Default Dock only after restart

After launching PT Ultimate 2018.12 most of the time the Dock is not activated. After restarting in EU Control software the Dock is available. I'm on 18.3..0.244
Any suggestion how the get it more stable?

Default Re: Dock only after restart

Are you on a mac? With one or 2 ethernet ports?

What network (s) are you using? 5 GHz ?

Thanks!

You've probably already done this, but, if you look in the Apple Sys Prefs, under Eucon, what is it showing under the "Network Interface" dropdown? Are there multiple "Ethernet 1, 2, 3..." ? Is it showing "Ethernet 1" ? (not wi-fi)

(I'm not sure how this will work with multiple Ethernet ports on your displays- ours is connected to Ethernet 1 on our mac pro... it gave me all kinds of trouble when it was plugged into Ethernet 2)

Default Re: Dock only after restart

There are the options: Ethernet1 , Ethernet2, Monitor-Ethernet.
It was put on Ethernet1, any suggestions?

The problem is that the EU Control Settings don't find the Dock directly after powering the unit. So i have to manually restart the EU Applications before launching Pro Tools. From then it works solid.

My issue was resolved when I chose "Ethernet 1" & was physically plugged into the Ethernet 1 port on the mac pro. (see below)

It's a shot in the dark, but try "monitor-Ethernet" ?? instead of Ethernet 1.
(not sure if "monitor" in this case is the label for the video monitor ethernet port that you're plugged into?)
Worse that happens is you have to change it back.


Otherwise, I'd try plugging your Ethernet cable from the Dock into Ethernet Port 1 on the Mac Pro (Left side port) & insuring you're still on "Ethernet 1" in Apple Eucon Sys Prefs. Plug your inet into Ethernet 2 (Right side port) and then use the display's Ethernet ports for any other network connections.

Yep, I totally get it ... had the same issue for quite a while.

Worst case scenario- contact Avid TS ... but only if you have a support plan.

Let me know if you get anywhere ... here's hopin'!
