incorporating a wireless network router
that gives access to the mixer in three
diff erent ways–via Ethernet LAN, or
wirelessly as a Wifi Client or as an Access
Point. Selection is made with the REMOTE
switch [9]. You may view or change the
network preferences for these on any of
the MR18 remote control applications on
the "Setup/Network" page.
IP Address and DHCP
Depending on the connection scenario, the
MR18 off ers up to 3 options for connecting
a tablet or PC for software control – DHCP
Client, DHCP Server, and fi xed IP operation.
Connection is achieved diff erently
depending on which option you choose:
DHCP Client mode is available in Ethernet
LAN or Wifi Client operation. The mixer will
automatically request an IP lease from the
DHCP server that owns the IP addresses
in the network to which you are trying
to connect.
DHCP Server (DHCPS) is optionally
available for Ethernet LAN connections
and is standard in Access Point operation.
The mixer will own the IP addresses and
provide IP leases to devices requesting
access to that network. The mixer will
always use IP address 192.168.1.1 and
assign IP addresses 192.168.1.101 –
192.168.1.132 to its clients.
Static IP is available for Ethernet LAN
and Wifi Client operation. The mixer will
use the fi xed (static) IP address, subnet
mask and gateway that you specify for
registering on the network. Make sure that
the addresses you specify manually are
not confl icting with any other addresses
on the same network. We generally
recommend using the DHCP mode, unless
you have a very specifi c reason to set
it up manually.
Note: Changing parameters of the
currently selected connection mode will
disconnect the software from the console.
If the console is erroneously confi gured for
a fi xed IP address that is incompatible with
the network it is connected to, the console
will be inaccessible. In this case, one of the
other two connection modes can be used
to regain access and amend the settings.
If that does not work, hold the Reset
button for 2 seconds to return to default
network settings.

Ethernet/LAN
This mode supports DHCP Client (default),
DHCP Server, and fi xed IP operation.
Note that if the MR18 is connected to
a network where no DHCP server is
present, the mixer will generate an
automatic IP address (range 169.254.1.0 –
169.254.254.255). There are no security
options for LAN connections, so any
device in that network may take
control of connected MR18 consoles.
When connecting via LAN/Ethernet to a
Wifi router, make sure the security settings
of that router prevent unauthorized access.
