To obtain an automatic IP in the ZeroConfig range:
1. Connect the unit to
the switch or computer. The computer network card’s
settings must specify “Obtain an automatic IP” (by default)
2. DSPLink will detect the unit through its MAC address.
3. After some time (it may take a couple of minutes), the system will assign the
address and
notify the message “This connection has limited or no
connectivity”.
To set a fixed IP in the ZeroConfig range:
1. Open your Network Connection settings and edit TCP/IP address
2. Set the IP in the ZeroConfig Range (169.254.0.0
– 169.254.255.255)
3. Set a Subnet Mask as 255.255.0.0.
4. Other parameters such as Gateway or DNS Servers may be left blank.
5. Connect the unit to the network where your computer is connected to.
6. DSPLink will detect the unit
4.4.3 Connection to a Dante Network ( DSP 608D only)
To use the Dante inputs, connect the DSP 608D via the RJ45 connector to a Network
where Dante data is being streamed. In order to route the Dante signal to the device,
the Audinate’s software Dante Controller must be installed to your PC. More
information about the installation and operation of this software can be found in the
following link:

4.5 System Optimization
In order to have a proper start of your system and an optimized configuration, follow
these steps by the first configuration:
1. Play a signal at the nominal level from your mixing desk, and set the input
gain of your processor to 0dB (Default Preset setting)
2. Set the crossovers that you want to use, while keeping the output gains also
at 0dB.
3. With DISCONNECTED loudspeakers, turn up the volume of the power
amplifiers entirely clockwise (full volume).
4. Reduce the output gain and / or the output limiter setting to get the desired
gain, so that the amplifier is just clipping and the built-in limiters of your
processor are just limiting (Orange led blinking at the output channels).
5. Turn down the volume of the power amplifiers, connect your speakers, and
slowly increase the volume while checking the sound.
6. Check if the loudspeakers are reproducing distortion-free sound, and the
limiter LEDs are flashing or off, but not continuously on. If they are
continuously on, reduce the output gain of your processor.
7. If you cannot reach enough signal level, increase the processor's input gain or
turn up the level from your mixing desk.
