MBOX ® DIRECTOR USER MANUAL 9
Running Mbox Director on a Separate Mac Computer
Use this procedure when running Mbox Director on a separate computer to operate one or more networked Mbox
servers. The computer, in this case, could be a stand-alone Mac
or an Mbox server itself. If Mbox Director will be run
on an Mbox server where it will control only that server, go back to page 7 for instructions.
For additional information and concepts specific to setting up an Mbox network, refer to "Appendix B.
Networking For Mbox" on page 100.
To configure network when running Mbox Director on a separate computer:
At Mac computer (running Mbox Director)...
Step 1. At Mac desktop, select System Preferences from Apple menu.
Step 2. At System Preferences window, click on Network.
Step 3. At Network window, setup Ethernet 1 port as follows:
a. Set Configure IPv4 to Manually.
b. Enter IP Address and Subnet Mask settings. These will typically be an IP Address format of 2.0.0.xxx,
where xxx is a number from 1 to 254. Observe the following guidelines:
1) IP Address must be different for every machine on the network
2) Subnet Mask must be the same for every machine on the network, and will typically be 255.0.0.0 or
255.255.0.0.
c. Click Apply button to apply network settings.
