Mac Client TCP/IP Procedure

The Mac client for Brisque can connect a Brisque via both TCP/IP and Apple Events protocols. TCP/IP is highly recommended.
This document aim is to help to configure a TCP/IP connection between a Mac and a Brisque station.
The document is built of two parts: Mac configuring and Brisque configuring.
The Mac part is part of the Mac OS help. The Brisque part is part of the Brisque manual.

Network Configuration on the Mac

We recommend you first try using the online Mac OS Help from the Main Menu. From the Index menu, select <TCP/IP>. The online help will interactively guide you through the TCP/IP Configuration procedure. If, for some reason, you are unable to use the online Mac OS, follow the instructions below:

1. From the Apple menu, select Control Panels.
2. Double click the TCP/IP Control Panel; the TCP/IP Control Panel appears.
3. From the Connect Via pop-up menu, select the connection which your computer uses to communicate with the network.
4. If your Ethernet network uses the 802.3 standard (i.e. if it supports the Sub Network Access Protocol (SNAP)), click the Use 802.3 checkbox.
5. From the Configure pop-up menu, select a Configuration Method for the TCP/IP Configuration.

   If your network uses one of the listed types of server methods, select it from the list. If you already know your IP Address, select Manually, then in theIP Address field type in the IP Address (if you do not know your IP Address, contact your network administrator).

6. In the Subnet Mask field, type your subnet mask. If you do not know your subnet mask, contact your network administrator.
7. If you know the network address of your router, then in the Router field, type in the address. If you do not know the address, you can leave this field blank.
8. If you know the address of the name server you want to use, in the Server Address field, type in the address.
9. If you know of any domains that you want the TCP/IP to search when attempting to find a network address, in the Search Domains field, type in the names. If you do not know any domain names, you can leave this field blank.

To check the connectivity to the Brisque or any other Mac on the network, use MacPing or any other TCP utility.
