Identify DD8+ IP Address for Web Configuration Dashboard Access
Overview
The Lexicon DD8+ features a web-based Configuration Dashboard for system set-up. As long as the DD8+
is connected to the same network as the controlling device (PC, Mac or Mobile device), the Configuration
Dashboard can be accessed via an Internet Browser such as Chrome, Safari or Firefox. The web GUI provides
a highly convenient means of accessing the internal DSP to configure the DD8+ for maximum usability and
performance.
NOTE: The DD8+ is optimized for tablets. The user experience differs slightly depending on the system.
Graphic refresh rates vary depending on browser, operating system, speed and connection to the network,
as well as the speed of the controlling device. In some circumstances the graphics may take several seconds
to redraw.
Hardware Connection
1. Begin by hardwiring the DD8+ RJ45 Ethernet connection to a router.
2. Take note of the MAC ID listed above the Ethernet port. You will later identify the device on the network by
this ID number.

3. Connect your computer or mobile device to the same router (wired or wireless).
4. Make sure the DD8+ is powered on and is not in standby mode (blue light should be illuminated).
NOTE: The DD-8+ will not communicate with the network in standby mode.
There are a few different ways to identify the DD8+ on the network. Several free software applications are
available for PC, Mac, and iOS that will scan the network from a. Many installers find this process the simple and
fast. This process is outlined below.
NOTE: The DD-8+ will use DHCP to obtain an IP address, therefore, the IP address is assigned by the router
and will change each time the unit is connected. The Mac ID will remain the same for the particular unit.
