SETTINGS view
The SETTINGS view allows access to all of the global configuration parameters (see at page 10). Four tabs are
available, on the left column.
NETWORK
Two sections are accessible
from the NETWORK view: on
the left side, for the wired
LAN port; on the right side,
for the internal Wireless LAN
Access Point.
LAN Settings: all network-related adjustments can be made, such as IP Address, Netmask, Gateway and DNS. These
settings are usually left at the factory values, but they can be modified for special uses. Standard usage of the M18
Digital Mixer does not require the LAN port.
WLAN Settings: all WiFi-related adjustments can be made, mostly like a standard WiFi Access Point. The parameters are
described in detail here:
SSID
You can modify the factory setting to provide a name you c
an remember. The factory name is in the form M18
-
XXXXXX where the latter are a combination of letters and numbers.
Country
By selecting the appropriate country where you are operating the mixer, you can comply with local radio
regulations. Please notice that if you leave to the default value NONE, transmitting power is limited and you will
not obtain the best performance from the M 18 Digital Mixer, including maximum distance and robustness to
interference
Band
You can select between the usual 2.4 GHz
band and the less crowded 5 GHz band, depending on your tablet
capabilities
Channel
You can minimize interference from other Access Points by selecting a channel not being used by others. There
are several scanning software applications that enable you to view which channels are available.
Security
You can either keep the Access Point open, or enable WiFi security (WPA2/PSK). In this case, you will be able to
modify the default password.
After you perform all changes to either LAN of WLAN parameters, you must press SEND to modify these settings into
the mixer. A reboot will be required to make these changes effective.
If you enable Advanced Settings, then you can switch between the internal and external antennas. This change is
immediate and does not require a reboot.
The Reboot button is intended for advanced applications, and should be avoided in normal usage.
