Connecting Nucleus to Multiple Computers

Connecting a Nucleus to multiple DAW computers introduces a little more complexity.
Network
2
To connect Nucleus to multiple DAW computers, you will probably need to connect the Nucleus
via a network switch or router with sufficient bandwidth to cope with the volume of data which is transferred to and from
2
Nucleus . It is essential that you take note of the configuration issues described previously.
Note that when connected to a wider network, via a router or switch, a DHCP server will probably be available and so

Nucleus would normally be set to use it rather than the default fixed IP address. See Page 14 for details.
USB
A USB switch will be necessary for switching the USB connection between computers. This can best be provided by using
KVM ('Keyboard, Video, Mouse') switch with switchable USB ports. If an 'automatic' unit is obtained, Nucleus
configured to issue the appropriate command 'KVM hot key' to the KVM to select the correct USB port whenever a different
DAW Layer is selected on Nucleus
your keyboard (& mouse) can be switched together.
