6X1 DigitalMedia™ Switcher
Crestron
DM-MD6X1
address 192.168.1.33 and receive the same IP mask and default router as the DM
switcher.
Since there can be up to 32 slots in the DigitalMedia switcher, the last octet in the
DM switcher IP address may not be set higher than 236. Otherwise not all devices
will receive a valid IP address.
The DM-MD6X1 sends this IP configuration to other DigitalMedia devices in the
system.
DigitalMedia devices that receive this IP configuration are the DMC-HD,
DMC-HD-DSP, DMC-DVI, DM-RMC-100, DM-RMC-100-F, DM-TX-100, and
DM-TX-200.
IP Table Setup
DigitalMedia devices that receive their IP address configuration via the switcher can
also receive their IP table configuration from the DM switcher.
For more information, refer to “IP Table Options” on page 25.
Identity Code
The IP ID is set within the DM-MD6X1’s table using Crestron Toolbox. For
information on setting an IP table, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file. The IP IDs
of multiple DM-MD6X1 devices in the same system must be unique.
When setting the IP ID, consider the following:
•
The IP ID of each unit must match an IP ID specified in the SIMPL™
Windows program.
•
Each device using IP to communicate with a control system must have a
unique IP ID.
Installation
Ventilation
The DM-MD6X1 should be used in a well-ventilated area. The venting holes should
not be obstructed under any circumstances.
To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds the
environmental temperature range listed in the table of specifications. Consider using
forced air ventilation and/or incrementing the spacing between units to reduce
overheating. Consideration must be given if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly since the operating ambient temperature of the environment may be greater
than the room ambient temperature. Contact with thermal insulating materials should
be avoided on all sides of the unit.
Rack Mounting
The DM-MD6X1 can be mounted in a rack or stacked with other equipment. Two
“ears” are provided with the DM-MD6X1 so that the unit can be rack mounted.
These ears must be installed prior to mounting. Complete the following procedure to
attach the ears to the unit. The only tool required is a #1 or #2 Phillips screwdriver.

To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a
rack, take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following
guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
•
When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
•
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
