DME Designer and DME-N Network Driver Installation

Install the DME Designer application and DME-N Network Driver from the DME Designer Combo Installer by

following the procedure outlined below.

nThe following procedure is applicable even if an older version of the DME Designer and/or DME-N Network Driver is already installed.

nBe sure to read the license agreement at the end of this document before installing this software.

1Open the downloaded and extracted “DME Designer Combo Installer V*.*.*” folder (*.*.* will be the version

number on the actual ﬁle), and double-click the “setup.exe” ﬁle located in the “Installer” folder.

The DME Designer Combo Installer setup dialog window will appear on the display.

2Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.

The DME Designer will be installed ﬁrst, followed by the DME-N Network Driver.

If a previous version of the DME Designer and/or DME Network Driver exists on the computer, the older software will be

uninstalled before installation of the new software begins. After the older software has been uninstalled, you will be asked to

restart the computer. In this case the computer must be restarted before the installation process can continue. The installer

will automatically be re-launched and the installation will continue after the computer has been restarted.

The software will be installed in a “DME Designer” folder in the “Program Files\YAMAHA\OPT Tools” folder (default).

nRefer to the pdf-format DME Designer manual for operating instructions. The manual is not installed by the installer. Download the

manual separately from the “Downloads” page on the Yamaha Pro Audio website.

http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/

nDME Designer V3 cannot communicate with DME devices using ﬁrmware version 2 or earlier. If you are using DME Designer V3, be

sure to update the DME device ﬁrmware to the latest version that can be downloaded from Yamaha Pro Audio website.

http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/

nThe installer will launch automatically when the computer is restarted after the uninstall process, but in rare cases the installer may

be hidden by the task bar. In such cases click this icon to continue the installation.

DME Setup Manual 6

After connecting the computer to the DME unit via a USB cable, the Device Group and IP address for each DME

unit can be individually set from the DME Designer.

nThese parameters can also be set directly via the panel controls and displays of the DME64N and DME24N (page 19).

Device Group

When a system uses multiple DME units, the DME units can be controlled from the DME Designer application in

Device Groups. Since all devices in a group are controlled via the Device Group Master, one device in each group

must be assigned as the master device.

IP Address

All devices to be included in the same group must be assigned the same network address. The Device Group

Master is speciﬁed by its host address.

1While the DME power is off, connect the computer to the DME unit via a USB cable.

2Turn the DME power on.

3Click [Start] ➞[All Programs] ➞[YAMAHA OPT Tools] ➞[DME Designer] ➞[DME Designer] to launch the

DME Designer application.

DME port for the network settings.

2Master/Slave

Selects Device Group Master or Slave status.

Master: One device must be assigned as the Master in each Device Group.

Slave: All other DME devices in the group should be set to Slave.

nWhen DME64N/24N and DME Satellite units are combined in a Device Group, be sure to assign a DME Satellite unit as the Group

Master.

3IP Address

Set the IP addresses of the DME devices. All DME devices in the same Device Group must be set to the same network address.

nWhen only one DME device (Master) is used, set the IP address to “192.168.0.2”.

nThe subnet mask is ﬁxed at “255.255.255.0”.

nThe host address can be set from 2 to 253 for the Master device, and from 3 to 253 for Slaves.

nAlways use a private address (192.168.0.2. through 192.168.255.253) unless it is absolutely necessary to use a global address.

Consult with the network administrator if it is necessary to use a global address.

Network address Host address

DME Setup Manual 8

4Master ID

When a device is assigned as a Slave in Master/Slave (2) above, this sets the host address for the Master device in that

group. This parameter cannot be set for the Master device.

5Link Mode

Make sure that “100Base-TX” is selected.

10 If the system includes multiple DME devices, repeat the above settings for each individual device.

Refer to the DME manual for information on audio connection and further network connection details.

nIf you will be using CobraNet™ for audio connections, the required bundle numbers and related settings must be made via the DME

Designer application.

nIf you will be using EtherSound™ for audio connections, the routing and other EtherSound settings must be made via the AuviTran AVS-

ESMonitor software available from the AuviTran website:

http://www.auvitran.com/view.php?products_AVS-ESMonitor.php

Directly Connecting a Single DME Device to a Computer

When only one DME device is to be controlled, connect the device to the computer via a USB cable as described

in “DME Network Setup” on page 6.

Connecting Multiple DME Devices to a Computer in the Same Subnet

Connect multiple DME devices to the computer via a switching hub and Ethernet cables.

nIt is possible to connect the computer to the Device Group Master using a USB cable.It is also possible to connect the computer to a

Slave DME using a USB cable if a DME Satellite is assigned as the Device Group Master.

nUse a switching hub that is capable of 100Base-TX operation.

nThe maximum length of cables that can be used to connect DME units to a switching hub is 100 meters. Proper operation at this length,

however, will depend on the quality of the hub and cables used, and cannot be guaranteed.

nUse CAT5 STP (shielded twisted pair) type cable to maximize resistance to electromagnetic interference.
