Network Settings
Use DME Designer to specify the IP address, master/slave, and master ID settings as follows.
Setting the IP address
Each group of digits between periods in an IP address is called an “octet.” These groups of digits are called “1st
octet,” “2nd octet,” etc., starting from the left-most digit group.
You cannot specify 0, 127, or 223 through 255 for the 1st octet of the network address.
You can specify the following range of values for the 4th octet.
Master : 2-253
Slave : 3-253
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.
NOTE
•Subnet mask is fixed at 255.255.255.0.
• The network address of Gateway is the same as that of IP address. The host address of Gateway is automatically set to 254.
• Assign each of DME series units a unique IP address so that there are no duplicates. Assigning duplicate IP addresses may
cause serious network problems.
•You cannot make any network settings while using the DME Designer application on-line. To make network settings, first
set DME Designer off-line. Refer to the DME Designer Owner’s Manual for details.
•If you have connected a PM5D and a DME Satellite via CobraNet and are controlling the DME Satellite from the PM5D,
you must specify a value of 2 as the fourth octet of the group master DME Satellite’s IP address. However, if the PM5D is
version 2.20 or higher and the DME Satellite is version 3.07 or higher, you can set the parameter to any number.
NOTE
When using a DME Satellite together with the DME64N/24N, you must assign the DME Satellite (including the DME8i-
ES/DME8o-ES/DME4io-ES) as the master. If you assign the DME64N/24N as the device group master, you will be unable to
synchronize using DME Designer.
