How to setup MagicVis on a separate computer and connect to a console
With a Console and MagicVis
Download and install MagicQ software on a computer (windows or mac)
Connect an ethernet cable from the console to the computer, MQ Consoles have a switch built into the console so no crossover cable is needed.
Check to be sure that the PC, and the console are running the same version of the MQ software, this can be found on the bottom left of the screen near the clock and will read as 1.x.x.x as the version number
On the Console:
Go to Setup
View Settings,
Network.
Set the IP address to a scheme following your network, IE. 10.0.0 101, Subnet to 255.0.0.0
Set the first 2 options in the Multi-Console tab to Yes
On the PC:
Turn off/disable wireless networks. ( It is strongly recommended you do not use WiFi to run the Vis, a direct connection via Ethernet ensures fast communication)
Disable any firewalls and antivirus.
Set Network Settings on PC to a scheme following your network, IE. an IP address of 10.0.0.102, Subnet to 255.0.0.0 (IP address should be within the same range but different from any other hardware on your network)

With a PC wing and MagicVis
First, open MQPC and connect your PC wing
Then follow the same process as above however, on both PC's you should ensure any firewall and antivirus software is turned off, and IP addresses have been set within windows to match the scheme of your network.
you may need to use a network switch between the PC's to allow them to communicate with each other, this should be a "dumb" switch, with no firewalls, or DHCP enabled.
