About setting up your computer

Once the HD24's IP address has been set up, the
computer needs to be set to a related address on
the network and configured to use Ethernet and
TCP/IP as its communication standard.
Doing this is different for the two major types of
operating system: the Microsoft Windows OS
used by (mostly) Intel-based PCs, and the Apple
Macintosh OS. While these instructions may
seem complex, in most cases you'll only have to
do this once, and then you'll be set.

A word of caution

These instructions cover the most common
system configurations. It's impossible to cover
every possible combination of software and
computer in this manual. There are dozens of
preference files, communication settings, etc. that
may make things a little different from what we
describe.
If you run into difficulties or something that isn't
covered in the rest of this chapter, take a note of
every screen message and setting if they're
different from what's shown. More information
regarding networking with your HD24 will be
available in the
www.alesis.com .
To learn more about general networking issues,
open the manual for your computer, and check
web sites such as:
The World of Windows Networking
http://www.wown.com
And finally, nothing works as well as consulting
with someone familiar with networking and your
computer's operating system.
If you have an Apple Macintosh computer, turn

If you have a Windows-based PC, skip
