Foreword Connecting to a Computer USB Connection Introduction to the DME Satellite To connect multiple DME Satellite units to a network, you must assign appropriate IP addresses and make other network settings on all units. To achieve this, you need to connect the [USB] connector of one of the DME Satellite units to the USB port of the computer using USB cables, install USB-MIDI Driver and DME Designer on the computer, then assign the IP addresses to the DME Satellite units from DME Designer.
Foreword Connecting to a Computer Network Settings Setting the IP address Host Address • Subnet mask is fixed at 255.255.255.0. • The network address of Gateway is the same as that of IP address. The host address of Gateway is automatically set to 254. • Assign each of DME series units a unique IP address so that there are no duplicates. Assigning duplicate IP addresses may cause serious network problems. • You cannot make any network settings while using the DME Designer application on-line.
Foreword Connecting to a Computer Ethernet Connection ([NETWORK] Connector) To control the DME Satellite from the computer via Ethernet, use an Ethernet cable to connect the [NETWORK] connector on the rear panel of the DME Satellite to the computer, then install DME-N Network Driver.
