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.
2 Press the [HOME] button to display the
main screen.
3 Press and hold the [UTILITY] button for
at least 2 seconds to display the Utility
screen.

until the Net page appears.
5 Use the [U] and [D] buttons to move the

and press the [ENTER] button.
The corresponding editing dialog will appear.
Set each of the following parameters as
described and press the [ENTER] button each
time to confirm and enter the settings.
1 Master/Slave
This parameter sets device-group master or
slave status.
One DME unit must be assigned as the master
in each device group. All other DME units in the
group should be set to slave.
2 IP Address
Set the IP addresses of the DME devices. All
DME devices in the same Device Group must be
set to the same network address.
n When only one DME unit (Master) is used, the IP
address should be set to “192.168.0.2”.
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.
3 Master ID
When a device is assigned as a Slave in Master/
Slave (
1 ) above, this sets the host address for
the Master device in that group. This parameter
cannot be set for the Master device.
4 Link Mode
Ensure that “100Base-TX” is selected for this
parameter.
6 Press the [HOME] button to return and
