Installing the DS1404 Control Software
Installing the DS1404 Controller
The DS1404 is shipped with a CD containing the DS1404 control software. Insert the CD and run the included
program called “setup.exe” and follow the prompts.
Updated versions of the DS1404 software are available for download at www.soundmasking.com/support.
This software allows configuration of each channel of the DS1404 and provides several system wide options such
as soft start on power-up, holiday schedules and Daylight Saving Time settings.
The DS1404 is designed to be installed into any standard 19” wide equipment rack. Typically, the inputs of the
DS1404 will be connected to the outputs of a soundmasking generator and the outputs of the DS1404 will provide
signal to the soundmasking system amplifier input(s).
It is important to note that the inputs and outputs of the DS1404 share a “common” terminal which is on the right
side (when facing the rear of the unit) of each Phoenix™ connector. “Common” and “Positive” terminals must not be
interchanged or the DS1404 will not properly attenuate signals.
The rear panel Bypass switches are used to pass signals through the clock inputs and outputs without any attenuation.
In bypass mode, signals are passed through even if the DS1404 is unpowered. No DS1404 features, such as soft-
start are active when in Bypass mode.
Connecting your PC to the DS1404
Connection from the PC to the DS1404 is made through your PC’s com. port. If your PC does not have a standard
9 pin, RS-232, communications port you must use a USB to Com adaptor in order to connect the DS1404 to your
PC’s USB port.
Using the cable supplied with the DS1404, connect your PC’s com port (or USB adaptor) to the port labeled serial port
on the back of the DS1404. See the following sections for activating the connection and configuring the DS1404.
