This manual describes the process of setting up a DME system, from making the initial DME processor settings

(DME64N / DME24N / DME8i-C / DME8o-C / DME4io-C / DME8i-ES / DME8o-ES / DME4io-ES) to synchronizing with

the DME Designer application installed on a computer.

n For details about the DME units refer to the manual supplied with the speciﬁc device, and for details about the DME Designer

application refer to the pdf-format DME Designer manual.

n In this document the term “DME” will refer to the DME64N, DME24N, DME8i-C, DME8o-C, DME4io-C, DME8i-ES, DME8o-ES and

DME Network Setup After connecting the computer to the DME unit via a USB cable, the Device Group and IP address for each DME unit can be individually set from the DME Designer. n These parameters can also be set directly via the panel controls and displays of the DME64N and DME24N (page 19). Device Group When a system uses multiple DME units, the DME units can be controlled from the DME Designer application in Device Groups.

4 Master ID When a device is assigned as a Slave in Master/Slave (2) above, this sets the host address for the Master device in that group. This parameter cannot be set for the Master device. 5 Link Mode Make sure that “100Base-TX” is selected. 10 If the system includes multiple DME devices, repeat the above settings for each individual device. Computer to DME Connection Refer to the DME manual for information on audio connection and further network connection details.

7 Click the [Synchronization] item in the main panel window [Tools] menu to open the Synchronization dialog box. DME objects placed in the DME Designer application will be displayed in the [DME Designer] list on the left, and DME devices connected to the network will be displayed in the [Network] list on the right. n If multiple Device Groups have been set up, select the Device Group to be synchronized from the [Group] list.
PAGE 16
10 Select the [DME Designer -> Device] button, then click [OK] and the DME Designer configuration will be transferred to the DME device. When synchronization has finished the [Go On-line] button will be grayed out and the main panel window [On-line] button will light. n When a configuration has already been transferred to a DME unit, we recommend using the [DME Designer <- Device] button for synchronization. The transfer time is faster than using the [DME Designer -> Device] button.

Troubleshooting The USB-MIDI Driver cannot be installed. • Is the USB cable connected correctly? When controlling the DME from your computer via USB, the DME does not operate correctly. • Is the USB function enabled on your computer? When you connect the DME to the computer for the first time, if the “Add New Hardware Wizard” does not appear, the USB function on the computer may be disabled. Perform the following steps. 1 Select [Start] → [Control Panel] (→ [System] → [Hardware]) → [Device Manager].
PAGE 18
When controlling the DME from your computer via Ethernet, the DME does not operate correctly. • Is the Ethernet cable connected correctly? • Is the DME-N Network Driver set up appropriately? Did you enter an appropriate IP address? • Is the computer network setup appropriate? Select [Start] → [Control Panel] → [Network Connections] → [Local Area Connection], and confirm the network setup.
