Instruction Manual for DSM-26LAN / DSM-48LAN
2.Getting Started
2.1.Quick Start
For those of you that wish to jump right in, the following information has been provided to act as a quick start
guide for optimizing performance of your processor.
2.2.Connections
2.2.1.Signal Connections
When setting up your processor, make connections as follows:
- Always make connections prior to applying power to the processor.
- Connect the output(s) from the sending device (mixer) to the CH1 XLR input connector (mono) or both, CH1
and CH2 XLR input connectors (stereo).
- Make output connections from the output XLR connector(s) to the input connector(s) of the selected power
amplifier(s).
Always make sure that your power amps are the last item turned on and the first turned off.
Once all of the connections have been made, and the processor is powered up, you can navigate through
the
entire signal path of your processor from the front panel. The display provides you with a clear and
concise
overview of each aspect of the signal path from the input (left side of display) to the output section
(right side
of display).
2.2.2.Remote Monitoring and Control
For the quickest and easiest results we recommend to install and use the freely available PC or MAC
configuration software. It provides a complete and comprehensive tool to make your loudspeaker
configuration settings, and to manage your presets.
When connecting the unit via USB, make sure to connect it directly to your computer or to use a USB hub
that supports USB1.0. If you have problems with the USB connection, please refer to the Installation Guide
for details on how to install the proper driver.
When connecting the unit via an Ethernet network, you have several options. The PC/MAC application has
an auto-discovery tool that will automatically connect to any unit found on the network.
Please refer to the Software Manual available on our website for details on the control software.
2.2.2.1.Standard DHCP Network
For the easiest connection, use a standard Ethernet Router, plug in the unit and your computer, and the
connection should be made automatically. Standard routers have a DHCP server built in and enabled. A
DHCP server assigns a network address to your computer and to the DSM-26/-48LAN,
allowing them to connect automatically.
2.2.2.2.Connection without DHCP server
Alternatively, you can use a direct (cross) cable or a simple Ethernet Switch to connect the unit to your PC or
MAC. Please note that in this case, especially Windows computers may take up to several minutes to assign
themselves a network address (indicated by the text: "This connection has limited or no connectivity"). The
computer and the DSM-26/-48LAN both will assign themselves a network address in the ZeroConfig range
(169.254.0.0 - 169.254.255.255), and the DSM-26/-48LAN will be discovered automatically by the PC/MAC
application. To facilitate connections without DHCP router, it may be convenient to set your computer to a
fixed IP address. If you do this, please choose any address in the ZeroConfig range, and set the subnet mask
to 255.255.0.0.
