Congo Client mit Parallels

Noch was -

 hast du ein Client Dongle schon? - die sind nur für PC-Laptops... (leider nicht für Macs) geeignet.

 Um ein Client zum nutzen brauchst du so ein Dongle und auch ein PC Laptop.

Der Mac Software is nur für Offline betrieb geeignet, und wir haben bis jetzt nicht

die möglichkeit um andere modes zum testen.

Hat jemand anders vielleicht hiermit erfahrungen gehabt?  

Unfortunately my German typing is non-existent - maybe Corey can translate?

You have an Intel Mac, and you'd like to run Congo Client to remotely control your Congo Console.

To do this, you'll need a few things:

1. A Congo Client USB dongle. At the moment, ETC are sending these out as a free gift to say thanks for registering your Congo with us.
• Without this dongle, the Congo software will only run in Offline mode, for pre-programming/editing of shows.
2. Your Mac will need to be running Windows XP, either using BootCamp or Parallels.
• Boot Camp is generally more reliable, as Windows XP gets full control of the computer hardware.

Congo Client is not officially supported under Parallels, but it will probably work. However, you have to manually give control of the Client Dongle to Windows, as otherwise Mac OSX takes it and doesn't let Windows see it.

You will need to start Windows under Parallels, insert the Client Dongle and then in the Parallels device menu select the "HASP" dongle and give it to Windows.

After doing that, you should see Windows XP detect the HASP dongle and install it/ask for drivers. If it asks for drivers, then connect to the internet and let it download them.

Once Windows reports that the HASP dongle is ready to use, reconnect to the lighting network, start Congo, match Network IDs and enjoy!

Hey,

so i have the HASP dongle installed, and everthing is fine, but i can´t connect to the congo via network with the AirPort adapter. my macbook has the IP xxx.xxx.xxx.53   and the virtual machine (windows) xxx.xxx.xxx.49   so i can Ping the .53 from the congo, but not the .49 adress.

Hope you understand.

Thanks 

That's definitely a network interface configuration problem.

Can you connect to the Internet through the AirPort when running Windows under Parallels?

If that works, then check your Windows network settings. If that doesn't work, then check your Parallels network settings.

The laptop should have an IP address in the 10.101.1.x IP address range for computers, where X is between 101 and 254.
Subnet Mask must be 255.255.0.0, and the Gateway IP should be the same as your computer's IP.

You'll also need to disable the Windows XP firewall. 

You may have to disable the AirPort for Mac OSX, with it only accessible for Windows inside Parallels, although I'm not certain of that.
