+  This is usable only on computers with 3rd party ipMIDI
+  driver software installed and configured for (at least) 2 ports.

+<p>
+  Open <code>Preferences > Control Surfaces</code>. Ensure that the
+  Mackie protocol is enabled, then double-click on it to open the

+  Ensure that the device selected is "SSL Nucleus (via platform MIDI)". The dialog should
+  show four combo/dropdown selectors, labelled (respectively):
+  <ul>
+    <li>Main Surface receives via</li>
+    <li>Main Surface sends via</li>
+    <li>1st extender receives via</li>
+    <li>1st extender sends via</li>
+  </ul>
+  You should choose "ipMIDI port 1", "ipMIDI port 1", "ipMIDI port 2"
+  and "ipMIDI port 2" for each of the 4 combo/dropdown selectors. 
+</p>
+<p>
+  Communication should be automatically established with the Nucleus.

+<p>
+  If this does not work, then make sure your network cables are
+  properly connected, and that you are running the approprate ipMIDI
+  driver and have configured it for 2 (or more) ports.
