console's default fixed
IP address of 192.168.1.2. Note that many computer adaptor cards will autosense a direct connection negating the need for a
crossover cable. If you are unsure whether your workstation computer's network adapter has this functionality, please use a crossover
rather than a pin to pin cable.
Direct Connection
It is possible to connect AWS to a larger network which incorporates multiple computers and to enable dynamic (DHCP)
addressing. These configurations need special consideration. Please see the notes at the end of these instructions for
details.

IRECT ETWORK
Please note that currently OS X does not allow two ports to be used for IP traffic. As such, the connection to your main
network will not be available while the AWS is connected.
To simplify the process of switching between networks, it is recommended that you create a new network Location for
the AWS in network preferences. Another Location ('internet' for example) could be created to enable connection to the
internet. This would use the network settings provided by your Internet Service Provider or network administrator. You
can easily switch between network Locations by going to the Apple Menu and scrolling down to Location.
