Mac App Installation

DSP8.8

Establishing a Connection

DSP8.8

(iOS/Android): 

When connecting via the DRC/Wi-Fi module, a connection to this module must be 

established via the Wi-Fi settings of your smart device. Activate the Wi-Fi network search on your smart 

device, and search for 

“PhoenixDSP”

 network. The default password to the network is 

“PGDSP8.8”

.  This 

connection process may take 30-90 seconds before the 

(√ PhoenixDSP)

 appears (see image1). When this 

symbol appears, a Wi-Fi connection has been established. Wi-Fi logo on the main configuration screen 

will change from 

“Wi-Fi NOT connected”

 to 

“Wi-Fi”

.  Connection via the PGDSP8.8 app to the DSP is now 

possible. Android tablets also can connect and control the DSP8.8 via the PC port using an OTG cable 

and a Micro-USB cable. The 

“Wi-Fi NOT connected”

 logo will be present until this USB connection is made, 

it will then change to a 

USB

 logo.

To activate communication on the app, simply press the power icon. The power icon will change from 

being greyed out to being orange when the processor is on and ready to begin communication (see 

image 2). A pop-up window will appear, press “connect” for communication between your device and 

the DSP8.8 can begin (see image 3).

When actively connected to the DSP8.8, the Phoenix icon will continuously blink while data is being 

streamed between the smart device and the DSP8.8.  This can also be seen on the DRC as the LED for 

button #1 (see image 4). The DSP8.8 is now ready for system configuration to begin.

(Mac/PC): 

When connecting to the DSP8.8 to a laptop/desktop computer a connection must be made 

via Wi-Fi or by connecting to the PC port with a micro-USB cable. To activate communication on the 

DSP8.8 software simply press the power icon and select connect on the pop-up window. The power icon 

will also change from being greyed out to being orange. When connected to the DSP8.8 the Phoenix 

icon will blink every time the data is sent between the computer and the DSP8.8. The DSP8.8 is now 

ready for system configuration to be started.
