Setting the Computer IP Address
Make sure your Pro Tools computer is set so it obtains an IP ad-
dress automatically using DHCP.
To automatically set the IP address on your Mac:
1 Launch System Preferences > Network.
2 Do one of the following:
• If you connected from a Network port on the S3 control sur-
face to an Ethernet port on the computer, choose
Ethernet
from the network connections services list.
• If you connected from a Network port on the S3 control sur-
face to a Thunderbolt port on the computer, choose
Thun-
derbolt Ethernet
from the list.
3 Choose Using DHCP from the Configure menu. An IP address
is automatically assigned to the computer.
4 Click Apply.
Enabling VENUE Link in Pro Tools
To enable VENUE Link in Pro Tools:
1 Launch Pro Tools if it is not already launched. If the Quick
Start dialog appears, click
Cancel.
2 Choose Setup > Peripherals to open the Peripherals dialog,
then click the
VENUE tab.
3 In the System Name box, enter a name for your Pro Tools sys-
tem.
4 Choose your S3L system from the VENUE System pop-up
menu. When a connection is established, “connected” is dis-
played next to the name of the connected VENUE system.
5 On the VENUE tab of the Peripherals dialog, confirm that
your VENUE and Pro Tools systems share the same TCP/UDP
port setting.
Troubleshooting VENUE Link Connections
If you cannot establish VENUE Link between systems, try either
or both of the following:
 In Pro Tools, choose Setup > Peripherals > VENUE, and enter
a new number between 1024–65535 (except 5900) into the
TCP/UDP Port field. In VENUE, go to the Options > Interaction
page, click the
VENUE Link Settings button, then enter the same
number in the
TCP/UDP Port field there.
 In Pro Tools, choose Setup > Peripherals > VENUE. Make sure
the IP address in the
Interface pop-up under Advanced Network
Settings matches the IP address as shown in the
IP Address field
for the VENUE Link connection on the System Preferences >
Network page of your computer. If it does not match, click the
In-
terface
pop-up and choose that IP address.
