Setting up The Director Model D3400 or D4400 is a
breeze. Just plug it into an existing network and let the
DHCP server assign The Director amplifier an IP address.
The Director amplifier will then show up in your network
device list, if “network discovery” has been enabled in your
Windows computer. Double click the icon for the amp and
your browser should open to The Director’s Operations page.
Alternative methods of connecting are described below.
Other than connecting to the browser for initial set up,
configuration and EQ settings, you will be able to control the
amplifier via Telnet (pages 14-16). This is done through the
telnet port 23.

General
For Microsoft operating systems:
There are multiple ways to connect to The Director ampli -
fier. The simplest way is to connect The Director, via the Eth -
ernet port, to a network with a DHCP server. The Director
will obtain a local address from the DHCP server. The Direc -
tor amplifier should appear in the list of network resources.
If it does not appear within a minute or so, double check and
make sure that you have enabled network discovery or UPnP
devices to be shown.
If no DHCP server has been enabled in your network, or
you would like to directly connect to The Director ampli -
fier, use an Ethernet cable and connect the two devices to -
gether. The default IP address of The Director amplifier is
192.168.0.249 when a DHCP server is unavailable, so in order
to connect to The Director, you will need to give your com -
puter a static IP address.
In your Windows based computer, change your comput -
er’s IP address to a static address of 192.168.0.x – where x is a
value between 1 through 248 or 250 through 254. If you don’t
know where to start to find out how to give your computer a
static IP address, please consult the Interwebs.
Be sure not to use a static IP address for your computer
that is in use by another device – an IP address should be
unique across the local network – if it is not you’re going to
have a bad time.

Important Note:
DCHP is default for The Director
and UPnP/device discovery is
enbled. However, if a DCHP server
is not found, the Director’s default
IP address is 192.168.0.249. If you
aren’t using DCHP and plan to
assign static addresses, individually
set the IP address by connecting
directly to The Director amplifier
with a computer first. Never allow
two devices with the same IP address
on the network.
Important Note:
If you are connecting multiple
units on a network, The Directors
will number themselves for immedi-
ate identification as they are powered
up with a network connection .They
should be viewable from the Discov-
ered Devices list in your Windows
computer. Later on, you can rename
them.
