7. Direct network configuration (Macintosh)

Please note that currently OS X does not allow two ports to be used for IP traffic. As such, the connection to your

main network will not be available while the AWS is connected.

To simplify the process of switching between networks, it is recommended that you create a new network Location

for the AWS900 in network preferences. Another Location ('Internet', for example) could be created to enable

connection to the internet. This would use the network settings provided by your Internet Service Provider or

network administrator. You can easily switch between network Locations by going to the Apple Menu and scrolling

down to Location.

Using an RJ45 cable, make a direct network connection between the network port on your AWS to a network port

on your workstation computer and check that the IP address is set to FIXED in the console's SSL/MISC/NET menu.

Open System Preferences and click on Network. Create a new location by clicking where it says Location, scroll

down to Edit Locations and click the '+' sign. Name the new location AWS900.
