Appendix: How to Set Up IP Address
Without ESP/EX-1280C, Analog Input to MSA12X, No Router
MSA12X is a Dante device. Even if you do not use Dante connection for sending audio signal, the beam
configuration setup is performed through Dante Network, and you have to setup IP of PC and MSA12X.
1. Connect PC and all the devices to the network.
2. Set IP of PC to DHCP. At this point, you may not be able to see MSA12X in CSD, since Project Network
Address is still 192.168.0.xxx.
3. Launch Dante Controller.
a. Make sure all the Dante Devices (incl. MSA12X arrays) appear.
b. At this point, all the Dante Devices should be
i. IP: 169.254.xxx.xxx
ii. Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
4. Change IP of all the Dante devices to static:
i. IP: 192.168.0.xxx (e.g. 101, 102, …)
ii. Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Each time you change the IP, that Dante device may disappear in the Dante Controller, or even if it can be
seen, you may not be able to assign Dante subscriptions. This is OK.
