Use the front panel Ethernet port and a standard Ethernet cable to connect processors to a 10, 10/100, or 100 Mbps Ethernet hub, switch, or router on the network. Connect additional processors to the Ethernet hub, switch, or router or connect additional processors to the system using the U-Net ports as in Section 4.4.4.

NOTE: Audio signals may also be routed between processors over the same U-Net cables by assigning Input Channel and Output Channel signals to U-Net channels.

4.4.8 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION -- EAWPILOT EAWPilot requires an IBM compatible PC equipped as follows:

Operating System:

Windows Vista, XP, 2000, NT, ME, or Windows 98

I/O:

Ethernet network interface card (NIC) 10, 10/100, or 100 Mbps

The latest EAWPilot can be downloaded from the EAW web site: www.eaw.com. Go to the “Downloads” page or contact the factory and a copy will be sent to you on a CD-ROM. Once installed and with the computer connected to the UX8800, open EAWPilot by clicking on EAWPilot in the Start/Programs/EAW/EAWPilot.
