Connecting 6500 to Maestro & Computer

edited February 2019 in FLEX-6000 Signature Series
I just unpacked the Maestro and 6500, connected then with the CAT-5 and connected the MIC, phones, and key directly to my 6500.  It all works great.  The problem is that the only CAT-5 connection on the 6500 is no longer available for connecting to my computer for N1MM+ access and keying.  Is there a way to connect the 6500 directly to both without adding a hub (use the USB ports???).

    Not that I know of. Just add a n Ethernet switch. It's no big deal.

    Exactly, use a switch. You will want to have a DHCP server in the network reserving addresses for each unit, or manually assign IP addresses, though. Makes life easier.

    Thanks guys.  That's what I thought, although I held out hope that the USB ports on the rig might work too or that the wireless LAN-connected computer could talk to the 6500 through the wireless Lan-connected Maestro.  I'll buy a switch and assign the 6500 an IP number.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
