Network Settings

The OBS+ is set up with its own LAN (Local Area Network), consisting of the two Mac Minis and the camera. The Mac Mini IP addresses are set up to be in the same IP “neighborhood” as the camera, so they will all talk to each other, like good neighbors should. 🙂

The default IP address for the camera is 192.168.100.99

The OBS+ Recording Mac Mini should be set up as follows:

Configure IPv4: Manually

IP Address: 192.168.100.100

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Router: 192.168.100.1

The Presentation Mac Mini should be set up as follows:

 

 

Adding Wi-Fi

 

In the Network settings left-hand column, you will see both your ethernet and Wi-Fi connections. Click the Turn Wi-Fi On button.

When the Wi-Fi is on, the connection will turn green in the left-hand column.

Go to the bottom of the column, click the gear icon, and select “Set Service Order”.

In the following window, you will be able to drag the Wi-Fi connection above the Ethernet connection. Hit OK, then Apply in the lower right corner.

In the left hand column of the Network settings, your Wi-Fi connection should now be listed above the ethernet connection.

 

Hardwiring To Your Local Network

 

It’s much more complicated, but if Wi-Fi is not a good option, you can connect the One Button Studio to your existing network by running an ethernet cable from the wall to the rack-mounted switch in the cabinet. However, before you do that, you will want to check with your network administrator to obtain three available IP addresses. You’ll use them for the two Mac Minis, and for the camera.
