Initial Setup

The initial setup of a DM system is a relatively simple 

three step process:  connect the unit to the computer, 

turn on the computer and select the appropriate control 

panel, preset the input, matrix and output.  This process 

assumes that LecNet2™ and, if necessary, the USB 

driver have been previously installed.  If they have not 

been installed, please refer to 

Installing LecNet2™ 

Software and USB Driver

.

1)  Connect the computer system to the DM unit using 

either the BLACK DB9 to stereo mini (TRS 1/8”) 

cable for RS-232 communications or the USB cable 

for USB control.  (Both cables are included with the 

unit.)

Note” Only one DM unit at a time can be 

connected to the computer system using the RS-

232 cable. Multiple units may be connected to the 

computer system using a USB hub. 

2)  Turn the computer system on.  After the boot se-

quence is complete, click 

Start

, then 

All Programs

.

3)  Select 

LecNet2

, then select the control panel from 

the list for the DM unit being set up.

4)  If the

 “Just a Reminder”

 dialog appears, click 

OK

 

to continue.

5)  Click 

Connection

 on the Main Menu bar, then 

select the type of connection between the computer 

system or external control system and the DM unit.  

The choices are:

  USB -  used when the computer is connected 

to the DM unit via the front or rear panel 

USB port.

  Network - One or more DM devices may be 

made available for network connections 

by connecting them to a gateway server 

acting as a middleman, receiving 

commands for a DM over a network 

connection, and forwarding them to the 

DM device connected via USB.

  Extron IPL T S - One or more DM devices 

may be made available for network 

connections by connecting them to 

an 

Extron IPL T S

 ethernet control 

interface. The IPL T S interface acts as 

a middleman, receiving commands for a 

DM device over a network connection, 

and forwarding them to the device via an 

RS232 port. To work as a gateway server 

the IPL T S interface must be a member 

of some local area network (LAN) or 

the Internet, by means of an 

Ethernet

 

connection.

  Serial->COM1 - An RS-232 port for RS-232 

communications between the DM and 

the computer sytsem, or for connecting 

the DM to an external control system 

such as those made by Crestron

®

 or 

AMX

®

.

  Serial->COM2 - Same as above.

  Go Offline - No Connection Made, this mode 

can be used for off line configuration and 

is the default mode.
