DAW Ethernet Connection (PC)
You can use standard Cat-5e Ethernet cable to connect Control
2802 to your studio DAW computer. The interface in Control
2802 is compatible whether you use a straight through or
cross-over cable.
Please ensure that you have downloaded and installed the
latest version of our Control 2802.msi application from
www.focusrite.com.
On PC computers please ensure that Focusrite Control 2802
software is installed using the provided .msi package. The
program will be added to your local system drive (C:) and a
folder will be created under:
C:\ Program Files \ Focusrite
You can enable the application to always boot upon user log-in
using the Windows Start Up folder in XP. To do this create a new
shortcut by right clicking on the application icon and selecting
‘Create Shortcut’.
Drag and drop this shortcut into the following location:
C:\ Documents and Settings \ All Users \ Start Menu \
Programs \ Startup
Networking (PC)
Once you have connected Control 2802 to your studio
computer via either a direct Ethernet link or through a router
and installed the software you are ready to set up the networking
side of the console.
Until your console is connected (or any other LAN device to
your PC), the LAN status indicated in Control Panel > Network
Connections will be unplugged.
