Settings - Make Controller

First of all, you should turn off DHCP since there won't be a router to give out any addresses.  Do this by sending the OSC message /network/dhcp 0.  If you leave DHCP on, it should still work as the board will eventually use its manual address but you can save it a little searching around by simply turning it off.

The address you give your board will depend on the address you gave your computer.  Make sure to give your board an address that has the same first 3 numbers as the address for your computer, and select a 4th number that is different from the address for your computer.

For example, if you gave your computer an address of 192.168.3.211, an address of 192.168.3.212 would work just fine for the board.  If your computer's address is 192.168.35.210, an address of 192.168.35.211 would work fine - and so on.

You can change the board's address via OSC from mchelper. For more info on mchelper, check out the Getting Started section. There are just 2 OSC messages to send to the board:

1. /network/address 192.168.5.200 - change the IP address. Make sure you give the board a different IP address than you gave your computer!
2. /network/gateway 192.168.5.1 - change the gateway.

The addresses used for the address and the gateway in this example assume we're setting up for communication in the 192.168.5.xxx address space - the value 5 is arbitrary, but just make sure that it's different than the value of any other subnet being used on your local network, and that it matches the value you've used for your PC settings.
