DigitalMedia Switchers Crestron DM-MD8X8/16X16/32X32 Ethernet Setup DigitalMedia switchers are designed to control the Ethernet settings of lightweight DM devices around them in order to reduce the amount of IP configuration necessary and make the certain DM devices swappable without reconfiguration. IP Configuration DigitalMedia switchers have the ability to operate in DHCP or Static IP address mode.
Crestron DM-MD8X8/16X16/32X32 DigitalMedia Switchers Installation Ventilation The DM switcher should be used in a well-ventilated area. The venting holes should not be obstructed under any circumstances. To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds the environmental temperature range listed in the table of specifications. Consider using forced air ventilation and/or increasing the spacing between units to reduce overheating.

Crestron DM-MD8X8/16X16/32X32 DigitalMedia Switchers Uploading and Upgrading Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each device contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features. However, before attempting to upload or upgrade it is necessary to establish communication. Once communication has been established, files (for example, programs or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or device).
DigitalMedia Switchers Crestron DM-MD8X8/16X16/32X32 NOTE: Use the Device Discovery Tool in Crestron Toolbox to detect all Ethernet devices on the network and their IP configuration. The tool is available in Toolbox version 1.15.143 or later. 3. Confirm Ethernet connections between the DM switcher and PC. If connecting through a hub or router, use CAT5 straight through cables with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors.
Crestron DM-MD8X8/16X16/32X32 DigitalMedia Switchers Edit the control system’s IP table to include an entry for the DM switcher. The entry should list the DM switcher’s IP ID (specified on the DM switcher’s IP table) and the internal gateway IP address 127.0.0.1. DM Tool In the Crestron Toolbox Address Book, select the DM switcher. Then use the DM Tool to configure EDID, HDCP or to troubleshoot AV on the DM switcher. Refer to the help file for additional information. DM Tool Operations Guide – DOC.
DigitalMedia Switchers Crestron DM-MD8X8/16X16/32X32 Operation Operating Modes A DM switcher can operate in the Route mode, the View mode, or the Info mode.
