Which IP ports for AVID Control?

[Magnetic]

Similar issue. Every time I launch ProTools I have to go thru this dance:

1. Turn on WiFi on the Mac
2. Wait until the Dock and Control Ap show up in My Surfaces
3. Remove both, and wait until they show up *available* in All Surfaces
4. Turn off WiFi on the Mac
5. Add both to MySurfaces

After than, everything works. I'm not running a VLAN.

A few questions.

1. Do you really mean every time you launch Pro Tools...or is this when you start the Mac ?
2. How is the iPad connecting to your network...directly to the Mac or to a Router (or even the camera kit cable?)
3. How is the Dock connecting to the network?
4. Is EuControl set to auto launch?

[Magnetic]

1. Yes
2. WiFi (same router/same subnet as iMac)
3. Ethernet cable to switch->router in #2 above
4. Yes

Can you try as a test turning of EuControl Auto Launch? and doing it manually.

[Magnetic]

No difference

[EddieJones]

have you tried connecting the imac via ethernet to the router (and not use WiFi)

[Magnetic]

The iMac _is_ connected to the router via ethernet. The only time I turn on Wi-Fi is to get eControl to connect. Once that's successful, I turn Wi-Fi back off.

[EddieJones]

Turning Wifi on or off whilst EuControl is running i known to cause issues, could it be that ?

[Magnetic]

Well, turning on Wi-Fi temporarily is the only way I can get EuControl to see AVID Control, hence the problem. Is there some preference to reset EuControl's network stack?

[EddieJones]

Maybe run the installer and select remove all apps and remove all prefs. Reboot and then install EuControl with Wifi Off.
