1.

 Turn on the DME64N/24N.

2.

 Press the [HOME] key to display the 

main screen.

3. 

Press and hold the [UTILITY] key for at 

least 2 seconds to display the Utility 
screen.

4. 

Press the [UTILITY] key several times 

until the Net page appears.

5.

 Use the [

] and [

] keys to move the 

cursor to the parameters listed below and press the [ENTER] key.

The corresponding editing dialog will appear. Set each of the following 
parameters as described and press the [ENTER] key each time to confirm 
and enter the settings.

• 

Master/Slave

This parameter sets device-group master or slave status.
Master: One DME unit must be assigned as the master in each device group.
Slave: All other DME units in the group should be set to slave.

Note: 

When DME64N/24N and DME Satellite units are combined in a device group, 

be sure to assign a DME Satellite unit as the group master.

ICP1, CP4SF, CP1SF, and CP4SW controllers are available as optional extras for remote external control of the DME units. For details regarding 
installation of a control panel and connection to the DME unit, please refer to the owner’s manual that came with the control panel.

Device group and IP address settings for DME64N and DME24N units can be made directly via their front panels as follows.

 The latest information about DME units and applications can be 

downloaded from the Yamaha Pro Audio website.

4. In-depth Information on DME Units

• 

IP Address

This parameter sets the IP address of the DME unit in question. All DME 
units in the same device group must share the same network address.

Notes: 

1. When only one DME unit (Master) is used, the IP address should be set to

“192.168.0.2”.

2. The subnet mask is fixed at “255.255.255.0”.
3. The host address can be set between 2 and 253 for the master device, and 

between 3 and 253 for slaves.

4. Unless it is absolutely necessary to use a global IP address, you should 

always use a private address (that is, 192.168.0.2. through 
192.168.255.253). Consult with your network administrator if a global 
address must be used.

• 

Master ID

When a device is assigned as a slave using 
Master/Slave above, this parameter sets 
the host address for the corresponding 
master. Setting of this parameter is not 
possible when the DME unit in question 
is assigned as the master.

• 

Link Mode

Ensure that “100Base-TX” is selected for this parameter.

 Press the [HOME] key to return and save your changes. 

Whenever making GPI settings, check for responses using the GPI Setup page. 

The GPI Setup page from the DME unit's Utility Display can be used to 
monitor in real time the signals being input via the GPI IN terminal. This 
can prove extremely useful in identifying the cause of GPI control prob-
lems after configuration as being within the GPI device, within the connec-
tions, or within the DME configuration. If the DME unit fails to operate as 
required even though a signal is returned to the GPI IN terminal, the prob-

lem probably lies in the configuration data, or although unlikely, in the 
DME unit itself. As this page can be used to check for GPI responses 
when making GPI settings, it can be employed to great effect.

Maximum length of GPI cables

CPEV cables with a core diameter of 0.65 mm or more can be used over 
distances of up to 100 m.
