TASCAM X-48MKII
Networking
The X-48MKII can be connected to a computer using
the fast Gigabit Ethernet connection. You need an
Ethernet crossover cable to connect your computer to the
X-48MKII, unless you know that your computer’s Ethernet
connector is “auto-sensing” (such as most modern Apple
computers). Once the ethernet cable is connected, you
need to configure both the X-48MKII and your PC for
networking.
To configure the X-48MKII for networking:
Mouse/Keyboard Operation
1 View the Settings window, System tab.
2 Press the Configure button.
3 Select Use the following IP address.
4 Set IP address to be 192.168.1.1. If this address is
already in use by your router, choose a different
number for the last digit.
5 Set Subnet mask to be 255.255.255.0.
6 Leave the Default gateway blank.
7 Use the following DNS server addresses should be
selected already.
8 Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server should be
blank.
9 Press OK.
10 Begin sharing the X-48MKII’s hard drive by
selecting Drive Sharing... from the File menu.
To configure your Windows XP computer for networking
to the X-48MKII:
NOTE
Before starting the following procedures, you must launch
the Windows file manager from the X-48 Disk Management
menu, and enable sharing of the relevant folder (right
click the relevant folder, select the Properties menu item
and open the Sharing tab to make this setting).
1 Select Start->Control Panel->Network Connections.
2 You should see a list of network connections, with
one called Local Area Connection.
3 Right-click on Local Area Connection and select
Properties.
4 Click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) so that it is
highlighted. (Its check box must remain checked.)
5 Press the Properties button.
6 Select Use the following IP address.
7 Set IP address to 192.168.1.2. (Note: This is different
from the X-48MKII’s IP address.) If this IP address
is already in use on your network, pick a different
number for the last digit.
8 Set Subnet mask to be 255.255.255.0.
9 Leave the Default gateway blank.
10 Use the following DNS server addresses should be already
selected.
11 Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server should be
blank. Press OK.
12 Close the Local Area Connection Properties window.
13 Select Start->My Network Places.
14 On the left side of the My Network Places window is a
list of Network Tasks.
15 Select View workgroup computers. If this left side
display is not visible, enable it by going to Tools >
Folder Options > General tab and click Show common
tasks in folders. Alternatively, you could double click
Entire Network then Microsoft Windows Network to see
the available workgroups. Inside the workgroup
named Workgroup will be the X-48MKII. If your
computer and X-48MKII workgroup names are
different, navigate one level up to see all the
workgroups present on the network and look
inside WORKGROUP to find the X-48MKII.
Your X-48MKII will show up similar to this: “X48-
uo0t97er5vk”. (It is possible that you may need to wait a
minute or so for the X-48MKII to show up in this list.)
NOTE
Note that the X-48MKII’s workgroup name is fixed as
WORKGROUP. Your PC’s network name may not be
WORKGROUP. For example, Windows XP Home has a
default network name of MSHOME. To find the workgroup
name of your computer go to Control Panels > System >
Computer Name tab.
16 Double click on the icon that represents the
connected X-48MKII.
17 You should be prompted to enter a user name and
password.
18 The user name is “administrator” and the password is
“admin”.
19 Now when you double click on the icon, you should
be able to see the X-48MKII’s internal hard drive. It
is called “X48 Data Drive”.
20 Double-click on X48 Data Drive to see its contents.
21 Look in the XProjects directory for projects.
To configure your Mac OS X computer for networking to
the X-48MKII:
1 Click on System Preferences... under the Apple menu
and choose Network.
2 (Optional:) You may want to make a new Location
under the Location pull-down menu.
3 Double-click on Built-In Ethernet.
4 Click the Configure IPv4 pull-down menu and choose
Manually.
5 Set IP Address to 192.168.1.2. (Note: This is different
from the X-48MKII’s IP address.) If this IP address
is already in use on your network, pick a different
number for the last digit.
