Extron electronic DMP 128 Stereo System User Manual


 
Tools
The Tools menu contains the following items and sub-menu:
• Presets — Provides three options:
• Mark All Items — Mark (select) all parts of the current
configuration (excluding presets), including processors and
mix-points to save as a partial preset.
• Save Preset — Save the currently marked processors, and
mix-points as a partial preset.
• Clear Marked Items — Unmark (deselect) all parts of the
current configuration (excluding presets), including processors
and mix-points.
• Protected Configuration — Live mode only. Allows a user
(typically the installer) to save and recall a protected configuration.
The protected configuration is useful to establish the parameters and values (with the
exception of the device IP address) in a known state, either as a troubleshooting tool or as
a baseline configuration. The protected configuration, once saved in the device, is always
present and cannot be overwritten without entering a user-defined Personal Identification
Number (PIN) password. The protected configuration is restored without a PIN.
NOTE: The default PIN is 0000.
• Save — Save the current configuration (excluding presets), including processors and
mixes as a password protected configuration. The DSPConfigurator program prompts for
a PIN to save.
• Recall Recall the protected configuration.
• Change PIN — Change the PIN associated with the protected configuration.
• Configure Digital I/O — Opens a utility to configure digital I/O ports. The DMP128 provides
twenty digital I/O ports that may be used to trigger external events from DMP128 actions, or
for external events to trigger DMP actions (see “DigitalI/OPorts” on page88).
• Connect to / Disconnect from Device (depending on Emulate or Live mode)
Performs the same functions as the Mode Emulate and Mode Live buttons.
• Device Manager — Opens the Device Manager dialog box. If a device is connected, displays
the details (model, MAC address, IP address). In addition, a device can be added or removed,
or a selected device cloned, and new folders can be added to an existing device.
• Issue RESET Command — Initializes and clears the following: mix-points, presets,
processor blocks, and gain blocks. This reset is identical to the
E

}
SIS command (see
“SIS Programming and Control” on page113).
• Save Changes to Device (live mode only) — Saves configuration changes in the DMP128
to non-volatile memory. This is advised if you are about to power off the device.
• Firmware Loader — Calls the Firmware Loader program, which allows updating the firmware
without taking the DMP128 out of service (see “Firmware Loader” on page151).
• Organize Building Blocks — Allows organization of listed building blocks. You can
also import and export the building blocks file to use your set of building blocks on other
computers or sets from other computers on yours (see “Signal Path Building Blocks” on
page106).
• Configure Groups — Opens the configure groups dialog box (see “Group Masters” on
page82).
• Device Settings (live mode only) — Opens a dialog box that provides a means to change
the IPaddress, set administrator and user passwords, change the device name, change the
date and time, and to select the serial port baud rate.
