For the latest information about DME Designer System Requirements, visit the Yamaha Pro Audio website: http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ Troubleshooting & Tips Precaution regarding USB ports and driver installation On computers featuring multiple USB ports, drivers are installed individually for each port. After installation, therefore, if connection is made via a port other than that originally used, it will be necessary to install the driver once again. To avoid this, either set a dedicated port for DME connection in advance or install the driver on all of your computer's ports. It is also important to note that USB drivers differ depending on the model of DME used. Although the same driver can be used for multiple DME units of the same model, different models – such as the DME64N and DME24N – require different USB drivers. (To be exact, the USB drivers themselves are identical, but the INF files used upon installation differ.) 1-2-5 Click the[Browse]button. Locate the downloaded and extracted “Driver” folder and click [OK].Click [Next] to start the installation process. Avoid USB hubs As is often the case with digital mixers, your computer may not recognize the DME unit if connected via a USB hub. In principle, therefore, connection should be made directly to one of your computer's built-in USB ports. 03  1. Installing the Software 2. Basic Setup 3.

Advanced Setup (via USB cable) (via Ethernet cables) 4. In-depth information on DME Units Appendix: Detailed DME-N Network Driver Settings Note 2-6. Checking sound output The level displayed by [Gain] is the sensitivity level to be matched. As the sensitivity of most professional audio equipment (using XLR connectors) is +4 dBu, the level shown by [Gain] should be set to "4" in such a case. When using input from microphones or other similar sources, turn the dial clockwise to adjust the input volume to a suitable level. Specifically, it is recommended that the level shown by the input meter be peaking at around -18 dB. In the case of models with head amps, it will be necessary to configure HA control before sound output from the system can be checked.Right-click the [Analog Input] icon and select [Open HA Editor] from the drop-down menu. Right-click Troubleshooting & Tips Host setting from the MIDI page on the hardware's Utility Display The MIDI Setup page from the hardware's Utility Display contains a Host option, and if this is set to "USB-1" or "USB-2", MIDI data will also be exchanged via USB. In certain cases, this can make it impossible to connect successfully with DME Designer using a USB cable; accordingly, these settings should be avoided. Problem: The DME unit does not operate correctly in response to control from your computer via USB. Possible cause #1 and corrective action: DME Designer was launched before connecting the USB cable and turning on the DME unit. Ensure that the USB cable is connected and the DME unit is turned on before launching DME Designer. Possible cause #2 and corrective action: The USB-MIDI Driver Thru ON/OFF parameter is not set to “OFF”. Select [Start] → [Control Panel] → [Yamaha USB-MIDI Driver] and ensure that the [Thru ON/OFF] parameter is set to “OFF”. Possible cause #3 and corrective action: The same USB ports have been selected for DME Designer and other MIDI applications. Change port settings so that DME Designer and the other MIDI applications use different ports. Possible cause #4 and corrective action: The number of registered MIDI devices exceeds the Windows limit. The Windows operating system allows a maximum of 10 MIDI device drivers to be installed and registered. In certain cases, connecting a device to a different USB port can lead to it being recognized as a different device, thereby “artificially” exceeding the limit. If MIDI does not function properly, therefore, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the USB-MIDI driver. Possible cause #5 and corrective action: Your USB-MIDI driver is not the most up-to-date version supported by DME. Download and install the most up-to-date USB-MIDI driver from the Yamaha website (http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/) By default, the gain is set to +10 dBu (i.e., the lowest possible level). Adjust the sensitivity to the correct level for the connected audio equipment. 07  1. Installing the Software 2. Basic Setup 3. Advanced Setup (via USB cable) (via Ethernet cables) 4. In-depth information on DME Units Appendix: Detailed DME-N Network Driver Settings 3. Advanced Setup Connecting multiple DME units to a computer via Ethernet cables When to connect via Ethernet cables: Note In the following three cases, a USB cable should not be used to connect your computer and DME units for actual operation; instead, you should make the necessary connections via Ethernet cables. • Two or more DME units are to be controlled in a single device group (using a Network switch). • Long cables are needed for connection. • The computer and DME unit(s) are to be connected wirelessly. If a company or office network is to be used for this purpose, it will be necessary to switch back and forth between the DME network and the regular network. In such a case, we recommend connection via USB or the use of a commercially-available Ethernet/USB interface. For the purpose of explanation, we will make the following settings. This section will demonstrate how to make settings for the following sample configuration. It is important to remember, however, that devices should never be connected until the required settings have been made. Device Group Group Master DME4io-C (IP Address: 192.168.000.002) Computer (IP Address: 192.168.000.001) Ethernet cable Ethernet straight cable Network Switch Ethernet cable Ethernet straight cable Note DME8o-C (IP Address: 192.168.000.003) DME64N (IP Address: 192.168.000.004) A Group Master device must be set for the device group, with all other devices in the group set as slaves. Furthermore, if the DME network contains one or more DME satellites, it is recommended that one of the DME satellites be set as the Group Master. 3-1. DME setup Assign an IP address to the DME unit using DME Designer connected via USB. * By default, all DME units are assigned the IP address 192.168.000.002. Please ensure that the USB-MIDI driver has been installed before proceeding. * The same USB-MIDI driver can be used with DME satellites. Note Each DME unit to be networked must be assigned an IP address,and this is done either by connecting a PC via USB to one device at a time(described here). If using a DME64N or DME24N, setting can be performed directly via the front display(see page 13). USB cable Do not connect the devices in a network until the IP addresses have been set. To set the IP addresses,connect PC to each device in turn,using a USB cable. 08  1. Installing the Software 2. Basic Setup 3. Advanced Setup (via USB cable) (via Ethernet cables) 4. In-depth information on DME Units Appendix: Detailed DME-N Network Driver Settings DME4io-C Settings Note The computer can be connected 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. Setup ports as shown below. Click The next step is to make slave settings. In the same way as described above in (1) DME setup, display the Network Setup window. DME8o-C Select [Slave] in the Master/Slave area of the Network Setup window for both the DME8o-C and the DME64N. Select [Network Setup] from the [Hardware] menu on the Main Panel window DME64N Select [100Base-TX] in the Link Mode area of the Network Setup window for both the DME8o-C and the DME64N. Click [Utility] to display the Utility window and then click the [Network] tab * For now, the default settings for the DME4io-C can be used as is. Click the [OK] button to proceed. * Although an error will be displayed on DME units at this time, it can be ignored. (This message is output due to group settings not yet having been made.) Note 1. Ensure that the switch is capable of 100Base-TX operation. 2. Cables used to connect DME units to a network switch can be up to 100 meters in length. Correct operation at this upper-limit length cannot, however, be guaranteed and will depend on the quality of the hub and cables used. 3. Be sure to use Cat 5 shielded twisted-pair cables in order to maximize resistance to electromagnetic interference. 09  1. Installing the Software 2. Basic Setup 3.

In-depth information on DME Units Appendix: Detailed DME-N Network Driver Settings 3-5. Connecting with DME Designer Note In our example, the IP addresses of the first, second, and third devices are 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3, and 192.168.0.4, respectively. Accordingly, the last digit from [Detect from] should be set to 2 or lower, and the last digit from [Detect to] should be set to 4 or higher. (Please note that sorting may take a certain amount of time to complete if the search range is too large.) Launch DME Designer and place each of the currently connected devices in the configuration. Drag and drop Set the range of IP addresses to be sorted. Although the range in this case is 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.4, we can select with the default settings. Double-click Once a configuration has been setup, create at least one scene. Click the [Port] button. In the Port dialog box, ensure that settings are as shown below and then click the [OK] button. Next, click the [On-line] button from the Main Panel window Click "Select IP Address", ensure that the IP addresses for all devices are displayed, and then click the [Go On-Line] button. When the Sync Direction window is displayed, ensure that [DME Designer -> Device] is selected, and then click the [OK] button. Select using the checkbox, and then When all devices have been displayed as shown below, select [Save and Close] to complete the procedure. Although the IP addresses for all connected DME units will be shown, a checkmark should only be placed next to that for the master device. When this IP address has been selected, click [Add to Device List]. NOTE: If multiple device groups have been set up, use the [Device Group] drop-down menu to select the one to be synchronized. * You can change the device name by, for example, entering "DME4io-C" into the [UNIT1] field and then clicking the [Apply] button. 11  1. Installing the Software 2. Basic Setup 3. Advanced Setup (via USB cable) (via Ethernet cables) 4. In-depth information on DME Units Appendix: Detailed DME-N Network Driver Settings Troubleshooting & Tips Over-the-counter security software If antivirus, anti-spyware, or any other type of Internet security application is installed on your computer, its firewall may block the DME-N Network Driver, making connection and remote operation of the DME unit impossible. Care should also be taken with regard to compatibility with peer-to-peer applications and other communication software remaining constantly on in the background. Problem: A compile error occurs during synchronization. Possible cause #1 and corrective action: DSP total resource consumption has exceeded the upper limit. Delete unneeded components. In addition, it may be possible to ensure that compilation will be completed normally even when total DSP resource consumption increases by replacing some components with others using fewer resources or by dividing the processing load between such components. Possible cause #2 and corrective action: Wiring between components is connected from multiple output terminals to a single input. Change the wiring configuration so that each output is connected to a single input terminal. If necessary, a matrix mixer or similar component can be used to combine multiple outputs into one signal. PC power-saving options With laptops, certain power saving options can result in network communication being automatically turned off, which would lead to disconnection of the DME unit if online at the time. Should you become aware of this type of behavior, please check your power saving options. Cables for computer connection (one-to-one) The DME64N and DME24N can be connected using a crossover cable or a switch. DME Satellite units can be connected using a straight-through cable, a crossover cable, or a switch. Problem: A component or wiring cannot be added. Possible cause #1 and corrective action: DME Designer is online. Go offline by clicking [Go Off-line] in the Synchronization window. Possible cause #2 and corrective action: The Designer Window is not in Edit Mode. Place a checkmark next to [Edit] on the [Tool] menu. Possible cause #3 and corrective action: The current user is restricted from editing. Logoff and then logon again as a new user or as the Administrator. (If edit restrictions must be applied to a user, set the option [Edit] in the Security window.) Wireless network Over-the-counter wireless network access points can be used to establish connections with laptops featuring wireless functionality. A good understanding of network will be required in order to do so, and the access point's user manual should be referenced for setting-related details. Problem: A user module is no longer displayed on the list. Possible cause and corrective action: The contents folder ([File] menu → [Preference] → [ContentsFolder]) has been changed, or the “User Module” folder has been moved. Ensure that the user module files (.umf) are in the "ContentsFolder" and "User Module" folders. Word-clock settings When a new file is created using DME Designer, the word clock is set to "INT48k" by default. In systems where the DME unit operates as a word-clock slave, it will be necessary to change this word-clock setting before going online. If the DME unit were to be brought online with the default setting unchanged, it would not be word-clock locked with the other units in the system, resulting in audible clicking and possibly damage to the other units. Whenever possible, it is recommended that clock settings be made using DME Designer. Problem: Configurations cannot be switched in the Navigator window. Possible cause and corrective action: While online, it is not possible to switch to a configuration that does not match the current scene. Switch to a scene corresponding to the required configuration. DME initialization In certain cases, DME initialization can prove effective in resolving problems. In particular, this approach is useful if a DME device freezes upon scene recall (either during startup or when connected online). *: Take care to avoid selecting option 02 (Delete All Data), as this will result in the DME device's firmware also being deleted. It will not then be possible to use the device until the firmware is reinstalled. For details regarding initialization, please refer to the Owner's Manualthat came with your DME device(s). Specifically, this information can be found in the section "Initializing the DME64N/DME24N" of the DME64N/DME24N manual, or in the section "Initializing the DME Satellite" of manuals for DME satellites. Problem: A User Module window does not open when the user module is double-clicked. Possible cause and corrective action: The user module in question has been saved with [Open User Module Design Window] selected. Open the save dialog, select [Open User Module Editor], and resave the user module. Problem: An editor is not displayed when a slot-in component is right-clicked and [Open] is selected from its context menu. Possible cause and corrective action: The slot-in component in question does not have an editor. No corrective action is required. Problem: The message “Reset Config…” is displayed for a long time in the message area of the Synchronization window. Possible cause and corrective action: Processing may take time when many scenes have been setup, and therefore, this display is not indicative of a problem. Allow processing to finish normally. Using the Analyze function After a configuration has been created using DME Designer, we recommend that the Analyze function be used to check it. Please note that this function is the only way to fully determine the viability of a design – that is to say, operation cannot be guaranteed using the Resource Meter alone. It is important, therefore, that the Analyze function always be used to perform a final check. Problem: The monitor output cannot be set. (Applies to the DME64N and DME24N only.) Possible cause and corrective action: Channels connected by wiring cannot be used for monitor output. Select a channel not connected in this way. Automatic backup function and going online If the [Store Project File into DME after synchronization] option at the bottom left of the Synchronization window is not cleared when going online and synchronizing with DME Designer version 3 or later, DME Designer will create a backup of the computer's current data (.daf) within the DME unit's memory after going online. Please note that if Wave files are being used, synchronization can take at least twice as long as usual. Furthermore, if your original project file is accidentally deleted or lost, synchronization with DME devices will no longer be possible. For safety's sake, therefore, it is advisable that a backup be made and that the [Store Project File into DME after synchronization] item from the Synchronization window or the DME File Storage item from the [File] menu be used to store a copy of this file also on the DME device(s). 12  1.

In-depth Information on DME Units Connecting to External Devices Optional Extras 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. • Connection via Ethernet Intelligent Control Panel ICP1 • Connection via General Purpose Interface (GPI) Control Panel CP4SF, Control Panel CP1SF, or Control Panel CP4SW ICP1 Tips 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 problems after configuration as being within the GPI device, within the connections, 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- CP4SF CP1SF CP4SW 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. Setting up DME64N/24N Networks via Panel Operations Device group and IP address settings for DME64N and DME24N units can be made directly via their front panels as follows. 1. Turn on the DME64N/24N. • 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. 2 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. 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. 3 4 • 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. 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. 6. Press the [HOME] key to return and save your changes. 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.
