Chapter 2: Software Configuration 5

chapter 2

Software Configuration

Before you proceed, make sure you have completed the following:

• Installed Pro Tools or Pro Tools HD version 9 or higher

• Installed the current version of EUCON Workstation software (provided with the eMix

application) onto the Pro Tools workstation

• Confirmed the installation of your System 5 hardware and eMix v5.0. or higher

• Confirmed that your other DAWs (such as Nuendo) are updated to the correct versions

Rename the Pro Tools Workstation

Before proceeding, it is highly recommended that you give each workstation a unique name. This is

recommended to avoid confusion when attaching workstations to the System 5, and to be able to

more easily identify exactly which workstation is or is not attached to the system.

Mac On Mac, you rename the workstation by editing the “hostconfig” file in the “etc” folder (which

is a hidden folder). See “To rename a Mac workstation:” on page 5.

Windows On Windows, you can rename the workstation in the Properties window for your computer.

See “To rename a Windows 7 workstation:” on page 6.

To rename a Mac workstation:

1 From the Finder, choose Go > Go To Folder (or press Command + Shift + G on your computer key-

board).

2 Type /Etc/ (slash, Etc, slash).

3 Click Go (or press Enter). The etc folder appears.

4 In the etc folder, find hostconfig and drag it to your desktop.

5 From the desktop, double-click on hostconfig.

6 Add the following line at the bottom of the list, or modify the entry if it already exists:

HOSTNAME=my_name_here (where “my_name_here” is the desired name for the workstation)

System 5 and Pro Tools Guide6

7 Save the file and drag it back to the etc folder, replacing the original.

8 When you reboot, the new name will appear. This is the name you will see within System 5 when

you attach the workstation.

To rename a Windows 7 workstation:

1 Go to Start > Computer.

2 Right-click on Computer and choose Properties.

3 In the section Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings, click Change Settings.

4 Make sure the tab Computer Name is selected; if it is not, click the tab Computer Name.

5 Click Change in the section To rename this computer or change its domain or workgroup.

6 Enter a new name for the workstation into the Computer name field.

7 Click OK.

Startup Sequence

To start up System 5 and Pro Tools:

1 With all system components turned off, turn on the Ethernet switch and allow it to complete its

startup diagnostics.

2 Turn on the SC264 System Computer and all I/O units.

3 Double-click the eMix icon on the desktop.

4 Turn on all Surface Modules, the CO600 Changeover Switch (if present), and the DF66(s) or DF70.

5 Do one of the following, as appropriate:

• If system modules have been saved as default, eMix continues to boot when all modules reach

100%. If no modules appear as Unexpected, click Continue to finish booting eMix. The startup se-

quence is now complete.

• If any modules appear as Unexpected, go to “Resolving Unexpected Modules” on page 7.

On Hybrid systems’ SC264, confirm that EUCON Discovery is set to use the second LAN connection

and that it is not on the System 5 connection.
