1. Target Device List

The Target Device List displays the name, IP address, MAC address, and 
MIDI port number of all units registered for communication with the 
DME-N Network Driver, and these can be sorted by clicking the 
corresponding title bar. When a unit is selected within this list, its 
communication parameters can be viewed and edited in the Device 
information (2) area below. 

• Device Name
• Device IP Address
• Device MAC Address
• Device Port No.

These fields display the name, IP address, MAC address, and MIDI port 
number of the corresponding unit. Refer to the Device information (2) 
area for more details.

[New] button

Click [New] to add a new unit to the list. You can then edit the unit's 
parameters as required using the fields in the Device information (2) area 
below and click [APPLY] to confirm your changes.

[Duplicate] button

Click [Duplicate] to add a unit to the list by copying the data for the 
currently selected unit. You can then edit the unit's parameters as required 
using the fields in the Device information (2) area below and click 
[APPLY] to confirm your changes.

[Remove] button

Click [Remove] to delete the selected unit from the list. If the unit in 
question is not the lowest in the list, all those below it will be shifted 
upwards to maintain continuity.

[Remove ALL] button

Click [Remove ALL] to delete all units from the list.

[Undo] button

Click [Undo] to cancel a single operation and revert to the previous state. 
This button will be grayed out and inactive immediately after an undo 
operation or after the window is displayed.

2. Device Information Area

When a unit registered for communication with the DME-N Network 
Driver is selected in the Target Device List (1), its communication 
parameters can be viewed and edited in the Device Information area.

[Device Name]

This field displays the name of the unit currently selected in the Target 
Device List. The names “UNIT1” through “UNIT256” are applied by 
default but can be freely edited using this field. 

[Device IP Address]

The IP address of the unit currently selected in the Target Device List can 
be confirmed and set using these four fields. Refer to page 7 for details 
regarding the confirmation and setting of IP addresses. 
Note: Communication with DME units is only possible if the 
corresponding IP addresses have been correctly setup. 

[Device MAC Address]

These fields display the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the unit 
currently selected in the Target Device List. MAC addresses are 
permanently assigned when DME units are manufactured and they 
cannot be changed. They are included here to prevent data from being 
sent to the wrong unit if an incorrect IP address is set inadvertently. Refer 
to page 7 for details regarding the confirmation of MAC addresses.

Notes: 

1. Communication with DME units is only possible if the corresponding MAC 

addresses have been correctly setup.

2. The MAC address of a connected unit cannot be changed.

[Device Port No.]

The MIDI port number of the unit currently selected in the Target Device 
List can be set using this field. Please note that the MIDI port number also 
functions as a device ID number. It should be set to "1" for DME Satellite 
units and to either "1" or "2" for DME64N/24N units. 
Note: Communication with DME units is only possible if the 
corresponding MIDI port numbers have been correctly setup. 

[Apply] button

Click [Apply] after editing the Device Name, Device IP Address, Device 
MAC Address, or Device Port No. parameters to confirm your changes. 
In addition, units added to the Target Device List (1) by clicking [New] or 
[Duplicate] will not be registered for communication with the DME-N 
Network Driver until [Apply] is clicked.
