Hint: You might see your iPad listed in the directory panel automatically. It is best to
add your iPad to rtpMIDI, manually, however. MIDI communication only occurs when
the iPad app is open. Adding the iPad manually will succeed even when the app isn’t
running.
It is recommended that your iPad be configured with a static IP address. You can do
this either by i) setting up a static IP in the iPad’s network settings or ii) configuring
the router to reserve an IP address for the device in the DHCP settings. Making
these changes is not in the scope of this document, check your networking gear to
see which option can work for you.
For now, let just setup the system using the current IP of your iPad. (You can use it
this way, but you will need to go through these steps each time your power up your
equipment since a new IP address may be assigned to the iPad on startup. Manually
configuring for a static IP will avoid having to do this.)
7. To find the iPad’s IP address, open the Settings application (Figure 406).
8. On the left side of the settings panel you will see Wi-Fi settings – tap here to
select it.
