Connecting Nucleus to Multiple Computers
Connecting a Nucleus to multiple DAW computers inevitably introduces a little more complexity.
Network
To connect Nucleus to multiple DAW computers, you will probably need to connect the Nucleus and all the computers via a
network switch or router with sufficient bandwidth to cope with the volume of data which is transferred to and from 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 12 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 can be 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. By plugging your keyboard (& mouse) into the Nucleus USB hub, both Nucleus and your keyboard (&
mouse) can be switched together.
