connect control 24 to my MAC

[cookie]

Hello,

I have a simple question.
What can I do to connect a control 24 to my mac ?
Is it "fire wire" connection ?
I mus have an other digidesign card ?

Thanks for your help

You mean, you bought a Control 24 with no Digidesign hardware?

A simple answer:
Ethernet.

The Control 24 can directly connect to your Mac via a crossover ethernet patch cable from the C24's ethernet port to your Mac's ethernet port. Or, your C24 and your Mac can communicate on a LAN (Local Area Network) via an ethernet switch. Both your C24 and Mac would connect directly, via straight thru ethernet patch cable, to your ethernet switch. Then in Pro Tools under Setups/Peripherals/Ethernet Controllers you would check the Enable check box and Pro Tools will scan for your Mac's ethernet port.
Once PT finds your ethernet port, under Name Unit(s), use the #1 spot and select CNTL24 and click on OK. Your C24 should now be talking to your Mac.
Hope this helps,
