DNT Digital Processor

LECTROSONICS, INC.

To conﬁgure the network interface, connect to the

device via USB and click on Device Settings -> Net-

work. The Network Settings dialog box will open.

Each DNT device has a unique IP address, but offers

two TCP ports at this address, the Primary port and

the Secondary port. The TCP Port number in the

dialog box is the Primary port number. The Secondary

port number is the Primary port number + 1, which in

this example is 4081.

DHCP is supported. If the device is connected to a net-

work with DHCP service and DHCP Enable is checked

in the control panel window, the IP address, Net Mask

and Default Gateway address will be automatically

obtained when the device is powered up.

If DHCP is not used, then DHCP Enable is unchecked

and a “static” IP address, Net Mask and Default Gate-

way address must be entered.

Consult with the network administrator or system de-

signer to determine the proper settings for each DNT

device in the network.

NOTES: The default TCP Port number is 4080.

To avoid conﬂicts with other devices on the

network, it should not be changed.

The MAC Address is assigned at the factory and

cannot be changed.

When network settings are changed, the device

must be powered down then back up for the new

settings to take effect.

The Dante network audio I/O ports connect to network

switches. Multiple DNT processors can also be con-

nected directly to each other through these ports when

the units are operating in the Switched mode. See

Mandatory Settings on page 8 for details on selecting

this mode.

The USB port is used primarily for setup and ﬁrmware

updates.

Hard-wired pots can be wired directly to the logic con-

trol port on the rear panel to provide volume controls

Hard-wired switches can be wired to the logic control

port on the rear panel for muting, incremental changes

in volume or to activate macros.

Hardware Connections

Installing the chassis into a rack

Install the chassis so that the cooling fan vent is not

blocked. Mount with 4 rack screws using the appropri-

ate mounting holes. Use nylon washers to prevent

damage to the front panel’s ﬁnish when tightening the

mounting screws.

DNT rack mount processors have internal switching

power supplies that can tolerate voltages ranging from

100 to 240 VAC. Use an approved power cord with an

IEC 60320 C13 connector.

Connecting via USB for the First Time

NOTE: Install DNT USB drivers before

connecting a processor.

The computer operating system will automatically de-

tect and conﬁgure a USB port for the processor when

it is connected and turned on the ﬁrst time. Wait for the

screen message that advises that the new device has

been conﬁgured and is ready for use.

Setup and Control Port Connections

Numerous options are available for setup and control

using a variety of devices and interfaces.

Ethernet

USB

RS-232

CCW

+5VGnd

10K

Linear

Pot

Logic

Gnd

Logic

These interfaces combined with a powerful macro

language and simultaneous multi-point control provide

outstanding ﬂexibility to adapt to the speciﬁc require-

ments of almost any application.

The RS-232 serial control port is a common interface

with LCD touch panel control systems such as Crest-

ron

and AMX

. The wiring diagram for DB-9 con-

nectors is shown on the next page. The baud rate is

adjustable using the DNT Control Panel Software.

The Ethernet network control port is used with the

control panel software for setup, monitoring, control

and diagnostics. It does not transport audio. The Eth-

ernet port is also used with third party control devices

such as LCD touch panels.
