DirectOut Technologies® CHAPTER 3: Installation Network integration To set up your D.O.TEC® M.1k2 initially (or after a reset) you need a working IP connection with the controller of the device. The M.1k2 is delivered with a fixed IP address. So first you will have to change the network settings of your computer to setup the IP connection. An online wizard will guide through all necessary steps then. For some basics about networking see page 26.
DirectOut Technologies® CHAPTER 4: Operation CHAPTER 4: Operation Introduction This chapter describes the basic operation of the device. Note that throughout this manual, the abbreviation FS refers to sample rate or sample frequency. So, when dealing with scaling factors, the following sample rates can be written as: • 44.1 kHz = 1 FS; 88.2 kHz = 2 FS ; 176 kHz = 4 FS or • 48 kHz = 1 FS; 96 kHz = 2 FS; 192 kHz = 4 FS Global Control The control on the right of the front panel indicates the power supply.
DirectOut Technologies® CHAPTER 4: Operation Device State & RESET As most of the system information is available in the GUI (or a telnet shell) only, the basic system state is indicated by the LED “STATE”. If the device can’t be reached via network an emergency recovery may be executed using the RESET button (see „Appendix A“ on page 22). STATE LED (green) indicates current system state.
DirectOut Technologies® CHAPTER 4: Operation User data (Serial, MIDI, GPO) For remote application and signalling purposes there are connection possibilities for RS 232 / 422 / 485, MIDI and General Purpose Output (GPO). Serial signals can be routed either by using userbits1 of a MADI frame. 4 GPOs can be triggered manually or automatically by a system event. RS 232 DSUB-9 socket (male) Connect RS 232 signal here. Observe the correct pin assignment.
DirectOut Technologies® CHAPTER 4: Operation Clocking The M.1k2 may use a variety of clock sources: internal (44.1 kHz / 48 kHz), word clock, video (PAL / NTSC) or a specific MADI input port. The system may be operated with one clock source only or may use different clock sources at a time (PolySync™). That means that one can use a bunch of ports with clock source ‘A’ while another portion is clocked by clock source ‘B’. The selected clock source is output at both word clock outputs.
DirectOut Technologies® CHAPTER 4: Operation Remote Operation The M.1k2 may be controlled via an ethernet connection or serial data input. Ethernet RJ45 socket Connection for ethernet control Requires a standard CAT5 cable for connection with ethernet network (100 mbit/s). USB USB socket USB connection for virtual serial port. Requires a standard USB cable (Type B). To use the USB port as virtual serial port the D.O.TEC USB driver1 (Windows 7, Vista, XP) has to be installed on the computer first.

DirectOut Technologies® Appendix D Appendix D How to - Network The following guide aims to familiarize with basic information to setup a TCP-IP network. Some terms and techniques are explained to conduct you through the first steps. Terms IP Address - Address of a device within your local network. Must be unique. Example: 192.168.74.15 or 10.0.0.24 Gateway - Address of the network router. When connecting only two devices ‘peer to peer’, use the ip address of one device if it is needed to be declared.
DirectOut Technologies® Appendix D In a network environment each device (computer, printer, D.O.TEC® M.1k2…) needs its own and unique IP address. This can be achieved by a manual setup or by using a DHCP server within a network. The use of a DHCP may ease up the administration of a network. However, if fixed and known addresses are a need, it is helpful to set up a network manually. Example 1 - Peer to Peer IP Adress: 10.0.0.20 Network Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 10.0.0.20 DNS: 8.8.8.8 IP Adress: 10.
