I thought this might be useful to others who are implementing various flavors of networking on gigs.
The hardware we're using that is networked:
1.) Yamaha LS9
2.) Sennheiser Net1's (2 of them daisy-chained together with Cat5)
3.) Netbook
4.) iPad
5.) Linksys E2000 Router
Our software components:
1.) Sennheiser WSM
2.) Sends On Fader
3.) RealVNC (Server on Notebook, Viewer on iPad)
4.) Yamaha DME Network Driver, Studio Manager, LS9 Editor
Implementation steps:
Hard Code IP for Net-1 Units, Yamaha LS9, and notebook PC - Static IP’s for wired interfaces only
01.) Configure router to use 30 DHCP addresses (100-129), assign SSID with security
02.) Assign wired IP addresses in range above DHCP pool: 192.168.1.130-144
a.) NET1-1 is 192.168.1.130
b.) NET1-2 is 192.168.1.131
c.) Notebook (Primary) is 192.168.1.132
d.) Notebook (Backup) is 192.168.1.133
e.) Yamaha LS9-32 is 192.168.1.135
03.) Install Yamaha DME Network Driver, Studio Manager, LS9 Editor, & Sends On Fader on notebook
a.) Install the Yamaha products in that order following all documented steps.
04.) Install RealVNC Server on ASUS Notebook
05.) Download RealVNC Viewer for iPad
06.) Set Static IP addresses for Sennheiser Net1’s using Web interface then power cycle
07.) Set both ASUS IP addresses for the wired interface (Adapter Properties)
09.) Connect Daisy-Chained NET1’s to router (IP: 192.168.1.130 & 131)
10.) Connect Netbook to router (IP: 192.168.1.132)
11.) Connect Yamaha LS9 to router (IP: 192.168.1.135)
12.) Ensure that you can connect to the Net1's with WSM
13.) Start RealVNC Server on notebook
14.) Start Sends On Fader on notebook and click connect – Ensure that things works correctly locally
15.) Using the iPad, connect to the SSID that the router is broadcasting using the assigned security
16.) Start RealVNC Viewer on the iPad and connect to the wired IP for the notebook (192.168.1.132)
17.) To click & drag using the RealVNC Viewer on iPad double-click with the stylus then drag.
