MOTU AVB Control Web App
OVERVIEW
MOTU AVB Control
is a web app that gives you
complete control over your MOTU audio interface.
If you have several MOTU AVB interfaces
networked together, such as the 1248 and 8M, you
can control them all. If you are working with a
large-scale network of many MOTU AVB
interfaces, you can access and control any device
on the network.
IT’S NOT ON YOUR HARD DRIVE
The MOTU AVB Control web app is served from
the audio interface hardware itself, therefore it is
not an application on your computer’s hard drive.
Instead, access it by using the MOTU AVB
Discovery Application, or through your web
browser by typing your MOTU device’s IP Address
into the address bar.
USE YOUR FAVORITE WEB BROWSER
The MOTU AVB Control web app runs in any
modern web browser on any device connected to
your MOTU interface, either directly or wirelessly
through a WiFi network. You can use any device
you wish: a desktop computer, laptop, iPad, tablet,
iPhone or smart phone. If it can run a web browser,
it can run the web app. You can use any browser
you prefer: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE 11 etc. The
latest versions are strongly recommended.
CONTROL FROM MULTIPLE DEVICES
You can run the web app on multiple host devices
simultaneously.
RUN THE INSTALLER, GET THE APP
Visit www.motu.com/avb to get the latest MOTU
AVB installer and run it on your computer to install
the
MOTU AVB Discovery
app and drivers. Visit the
Apple App Store to download the discovery app
onto your iPad or iPhone.
MAKE HARDWARE AND NETWORK
CONNECTIONS
Connect your MOTU interface to your computer
or laptop with a Thunderbolt or USB cable. Make
sure your iPad, iPhone, tablet or smartphone is
connected to the same WiFi network as your
computer or device. You can use any network
connection scenario explained in “Setup for web
app control” on page 40.
LAUNCHING THE WEB APP
To launch the web app, do any of the following:
■
From your computer, choose your MOTU
interface from the MOTU AVB Discovery app
menu, as shown below. If you have multiple
interfaces, choose the one you want.
■
From your iPad or iPhone, launch the MOTU
AVB Discovery app.
■
From any web browser on any host (computer,
tablet, etc.), type in the IP address or .localname of
your MOTU AVB interface. See below for how to
obtain the IP address.
You should now see the MOTU AVB Control web
app in your browser, as shown on page 18. If not
visit Appendix A, “Troubleshooting” page (83).
Obtaining your MOTU device’s IP address
On the front panel of the interface, push the ID
knob or button once. The LCD now displays the
unit’s IP address, which should look something like
this:
“IP Address: 192.168.1.209”.
