Network Settings
Assign the IP address and master ID from DME Designer as shown below:
Setting the IP address
Each group of digits between periods in an IP address is called an “octet.” These groups of digits are called “1st
octet,” “2nd octet,” etc., starting from the left-most digit group.
You cannot specify 0, 127, or 223 through 255 for the 1st octet of the network address.
You can specify the following range of values for the 4th octet.
Master : 2-253
Slave
: 3-253
Master and slave setting
Each device group must have one master. All other devices in the group are assigned as slave.
If a particular DME Satellite unit is assigned as slave, you must set its master ID to the value of the 4th octet of
the master DME Satellite IP address.
NOTE
• Subnet mask is fixed at 255.255.255.0.
• The host address is automatically set to 254. Gateway address is the same network address as the IP address.
• Assign each of DME series units a unique IP address so that there are no duplicates. Assigning duplicate IP addresses may
cause serious network problems.
• You cannot make any network settings while using the DME Designer application on-line. To make network settings, first
set DME Designer off-line. Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for details.
• If you have connected a PM5D and a DME Satellite via CobraNet and are controlling the DME Satellite from the PM5D,
you must specify a value of 2 as the fourth octet of the group master DME Satellite’s IP address.
NOTE
If you are using the DME Satellite along with a DME64N/24N, assign the DME Satellite as the master.
This will optimize the network communication speed.
