MOTU Pro Audio Control Web App
OVERVIEW
MOTU Pro Audio Control is a web app that gives
you complete control over the 8A. If you have
several MOTU AVB interfaces networked together,
such as the 8A, 1248 and 8M, you can control them
all. If you are working with a large network of many
MOTU AVB interfaces, you can access any device
on the network.
IT’S NOT ON YOUR HARD DRIVE
The MOTU Pro Audio Control web app is served
from the 8A hardware itself, therefore it is not an
application on your computer’s hard drive. Instead,
access it from the MOTU Discovery app (in the Mac
menu bar or Windows taskbar), the MOTU Pro
Audio WebUI Setup shortcut (Windows only) or
through your web browser.
USE YOUR FAVORITE WEB BROWSER
The MOTU Pro Audio Control web app runs in any
modern web browser on any device connected to
the 8A, either directly or wirelessly through a Wi-Fi
network. You can use any device you wish: a
desktop computer, laptop, iPad, tablet, iPhone or
smart phone. If it can run a web browser, it can run
the web app. You can use any browser you prefer:
Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc. The latest versions are
strongly recommended.
CONTROL FROM MULTIPLE DEVICES
You can run the web app on multiple host devices
simultaneously.
RUN THE INSTALLER, GET THE APP
Visit www.motu.com/avb to get the latest MOTU
Pro Audio Installer and run it on your computer to
install the
MOTU Discovery app, MOTU Pro Audio
WebUI Setup
shortcut (Windows only) and other
software elements. Visit the Apple App Store to
install the discovery app on your iPad or iPhone.
MAKE HARDWARE AND NETWORK
CONNECTIONS
Connect your 8A to your computer or laptop with
a USB or Thunderbolt cable. Make sure your iPad,
iPhone, tablet or smartphone is connected to the
same Wi-Fi network as your computer or device.
You can use any network connection explained in
“Setup for web app control” on page 38.
LAUNCHING THE WEB APP
To launch the web app, do any of the following:
■ Choose the 8A from the MOTU Discovery app
menu (in the Mac menu bar or Windows taskbar,
as shown on page 7) or launch the MOTU Pro
Audio WebUI Setup shortcut (Windows only).
■ From your iPad or iPhone, launch the MOTU
Discovery app.
■ In your favorite web browser, type this URL:
localhost:1280. (This URL requires a Thunderbolt
or USB connection to the 8A.)
■ If the 8A Ethernet port is connected to your
Ethernet or Wi-Fi network, type the unit’s IP
address (see below) into your browser.
You should now see the MOTU Pro Audio Control
web app in your browser, as shown on page 12. If
not visit Appendix A, “Troubleshooting” (page 95).
Obtaining the 8A’s IP address
On the front panel of the interface, push the ID
button once. The LCD now displays the unit’s IP
address, which should look something like this:
“IP: 192.168.1.209”.
