Foreword Introduction to the DME Satellite About CobraNet Controls and Connectors Developed by Cirrus Logic, Inc., U.S., CobraNet technology allows real-time uncompressed digital audio distribution over industry-standard Fast Ethernet (100 megabits/sec.) networks. Up to 128 channels, 64 in each direction, can be carried simultaneously over a CobraNet network. (The number of channels available depends on the performance of the devices and the condition of audio signals.
Foreword Introduction to the DME Satellite Multicast and unicast bundles Introduction to the DME Satellite Controls and Connectors CobraNet bundles can be either multicast or unicast. Multicast bundles are transmitted from one device to multiple devices on the network (one-to-many). Unicast bundles are transmitted from one device to another (one-to-one). Unicast bundles are transmitted only when another device is configured to receive them by assigning the same bundle numbers.
Foreword Introduction to the DME Satellite NO T E Controls and Connectors One device on the CobraNet network works as the conductor (network sync master). All other CobraNet devices are performers (network sync slaves). Each device synchronizes its own internal clock to the beat packets (sync signals) transmitted by the conductor. The conductor device is chosen automatically and no user intervention is required.

Foreword Controls and Connectors Controls and Connectors Introduction to the DME Satellite 6 CobraNet [PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY] Connectors The DME Satellite features two CobraNet connectors for built-in redundancy: one for a primary network connection, another for a secondary or backup connection. If for some reason the primary connection fails (e.g., a cable is damaged, inadvertently disconnected, or a switching hub fails), the secondary connection automatically kicks in.
Foreword Connecting to a Computer USB Connection Introduction to the DME Satellite To connect multiple DME Satellite units to a network, you must assign appropriate IP addresses and make other network settings on all units. To achieve this, you need to connect the [USB] connector of one of the DME Satellite units to the USB port of the computer using USB cables, install USB-MIDI Driver and DME Designer on the computer, then assign the IP addresses to the DME Satellite units from DME Designer.
Foreword Connecting to a Computer Network Settings Setting the IP address Host Address Master and slave setting Each device group must have one master. All other devices in the group are assigned as slave. The fourth octet of a slave DME Satellite’s master ID must be the same value as the fourth octet of the group master DME Satellite’s IP address.
Foreword Connecting to a Computer Ethernet Connection ([NETWORK] Connector) To control the DME Satellite from the computer via Ethernet, use an Ethernet cable to connect the [NETWORK] connector on the rear panel of the DME Satellite to the computer, then install DME-N Network Driver.
