[. . . ] DIGITAL MIXING ENGINE SATELLITE Owner's Manual EN Explanation of Graphical Symbols CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The above warning is located on the top of the unit. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Read these instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. [. . . ] To switch between RS-232C and RS-422 for the [REMOTE] connector function, turn off the power to the device, set the dip switch as shown below, then turn on the power to the device again. RS-232C RS-232C RS-422 RS-232C RS-422 RS-422 If you do not plan to initialize the DME Satellite, CAUTION set all dip switch bits (excluding one bit for the RS-422 setting) in the upper position. 5 [REMOTE] Connector This 9-pin D-SUB connector allows connection to a Yamaha AD824 or AD8HR remote head amplifier or an RS232C/RS-422 compatible controller such as those from AMX or Crestron. See "Remote Connection ([REMOTE] Connector)" on page 29 for connection details. 20 DME8i-C/DME8o-C/DME4io-C Owner's Manual Controls and Connectors 6 CobraNet [PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY] Connectors The DME Satellite features two CobraNet connectors for built-in redundancy: one for a primary network connection, another for a secondary or backup connection. If for some reason the primary connection fails (e. g. , a cable is damaged, inadvertently disconnected, or a switching hub fails), the secondary connection automatically kicks in. Audio transmission is momentarily interrupted, but the duration of interruption varies depending on the hub performance or settings, and the system configuration. NOT E · You can check the CobraNet connection status by looking at the [IN USE/CONDUCTOR] and [LINK ACTIVITY] indicators. The indicators on both sides to the CobraNet connectors are turned off. · Use a CAT5 STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable to prevent electromagnetic interference. 7 MAC Address This is the CobraNet's MAC (Media Access Control) address. 8 [GPI] Connector This Euroblock connector provides access to the unit's GPI (General Purpose Interface) interface for transfer of control signals to and from external equipment. The OUT terminals output either signal "L" or "H" at a TTL level. (See page 31. ) 9 [INPUT] Connectors These Euroblock connectors receive 8-channel analog audio signals on the DME8i-C. These Euroblock connectors receive 4-channel analog audio signals on the DME4io-C. ) [OUTPUT] Connectors These Euroblock connectors output 8-channel analog audio signals on the DME8o-C. These Euroblock connectors output 4-channel analog audio signals on the DME4io-C.

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. N OT E · Refer to the separate DME Designer Installation Guide for details on installing USB-MIDI Driver and DME Designer. · Make sure that the USB-MIDI Driver's THRU setting is "OFF. " · Refer to "Network Settings" on page 23 for more information on assigning IP addresses from DME Designer. USB connections can be used in the following three ways: (1) Set up the network (e. g. , assign a unique IP address to each DME Satellite) from DME Designer. (3) Connect to any individual DME Satellite and control that DME Satellite unit by transmitting MIDI commands from a MIDI sequencer or similar software. N OT E · You can use DME Designer to control an entire device group through the group master. · The correspondence between the MIDI commands to be received/transmitted and the scene parameters can be set up using DME Designer. · The USB port being used by DME Designer is not available for use by a MIDI sequencer or other application.

" These groups of digits are called "1st octet, " "2nd octet, " etc. , starting from the left-most digit group. You cannot specify 0, 127, or 223 through 255 for the 1st octet of the network address. Master : 2-253 Slave : 3-253 NO T E · Subnet mask is fixed at 255. 255. 255. 0. · Assign each of DME series units a unique IP address so that there are no duplicates. · You cannot make any network settings while using the DME Designer application on-line.
