Configuration
5. Configuration
Before making input, output and GPIO connections,
an initial Danley DSA amplifier configuration should
be established. It is particularly important that the
amplifier output format is configured appropriately for
the speakers that are to be connected.
Configuration requires that Danley DSA amplifiers are
connected to mains power, switched on and connected
to network services. These connections are described in
the following two sections.
5.1 Mains Power Connection
Danley DSA amplifiers incorporate a power factor corrected
power supply and can be used with mains input voltage from
100V AC to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. Use the mains cable supplied
with the amplifier and connect it to a mains supply.
Press the front panel power button to switch on the amplifier.
After a short delay the front panel Status indicator will
illuminate green.
5.2 Network Services
Danley DSA amplifiers are configured via the Control
Web App interface. Before the Web App configuration
menus can be accessed, Danley DSA amplifiers must be
connected to the same TCP/IP network as the computer
or mobile device that is to be used for configuration.
5.2.1 Wired (Ethernet) Network Connection
To connect a Danley DSA amplifier to a TCP/IP network using a
wired connection (Ethernet) follow the steps below.
1.
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Danley DSA amplifier
rear panel Network Control socket to a free socket on a
network router or switch, or directly to an Ethernet equipped
laptop or desktop computer.
2. Connect the Danley DSA amplifier to mains power using
the supplied mains cable. Wait for the front panel Network
indicator to illuminate green to indicate that the amplifier has
network connectivity.
3. The Danley DSA amplifier default LAN IP address is
192.168.64.100. Configure the laptop or desktop computer
for a fixed IP address in the same IP range; eg. 192.168.64.10,
with Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (or prefix 24) and set the
Gateway to 192.168.64.1.
4. Open a laptop or desktop web browser and enter the address
http://192.168.64.100. The Control Web App interface will
open to enable amplifier configuration as required.
Note: Danley DSA amplifiers can be configured to use DHCP for
network connection if required. However, if a Danley DSA amplifier
using DHCP is power cycled, it is possible that the TCP/IP network
router will assign it a different IP address, leaving its configuration
page inaccessible via the previous address. If this occurs, a network
scanning app can be used to identify the new IP address. DHCP and
Fixed IP address option settings can be found in the Settings Tab
menu described in Section 5.3.
5.2.2 Wireless (WiFi) Network Connection
To connect a Danley DSA amplifier to a TCP/IP network using a
wireless connection (WiFi) follow the steps below.
1.
With the Danley DSA amplifier connected to mains power,
wait for the front panel WiFi indicator to illuminate green.
2.
Use a mobile, laptop or desktop device to search for available
WiFi networks. Connect to, Danley DSA (product serial
number)’ using the password,
‘password’.
The amplifier serial
number can be found on its rear panel.
3.
Open a computer or mobile device web browser and enter
the IP address: 192.168.4.1. The Control Web App interface
will open to enable amplifier configuration as required.
4.
Select the Web App Settings Tab followed by WiFi > WiFi
Mode > Client to configure the amplifier to connect to the
required WiFI network. The WiFi network name and password
will be required.
It is strongly recommended that the Danley DSA amplifier
Access Point WiFi password is changed following initial
wireless connection.
