1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing tm stagetec systems’s DIO device,
DIO stands for Dante ™ Input Output. We created the DIO
as the army knife for audio, with an impressive range of
tools and converters. It boasts a 2 port Ethernet switch (1x
1Gb Copper and 1x SFP cage - allowing for various fibre or
copper connections), Dante™ audio, AES Input and Output,
Mic Input, Line Input, Line Output, Headphone Output with
external volume control and 2 x GPIO. The DIO is powered
by PoE (Power over Ethernet) or runs via an external PSU.
Redundancy is provided between both power sources.
Please read this manual before attempting to operate your
new device to ensure reliable operation for years to come.
For any additional questions that are not addressed in this
document, feel free to contact tm stagetec systems directly.

3.1 WHAT‘S IN THE BOX
Start by removing the DIO from its shipping carton and
check it for possible damage. Also check whether all
accessories have been supplied.
Please be careful while unpacking as sharp edges may
cause injuries.
The shipping carton contains:
• DIO
• Power Supply
• Owner’s manual
If anything appears to be missing,
please contact tm stagetec systems.
3.2 INSTALLING
Install the DIO in the designated area. The casing has two
mounting holes in the side which will allow you to screw
or bolt it in wherever you wish. Please be aware that the
chosen installation location should be a dry area that is not
subjected to extreme heat and has suitable ventilation.
Never remove the outer casing of the DIO under any
circumstance. Doing so may compromise electrical safety
and mechanical protection. Be aware that any modifcation
to the unit will void warranty.

3.3 WIRING
Powering the device
Please use the supplied power supply to power the device by
connecting the phoenix connector to the power input of the
DIO. Be sure to follow all local safety regulations regarding
power connections.
Alternatively, if you have a switch with POE (Power Over
Ethernet) capabilities you may connect an ethernet cable
from the switch to Lan Port 1 on the DIO to power it.
Sockets/Interfaces
Now you are ready to establish all required connections.
The following sockets are provided:
• RJ45 ethernet connection (POE enabled)
• AES In/Out (RJ45)
• SFP cage for fibre or copper SFP
• 4 pin phoenix connector microphone input
• D25 connector (female)
SETTING UP

Page 11
Configuration of the DIO is performed via a web browser
individually for each device. Please read the following page
for information on how to configure the device.
Software
• Web browser – Internet Explorer 8 or later
• iOS – from 6.1.3 or later
• Safari – from 6.0.3 or later
• Firefox
If anything appears to be missing,
please contact tm stagetec systems.
To commission a DIO you may use two methods to login.
1. Power up the DIO and connect it to a computer via
ethernet or fibre. Check the default name from the label on
the DIO i.e. “DIOB-xxxxxx”. In a web browser, go to address
“http://DIO-B-XXXXXX.local” To login to the webpage, the
default password is “password“.
2. The Audinate Dante Controller software application is
required, which can be downloaded from the Audinate
website.
www.audinate.com/support/softwaredownload/
DanteController
The software detects all devices in the network
automatically, and shows the name as well as individual IP
addresses for each device. These are required in order to
configure the DIO via a web browser.
Changes that have been applied by using Dante Controller
will only be valid until restarting the device. In order to
change the settings permanently you should use the web
service to apply changes and save them or at least save
them in the web server after changing in Dante Controller.
Otherwise the device will fall back to the last saved setting
after rebooting. This is applies to e.g. crosspoints, device
names, channel names.

Please note:
DANTE™ allows you to build a redundant audio network
between devices. This feature has to be activated on the
respective devices (if available). If you decide to use a
redundant audio network there are special requirements to
consider:
• The device which does the configuration must be the
part of the primary network.
• Both networks must have the same link speed. If the
primary network offers a transmission speed of one
gigabit per sec, this must also be available on the
redundant network in order to facilitate automatic
switchover in case of failure.
• If a device is not to be connected with redundant links,
it should be used exclusively in the primary network.

SYSTEM General
Under the menu item SYSTEM General you can configure
following settings:
The name of the device can be edited in this window
The password can be changed
This shows the status of the device’s redundancy.
Please use the option below to change the status.
Change the desired status after reboot of device.
If set to Redundant LAN port 2 is used as the link to the
redundant network, isolated by VLAN.
If set to Switched both LAN interfaces have the same
functions and are linked directly to the internal switch.
Determines clock master.
Here the DIO can be defined as the master clock. If there
is no clock master defined, or several, the device with the
smallest MAC address becomes the clock master.
This determines the latency settings.

Select the VOX Mode.
Selecting the Route Mode will control which source goes
to the output. There is a gate in line with the VOX Source,
when the level is below the threshold the Analogue channel
1 source with be routed. If the VOX Source surpasses
the threshold, it will be routed to the output instead. Vox
Timeout defines the release time of the gate. Vox threshold
defines the Threshold of the gate. The dim option has no
effect in this mode.
When the Vox source surpasses the threshold it will dim
the Analogue output. You can define the release time,
threshold and dim level below.
This mode will mix the channel source and the Vox source.
You can control the level of each source below.
