system’s router to reset PDM’s IP address. It may take a few moments before
a new address is registered.

Depending on your network’s router, after you enable and confirm a change
to DHCP, you may need to power cycle PDM to get an address.
•
PDM responds to Pings across your network. You can use this to determine if
an address is valid and the network is working properly.
Fields in the following menus “roll over” between their limits of 0 and 255. If the
0

mation is supplied automatically by your router.
IP Address

Ò
and
‰
to change fields;
¨
or
Î
to set values.
Subnet mask
In most cases, this should be set to
255.255.255.0
.
DNS Server
DNS stands for “Domain Name Server”. This number
is supplied by your Internet Service Provider [ISP] or IT department.
Just about every modern computer, including PDM, uses one of these
servers to access the Internet.

While broadcast engineers are becoming more and more net-savvy, you may need to consult with your sta-
tion’s IT manager about appropriate settings for your data network.

We recommend you make these settings from PDM’s front panel, rather than using its GUI from a remote
network computer, so you don’t accidently change something that’ll break the connection. Numeric IP ad-
dresses should be set only from the front panel.
Menu may be slightly different for Livewire-equipped PDMs. See

Gateway
The IP address of your LAN’s Gateway system or router that connects PDM to the
Internet, also supplied by your ISP or IT department. It’s needed so the PD-Alert system can
send its e-mail to servers outside your local area network.
14 The +14 dBu sensitivity in the figure would make these meters read –10 dBFS with a st4 dBu line
level test signal. In other words, the setting means a +14 dBu signal would read 0 dBFS—the maximum
allowable digital signal—and standard line level is 10 dB less than that, or –10 dBFS.
