About ViewNet MX
ViewNet MX is a graphical interface network created by TimeLine for the TASCAM MX-2424. It
provides a graphical interface application which runs on personal computers using the Apple Macintosh
or Microsoft Windows (98/NT), operating systems. This interface provides for viewing and editing of
audio tracks loaded on the TASCAM MX-2424 and also provides access to all machine and system setup
parameters.
ViewNet MX works via a 100 Mbps (Megabit per second) Fast Ethernet connection linking the MX-
2424 and the 100Mbit Ethernet interface port of computers on the network running the ViewNet MX
application.
Steps to Complete ViewNet Setup
Complete the following steps, explained in detail in this chapter, to operate ViewNet MX.
1) Set the IP address, IP Net Mask, and IP Gateway settings for MX-2424 machines.
2) Install the ViewNet MX application in the computer(s) that will be on the network.
3) Set up TCP/IP settings on all computers running the ViewNet MX application.
4) Connect the MX-2424(s) and Computer(s) using cat 5 UTP Ethernet cable and Fast Ethernet hubs, as
appropriate. See Chapter 2, Setting Up The Network, for more information on Ethernet cables and
connections, including hubs, switches, and routers.
Network Configuration for the MX-2424
Before the ViewNet MX application can work with a TASCAM MX-2424, the proper network settings
must be configured on the MX-2424. Once the network settings have been configured, the MX-2424
must be rebooted before these settings will take effect. There are three Setup Menu items on the MX-
2424 related to ViewNet network configuration.
IP Address
The IP (Internet Protocol) address for each machine must be entered manually at the front panel of the
MX-2424 before that machine can be seen by the network and appear as a machine to the ViewNet MX
software application. To set the IP address, press Setup on the front panel of the MX-2424, and use the
wheel or arrows to move to Setup menu 950.
