DME Setup Manual 1
Version 3.8
This manual describes the process of setting up a DME system, from making the initial DME processor
settings (DME64N / DME24N / DME8i-C / DME8o-C / DME4io-C / DME8i-ES / DME8o-ES / DME4io-ES) to
synchronizing with the DME Designer application installed on a computer.
n In this document the term “DME” will refer to the DME64N, DME24N, DME8i-C, DME8o-C, DME4io-C, DME8i-ES, DME8o-ES
and DME4io-ES, while the term “DME Satellite” will refer only to the DME8i-C, DME8o-C, DME4io-C, DME8i-ES, DME8o-ES and
DME4io-ES.
n For details about the DME units refer to the manual supplied with the specific device, and for details about the DME Designer
application refer to the pdf-format DME Designer manual.
n If you will be using CobraNet™ for audio connections, the required bundle numbers and related settings must be made via the
DME Designer application.
n If you will be using EtherSound™ for audio connections, the routing and other EtherSound settings must be made via the
AuviTran AVSESMonitor software available from the AuviTran website:
http://www.auvitran.com/
DME Designer cannot be used to upgrade DME firmware version 3.5 or earlier to version 3.8 or later (this
does not apply to the SP2060 or ICP1). Contact your Yamaha dealer or service center for this type of
upgrade.
DME Designer cannot be used to downgrade DME firmware version 3.8 or later to version 3.5 or earlier
(this does not apply to the SP2060 or ICP1). Contact your Yamaha dealer or service center for this type of
downgrade.
DME firmware versions 3.8 or later cannot be written using DME Designer version 3.5 or earlier.
When DME units running firmware version 3.5 or earlier and DME or DME Satellite units running firmware
versions 3.8 or later are combined in the same device group, DME units running firmware version 3.5 or
earlier cannot be designated as the group master.

Connecting a single DME unit directly to a computer via USB cable
This section covers the most basic configuration – that is, using a single computer to control a single DME unit.
1 Preparation
Before launching DME Designer, it is critical that the DME unit is turned on and then connected to the computer
using a USB cable.
1-1 Once the DME unit has been connected, launch DME Designer.
When DME Designer is launched a new project is created and a new zone is displayed in the designer
window.
1-2 Place the desired DME unit in the designer window.

from the Main Panel window to display
the “Communication Port” dialog box.
5-2 When the “Communication Port”
dialog box is displayed, ensure that the
Tx, Rx, and Device Group settings are
as shown below. When “No Assign” is
selected for Port 1, click the item and
select an appropriate option from the
list that appears.
n If the appropriate option list does not appear
even though the USB-MIDI driver is installed,
check that the DME unit is properly connected
to the computer.
5-3
Click the [On-line] button from the Main
Panel window.

that the DME unit is properly connected to the
computer.
5-5 Click the [Go On-line] button.
5-6 When the Sync Direction window is
displayed, ensure that [DME Designer
-> Device] is selected, and then click
the [OK] button.
5-7 In response to the prompt,
“Synchronizing will cause audio to
mute. Is this OK?”, click the [Yes]
button.
5-8 When writing has been completed, the
message, “Saving the Designer file
after synchronization will enhance the
speed of the next synchronization. Do
you want to save now?” will be
displayed. If you want to save the file,
click the [Yes] button.
5-9 After returning to the Synchronization
window, click the [Close] button.

DME Setup Manual 12
6 Checking sound output
In the case of DME24N, DME8i-C, DME4io-C, DME-
8i-ES or DME4io-ES units, appropriate HA control
settings must be made prior to checking the
system’s sound output.
6-1 Right-click the [Analog Input]
component and select [Open HA
Editor] from the drop-down menu.
An “Analog” dialog box that allows head amp
settings will appear.
By default, the gain is set to +10 dBu (i.e.,
the lowest possible gain).
6-2 Adjust the sensitivity to the correct
level for the connected audio
equipment.
n 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.

Connecting multiple DME units to a computer via Ethernet cables
In the following two 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).
When the distance between the DME unit and computer is too great for a USB connection.
n 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.
Setting example
n When multiple DME units are being used, the DME units are controlled in “device groups.” Since all DME units in a device group
are controlled via the group’s master DME unit, one DME unit in each group must be designated as the group master.
n When DME64N/24N units running firmware version 3.5 or earlier and DME64N/24N or DME Satellite units running firmware
versions 3.8 or later are combined in the same device group, DME64N/24N units running firmware version 3.5 or earlier cannot
be designated as the group master.
n The device group master DME unit can be connected to the computer via a USB cable. Slave DME units can be connected to
the group master via USB cables.
n Use a network switch that is capable of 100Base-TX operation.
n The maximum length of cables that can be used to connect DME units to a network switch is 100 meters. Proper operation at
this length, however, will depend on the quality of the network switch and cables used, and cannot be guaranteed.
n Use CAT5 STP (shielded twisted pair) type cable to maximize resistance to electromagnetic interference.
n If you are using multiple DME series units, set Link Mode on each unit to the same setting. Yamaha recommends that you select
100Base-TX for the Link Mode setting.

DME Network Settings
Before making the DME network connections, set the device group and IP address for each DME unit from
DME Designer via a USB connection.
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.
n T
he same driver can be used for multiple DME units of the same type (DME64N, DME24N, DME Satellite). A common USB driver
can be used for multiple DME Satellite units.
n If using a DME64N or DME24N, setting can be performed directly via the front display (page 21). ICP1 settings can be made via
the unit’s control panel. Refer to “ICP1 settings and operation” of the DME Designer V3.8 Owner’s Manual.
1 Connect the computer to the DME unit via a USB cable, then turn the DME unit power ON.
2 Click the [Communication Port] button from the Main Panel window to display the
“Communication Port” dialog box.

n The subnet mask is fixed at “255.255.255.0”.
n The host address can be set from 2 to 253 for the Master device, and from 3 to 253 for Slaves.
n
Always 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.
n 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.)

In-depth Information on DME Units
Tips
Check Input Signals via the GPI Page
Signals received at the GPI IN terminals can be monitored in real time via the Utility screen GPI page on the
DME64N/24N control panel display, or via the DME Designer Utility dialog box GPI monitor. If the DME unit is not
responding properly even though the appropriate signals are being received at the GPI IN terminals, there may be
a problem with the DME settings. If there is no problem with the DME settings there may be a problem with the
DME unit itself.
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.
