Supplemental notes for the DME64N/DME24N and the included
CD-ROM (Version 1.1)
Thank you for purchasing the DME64N/24N. The following notes supplement the information in the Owner’s Manual
about DME64N/DME24N and the included CD-ROM.
For information on changes to DME Designer, see the “DME Designer Version 1.1 Owner’s Manual.”
■ The default gateway IP address is changed.
In Version 1.0, the default IP gateway address was ***.***.***.1, but in Version 1.1, the address is changed to ***.***.***.254.
Consequently, while the zone slave IP addresses in Version 1.0 were ***.***.***.3 through ***.***.***.254, they have changed
in Version 1.1 to ***.***.***.3 through ***.***.***.253.
Example: A single zone is composed of four DME units
The explanation in this example is based on both the zone and computer sharing the following IP address pattern:
“192.168.000.***.”
If you will be following the instructions in “Controlling from a Computer That Has the Same Network Address” on page 26 of
the “DME64N/24N Owner’s Manual,” you will need to make some changes to the network settings of your computer in
addition to the DME-N Network settings described on page 4 of the “DME Designer Installation Guide.”
For the first DME, “192.168.000.2” is set as the zone master IP address.
*1
For the second DME, “192.168.000.3” is set as a zone slave IP address.
*2
For the third DME, “192.168.000.4” is set as a zone slave IP address.
*2
For the fourth DME, “192.168.000.5” is set as a zone slave IP address.
*2
For the computer, “192.168.000.001” is set as the IP address.
*3
“255.255.255.0” is set as the subnet mask.
If the default gateway is not connected to an external network, there is no setting. If connected to an external network, set
“192.168.000.254”.
*4
Allow all TCP ports in TCP/IP filtering.
If you are using Windows XP, disable the Internet connection firewall setting.
*1 There are two zone master host addresses.
*2 Any address between 3 and 253 is a zone slave host address.
*3 For the IP address set on the PC, you can select host address 1 or 3 through 253, as long the one you set does not duplicate a DME
address.
*4 The gateway host addresses is fixed as 254.
Upgrade Cautions
• The following data will not be reflected in Version 1.1 when it is used to read data created in Version 1.01 and earlier:
MIDI / GPI / USERDEFINE
Remake these settings in DME Designer Version 1.1.
• When upgrading from Version 1.0 to Version 1.1, all DME64N/24N firmware and components in the area, along with DME
Designer, must be upgraded to Version 1.1 simultaneously.
• The same applies if a Version 1.1 DME64N/24N is added to an existing area that was built using Version 1.0. All DME64N/24N
firmware and components, along with DME Designer, must be upgraded simultaneously.
• Make sure you perform firmware, component and DME Designer upgrades using the same CD-ROM.
• For instructions on performing the version upgrade, see “DME Firmware Update” in Chapter 3 “Main Panel Window” of the “DME
Designer Version 1.1 Owner’s Manual.”
•To use the DME CONTROL function on the PM5D, the PM5D must be version 1.12 or later, and connected DME64N/24N units
must be version 1.1 or later.
• For details about DME CONTROL function settings in the PM5D, see the “PM5D/PM5D-RH Owner’s Manual.”
