as BASIS 1, or similar. Select the Device Type and select BASIS 922dz. At the Password prompt, enter “qsc” (lower case, no quotation 
marks). This is the device password, separate from the software password. The default, in both cases, is “qsc”, but you are free to 
change either or both. Enter the IP address of the BASIS and click 

OK

 The BASIS will now appear in the inventory root (left side of screen, first with a red “x”, then a yellow exclamation point, then a 

normal icon). If the BASIS does not eventually show in the inventory root, check that a crossover cable is used (only for BASIS con-
nected directly to PC), check the cable connections, verify IP addresses are set correctly, verify Subnet masks are set correctly, and ver-
ify AC power is properly applied to the BASIS.

Click on the “+” sign of the BASIS 922dz in the inventory root, then the “+” sign of the Flashed Configs. Click on the config with the 

loudspeaker icon. A view of applicable device tabs will open. Click the DSP block and the current DSP configuration of the BASIS will 
be displayed. Default DSP routing is Digital inputs 1-8 are routed to DataPorts 1-4, with each DataPort assigned 2 sequential channels 
(i.e.Digital inputs 1 and 2 are routed to DataPort A, Inputs 3 and 4 are routed to DataPort B, etc....).
