Establishing A Peer-To-Peer Connection; Physical Connection; Tcp/Ip Setup - Martin Audio MA NETCONTROL User Manual

Note: A separate, third-party network device must be accommodated in the system to create a LAN
connection. This could raise reliability issues, particularly in touring applications. Any network
devices should be chosen with this consideration in mind.

Establishing a peer-to-peer connection

4.2.1 Physical connection

You must first establish a NomadLink subnet before connecting your MA Netcontrol host computer.
Connect the PC to the MA-NET1 unit using an Ethernet cable. A crossover cable should be used for peer-to-
peer connections; however, many newer PCs will allow peer-to-peer connection using a standard ("straight")
Ethernet cable. See Figure 1.
Note: Two Ethernet ports are provided on the MA-NET1: one on the front-panel and one on the rear-panel.
(The front-panel port is primarily for temporary setup and service use.) However, only one PC
running MA Netcontrol may be connected to each subnet (MA-NET1) at a time.
4.3

TCP/IP setup

To establish direct (peer-to-peer) communication between the MA Netcontrol host PC and the MA-NET1, you
first must set the TCP/IP address in your computer.
The MA-NET1 has following default address:
IP: 192.168.1.166
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0
The PC must be set manually to a compatible address, such as the following.
IP: 192.168.1.100
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0 (leave blank)
