Connecting
DP2000s and DMX Processor
8000s
- If
connecting one DP to your console,
connect it via a
CROSSOVER Cat-5 Ethernet cable.
- If you are connecting multiple DPs, then connect the
console and all DPs to a network switch using patch
(non-crossover) cables.
Once your DP is connected and the show is launched, the console will
check the DP's software
version. If they do not match, the console will prompt you to
upgrade the DP to match the desk. Simply follow the prompts
on the console and the console will upgrade the DP.
There's a lot more to setting up a compatible network with DP's.
I have an online tutorial and PDF available that will give
you
instructions on how to configure a variety of networks based on whether
you are using a single or multiple DPs, a switch or a router.
