Configuring via DM Config
DM Config is an advanced tool for configuring the DV-IP. It can be used to easily set-up the
unit on a Network. This method is an alternative to the Terminal method above. Ensure
HyperTerminal is not open if you are using DM Config.
Warning: When using DM Config, care should be taken not to change settings beyond those
indicated below. Changing other values may impair the function of the unit, or cause it to
function improperly.
DM Config can be found on the CD-ROM that came with your DV-IP, in the DM Config folder.
It can be set-up using its installation programme (dmconfig***.exe, where *** is a version
number). Once you have installed the software, please follow the steps below to configure
your DV-IP using DM Config:
1. Launch DM Config
2. Load the
DVIPinitv1.c
fg file from the CD
In the
File
menu, select Open Configuration file, and open the
DVIPinitv1.cfg
file found
on the DV-IP CD in the DMConfig folder
3. In the
Comms
menu, set the Comms Type to Serial(RS232)
4. In the
Comms
menu, select the option Connect to device(serial)
This will connect to the DV-IP. If you cannot connect, ensure that you have the RS232
lead connected to the correct serial port on both your PC and the DV-IP (The lead should
be connected to Com 4 on the DV-IP). Note - Some laptops may not initialise the serial
port correctly if you attach the lead before starting up the laptop.

change the User Name, you will need a new unlock code to restore the unit’s functionality.

obtained from the IT/Network Manager – IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway
respectively.
