Re: Apple Airport Express + DSP
My apologies for the delay in replying, been on the road for the past couple days, this is my first opportunity to respond. I do have my AE with me, but I don't have a UX8800 in front of me, and it's been a while since I've used one, but from memory here's what I think I did to make it work:
1. Set an appropriate IP addresses in the AE. Configuring the AE manually, under the Internet Tab-->TCP/IP I usually set my Airport Express to work well with my home network setup, AE IP address of 192.168.1.2, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, router address of 192.168.1.1. For Internet tab__>Internet Connection settings I have it set for "Connect Using Ethernet" and for "Connection Sharing" I have it set to "Distribute a range of IP addresses".
2. In the UX8800, I manually set the IP address of the unit, it's important to stay in the same subnet as the AE. So typically for hardware I connect to, I start with 192.168.1.11 or 192.168.1.101 and go up incrementally from there. Subnet mask always 255.255.255.0.
Unless you have a small auto MDX ethernet switch in the rack, you should carry an ethernet crossover cable and likely use it for this connection.
If you're still having trouble, I'll see if I can get my hands on a UX8800 when I get back home. Hope this helps.
Cheers!
