SONAMP DSP 2-150 MULTI-CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER INSTRUCTION MANUAL
ACCESSING
In order to access the software on a DSP amplifier the
amplifier needs to be on and connected to a router. The router will
provide the DSP amplifier with an IP address automatically.
Using a Windows computer running Windows 7 or 8 the amplifier
can be found in your network connections. The DSP amplifiers
feature UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allowing them to be displayed
as easily accessible network devices. When multiple amplifiers are
connected to the same network they will appear individually.
To find the IP address on a Mac computer or iOS device you will need
to use an IP address scanner software or app. The manufacturer
name should be displayed as Sonance on the DSP amplifier in your
IP scanning software.
Once you have the IP address you can use any internet browser to
access the software. Type the DSP amplifier’s IP address into
the URL bar. When the page loads you should be presented with the
General Settings tab.
IP SETUP
DHCP On/Off
DHCP ON / OFF is the first option in IP SETUP. All Sonance DSP series
amplifiers ship with DHCP (Dynamic Host Connection Protocol) ON.
In most installations DHCP should be left ON. If you are controlling
the DSP series amplifier using IP then we suggest you turn DHCP
OFF and use a static IP address.
IP Address
The second setting in the IP SETUP section is the IP address.
When DHCP is ON the current IP address will be displayed. To
change the IP address DHCP must be set to OFF.
When DHCP is turned off the IP address that the router assigned to
the amplifier will still be applied. This IP address is a good place to
start since it is not being used by another network device. If you wish
to change the IP address you should perform a scan of the network
and only assign an unused IP address within the range of your
router. As a general rule only change the last three digits of the IP
address in the amplifier settings and only assign numbers between
1 and 254. Following this suggestion will minimize the chance of
making the amplifier inaccessible.
It is critical to type in the correct IP address. If the wrong IP address
is entered, the amplifier could become inaccessible. Make changes
to the IP settings only if you fully understand network setup.
IP Subnet Mask
The third setting in the IP SETUP section is the IP Subnet Mask. This
is an advanced network setup function. Under most circumstances
this field should not need to be edited. Making changes in this field
should only be done by experienced network administrators.
