Subject: Re: [disklavier] Mark IV and Streaming Radio with Macintosh
Congratulations Joan!
If this worked wired, then it should work wirelessly
From the network point of view:
You will need to convert the Ethernet from wired to wireless.
This conversion is done by many devices in the market
I am not familiar with the Buffalo hardware, but it seems this is his job; in this case it is not the only choice.
I do not have a mark IV to test myself, but I understand that the wireless connection on the DKV is dedicated to a specific device and cannot be used for the standard Ethernet, so you need the extra wire (RJ45) connection for this task.
Since you are using you PC and have access to the internet I assume you already have the wireless access point and all other devices needed
Any good IT pro can help you on this (maybe yourself is the one) since is computer, not piano related.
I tried out the ethernet cable from my Mac Portable to Disklavier Mark IV directly and set
my Macintosh to "share internet" under system preferences "sharing". I was able to
successfully play my disklavier from the complementary streaming piano radio station. It
has been going all afternoon. It is great!
I will have to consider the buffalo hardware to do this wirelessly as I don't won't to dedicate
this portable Mac strictly to my Disklavier at this time (however, it is a good excuse to buy
another Mac ... ). I might even consider the subscription service it is THAT GOOD.
Gene, you info very interesting as well. But again, a dedicated device under or near the piano
is needed and I would prefer a wireless solution.
Joan
