Help Connecting XR-AVB-LC-BRD to MacBook Pro

[KevinLyver]

I updated my laptop to OS X Mavericks, and I am trying to connect the XR-AVB-LC-BRD through the ethernet port.

Do I need to know the subnet of the AVB kit? Or is it done automatically? If it is done automatically, are there settings that I need to change on my Mac?

Secondly is there any specific software that I need for my Mac that can either stream or receive audio?

Thanks...

1) Open the Audio MIDI Setup application
2) Window > Show Network Device Browser
3) Connect the XR-AVB-LC-BRD to the MacBook Pro. Make sure you are running the latest reference design firmware from XMOS.
4) If your Mac is AVB capable, you will see the XMOS board appear in the device browser. If not, you will see an error message in the Network Device Browser telling you your Mac is not AVB capable.
5) Click the check box next to the XMOS device to connect.
6) Note the new audio device in Audio Devices.
7) You can set the new audio device as the default input and output device and all applications will use that device unless you specify otherwise.

You can use any application to stream or receive audio. Try Audacity: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
