 !!! The method that gave the most satisfactory results to connect a wireless device and OSCulator together is to use a WiFi router: connect the Mac to the WiFi router using an Ethernet cable and connect the iPad to the WiFi router using its wireless network.  The router must be configured to allow networking between Ethernet and WiFi interfaces (which is often the case by default). !!!

 !!! Under some circumstances, it is possible that OSCulator loses track of the bindings between the two applications.  The simple cure is to delete all messages starting with ''/midi'' OSCulator will recreate them automatically as soon as you start using TouchOSC. !!!

-??? How do I know what is the IP address or host name of my iPhone or iPad? 
-!!! If you are using TouchOSC, you can get your device's IP address by going in the Network setup. The IP address is displayed as "Local IP Address" with something like ''10.0.1.4''. 
- 
-However, using the IP address is not the best thing to do if you want to send OSC messages to your iPhone.  Using a human readable name is much more convenient, easy to remember, and it will not change if you use your phone on another wireless network. 
- 
-The network host name is given from the iPhone's name in iTunes.  For example if your iPhone is named "Gedeon", its network name will be ''gedeon.local''. 
- 
-By default, iPhones are configured with a name like "Peter's iPhone", but this makes a cluttered network name.  To workaround this, the solution is to choose a simple one-word name with plain [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII|ASCII]] letters.  For this, go in iTunes, and select your iPhone icon in the Devices view.  Click again to make the field editable, and enter the desired name.

   - Second option, use the oscbroadcast tool.  This solution is a little bit more advanced, but has the advantage of routing every OSC message without distinction and is therefore more powerful.  It also helps keeping the OSCulator document less cluttered with duplicates.   - Second option, use the oscbroadcast tool.  This solution is a little bit more advanced, but has the advantage of routing every OSC message without distinction and is therefore more powerful.  It also helps keeping the OSCulator document less cluttered with duplicates.
