Preparation Mixer network settings 1. Use a CAT5 cable to connect the mixer network port and the Wi-Fi access point. Older access points that do not support AUTO-MDI/MDI-X require that you connect the console using a crossover cable. For access points that support AUTO-MDI/MDI-X (most do today), you can use either a straight cable or a crossover cable. 2. Check that an Ethernet cable connects to the LAN port of your Wi-Fi device.
3. Tap the Wi-Fi access point you wish to connect to from the list of available Wi-Fi access points. 4. Enter the password if asked. 5. For iOS users, tap the [Information] button for the Wi‑Fi access point. For Android users, tap the [Advanced options] button on the password entry screen. MonitorMix V2.
6. Select [DHCP] or [Static] (static IP address). Configure the following settings when selecting Static. IP Address Enter an IP address that only changes the fourth octet of the IP address of the mixer.
