Connecting Directly to the
VENUE System
When connecting directly to your VENUE sys-
tem (or if you are using an Ethernet router with-
out DHCP server functions) you must manually
set the IP addresses of the VENUE system and
the Pro Tools computer.
To connect a VENUE system to a Pro Tools
system:
1 Do either of the following:
• Connect an appropriate Ethernet cable type
(with RJ-45 connectors) from the ECx port
on your VENUE system to the Ethernet port
on your computer.

• If you are using a router, connect your
VENUE system (using the ECx port) and
the Pro Tools computer to the router with
the appropriate Ethernet cables (with RJ-45
connectors).
The type of Ethernet cable depends on the oper-
ating system of the remote computer:
Windows To connect a Windows computer di-
rectly to your VENUE system, an Ethernet cross-
over cable is required. Alternatively, you can use
an Ethernet hub and connect standard Ethernet
cables between your VENUE system, the hub
and the remote computer.
Mac To connect a Mac computer directly to your
VENUE system, you can use either a standard
Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable.
