Subnet

A small network within a larger network. For example, a TCP/IP network might be a subnet of a venue’s network, which could include computers throughout the building, or a network might be divided into subnets. For example, in a large installation, there may be one subnet per rack or room.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

This is a protocol for automatically assigning IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic (DHCP) addressing, a device might have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. DHCP relies on a DHCP server to assign and manage IP addresses.

Auto IP

If DHCP fails, the PCM96 selects a number and looks for collisions. If no collisions are found, the PCM96 accepts that number. If collisions are found, the PCM96 randomly selects another number and tries again.

Connecting the Computer Directly to the PCM96

Assumptions:

•Using OS-X 10.4 or later.

•Computer has a working Ethernet network adapter.

•You have administrative rights so that network settings can be changed if necessary.

1.Connect the included Ethernet cable to both the PCM96 and the com- puter.

2.Apply power to the PCM96 and wait for it to boot.

3.Open the standalone application.

Setup of a Simple Isolated Ethernet Network Using

DHCP

Assumptions:

•Using OS-X 10.4 or later.

•Computer has a working Ethernet network adapter.

•You have an Ethernet switch/router with DHCP capability and Ethernet cables for each connection needed.

•You have administrative rights so that network settings can be changed if needed.

•The Ethernet network consists of exactly one computer that will be used to run the PCM96 configuration software and one or more PCM96 units.

1.Connect the computer and any PCM96 to the switch hub using normal Ethernet cables.

2.Apply power to all PCM96s and wait for them to boot.

3.With DHCP enabled, the Ethernet switch/router should assign an IP address to each of the devices including your computer.

4.The PCM96 units should come up in the main window.
