Disklavier

Hi all --

I was going along fine with my MK IV accessing the internet.  Then something happened . . .

Now, every time I try to access the internet off my PRC I get the error message "Incorrect IP Address, check cables, router, etc."  I haven't changed anything, so I am trying to do a fresh setup and have been unsuccessful.

My PRC is plugged into an Apple Airport Express (small, cigarette box sized unit) via an Ethernet cable plugged in directly to the MK IV control unit under the piano.  The Airport Express is set up using Airport Utility to EXTEND the existing home network.

Can anyone with a working setup similar to this tell me what your settings are for: (1) the Airport Express unit (e.g., DHCP) and (2) the PRC network settings (e.g., do I have to name a second network in the PRC or is "LAN-TCP/IP" sufficient)?  My OSX is Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

Thanks .. Steve

I wrote a step by step setup for the is on my blog page

Ok I must say I am not too techie.  But I have your setup on my Disklavier 850 on a C3 (I think) acoustic piano.  MAC is using Snow Leopard.  First of all, I DON'T think I used an EXTEND Network concept at all. I have ONLY one Network:  (2Wire)   I used a JOIN EXISTING NETWORK concept.  Hardware-wise I have an ATT 2Wire  MODEM / ROUTER which serves as the wireless network.
Then I have a Mac computer wirelessly connected to this Network.  I bought the Airport Express and set it up through the Mac Computer to JOIN the network.  (Apple is very helpful here)  Then, put Velcro on the Airport Express, hid it under the piano and connected the Ethernet cable from the DK 850 to the Airport Express.  Then the DK 850 found the Network and Voila I can run the piano with the iPhone app and have the DK Radio feature and my Mac sees the DK 850's files.  I also connect iPhone to it with iReal b app  via RCA plug to iPhone.  Very cool play along app.

Here is what the Express reads:
Under Summary:  
Status: Normal   Mode: Join a wireless    Network Name: 2WIRE 034   Network Wireless Security: WEP 40 bit   Channel: 1   Connect Using: Wireless Network 
IP Address    192.168.1.68    

Under Wireless:    The box Allow Ethernet Clients     --> is checked.

I don't see any of that DHCP stuff at all.  And I think it is because I am using only ONE Network.

Granny --

Your post, step-by-step, with pictures! was very helpful.

I discovered my problem.  The Wireless Mode on each of my Airport units (including the Base unit) has to be set to "Participate in WDS Network".  When you use the "Wizard" where the Airport Utility guides you through set up (pressing the "Continue" button rather than the "Manual Setup" button), even when you specify "Join Network" it does not set up remote units in "Partcipate in WDS Network."  This is easy to fix, however (I discovered).  After you use the automated approach from the Airport Utility (that is, not Manual mode to set up Express units), then revisit each unit with Airport Utility, but in MANUAL mode, then CHANGE Wireless Mode (under the WIRELESS tab) to "Participate in WDS Network."  

I think the difference between "Join" and "Participate" is that in the Join mode, you can hook up Printers to the remote unit through a USB cable, but the remote unit itself does not rebroadcast the WiFi signal to extend its range.  Participate rebroadcasts the signal.

I am using Snow Leopard, 10.6.8, and Airport Utility Version 5.5.3.

Thanks for the comments.
