S3 + EUCON + Yosemite

[adavisxpn]

Hello all.

First, I do understand that the s3 is not fully blessed for 10.10 yet, hence why I am posting here as opposed to speaking directly to Avid.

I have the s3 connected and configured. It's working perfectly with Pro Tools as a control surface.

The issue that I am running into is that the S3 seems to lock out the other Ethernet adapters on the Mac Pro. No matter which Ethernet port I use (onboard 1, onboard 2 or an Ethernet to thunderbolt adapter). Once the S3 is connected the other ethernet adapters show "cable unplugged". I can get the thunderbolt -> ethernet adapter to come back by unplugging it and disabling/enabling the adapter.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Have you tried using a network switch ?

I have not. The issue with using a switch is that the two other networks that this machine connects to are both static IP networks. I don't see a way to make the s3 use anything except for DHCP unless I missing something.

Unless you are suggesting that I use a switch and only put the Mac Pro and the S3 on it using DHCP? I'll give that a shot.

Update:

I tried using both a managed and unmanaged switch and no luck. It seems like now matter how I connect the S3 to the Mac Pro as soon as EUControl connects to the S3 it kills the other ethernet connections.

The work around for now is to use Thunderbolt -> Ethernet adapters for the other networks (everything but the S3). By disabling the connection, unplugging the adapter, plugging the adapter back in and then re-enabling the connection I can get the connections to come back.

Kind of a drag but I do get the the S3 is not supported on 10.10 at this time. Hopefully Avid gets an update out soon.

Update in case someone has the same issue and runs across this thread - everything has sort of magically started working correctly. I don't know if maybe it was the 20th reboot that finally did it but everything is playing nicely now, no more network issues.

The S3 seems to be a little picky about how things are booted up, how long after a complete boot you wait until starting the EUControl software, etc but so far so good.
