Troubleshooting & Tips
Precaution regarding USB ports and driver installation
On computers featuring multiple USB ports, drivers are installed individu-
ally for each port. After installation, therefore, if connection is made via a
port other than that originally used, it will be necessary to install the driver
once again. To avoid this, either set a dedicated port for DME connection
in advance or install the driver on all of your computer's ports.
It is also important to note that USB drivers differ depending on the model
of DME used. Although the same driver can be used for multiple DME
units of the same model, different models – such as the DME64N and
DME24N – require different USB drivers. (To be exact, the USB drivers
themselves are identical, but the INF files used upon installation differ.)
Avoid USB hubs
As is often the case with digital mixers, your computer may not recognize
the DME unit if connected via a USB hub. In principle, therefore, connec-
tion should be made directly to one of your computer's built-in USB ports.
e procedure and screen which were described here are a case of
WindowsVista. When Windows 2000 or Windows XP is used, please set
up similarly according to directions of a screen.

Host setting from the MIDI page on the hardware's Utility Display
The MIDI Setup page from the hardware's Utility Display contains a Host
option, and if this is set to "USB-1" or "USB-2", MIDI data will also be
exchanged via USB. In certain cases, this can make it impossible to
connect successfully with DME Designer using a USB cable; accord-
ingly, these settings should be avoided.
Troubleshooting & Tips
Problem:
The DME unit does not operate correctly in response to
control from your computer via USB.
Possible cause #1 and corrective action: DME Designer was launched
before connecting the USB cable and turning on the DME unit. Ensure
that the USB cable is connected and the DME unit is turned on before
launching DME Designer.
Possible cause #2 and corrective action: The USB-MIDI Driver Thru
ON/OFF parameter is not set to “OFF”. Select [Start] [Control Panel]
[Yamaha USB-MIDI Driver] and ensure that the [Thru ON/OFF]
parameter is set to “OFF”.
Possible cause #3 and corrective action: The same USB ports
have been selected for DME Designer and other MIDI applications.
Change port settings so that DME Designer and the other MIDI
applications use different ports.
Possible cause #4 and corrective action: The number of registered
MIDI devices exceeds the Windows limit. The Windows operating
system allows a maximum of 10 MIDI device drivers to be installed and
registered. In certain cases, connecting a device to a different USB port
can lead to it being recognized as a different device, thereby
“artificially” exceeding the limit. If MIDI does not function properly,
therefore, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the USB-MIDI driver.
Possible cause #5 and corrective action: Your USB-MIDI driver
is not the most up-to-date version supported by DME. Download
and install the most up-to-date USB-MIDI driver from the Yamaha
website (http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/)
By default, the gain is set to +10 dBu (i.e., the lowest possible level). Adjust
the sensitivity to the correct level for the connected audio equipment.
The level displayed by [Gain] is the sensitivity level to be matched. As
the sensitivity of most professional audio equipment (using XLR
connectors) is +4 dBu, the level shown by [Gain] should be set to "4" in
such a case. When using input from microphones or other similar
sources, turn the dial clockwise to adjust the input volume to a suitable
level. Specifically, it is recommended that the level shown by the input
meter be peaking at around -18 dB.
Note
2-6. Checking sound output
In the case of models with head amps, it will be necessary to congure
HA control before sound output from the system can be
checked.Right-click the [Analog Input] icon and select [Open HA Editor]
from the drop-down menu.

In the following three cases, a USB cable should not be used to connect your computer and
DME units for actual operation; instead, you should make the necessary connections via Ethernet cables.
• Two or more DME units are to be controlled in a single device group (using a Network switch).
• Long cables are needed for connection.
• The computer and DME unit(s) are to be connected wirelessly.

When to connect via Ethernet cables:
If a company or office network is to be used
for this purpose, it will be necessary to
switch back and forth between the DME
network and the regular network. In such a
case, we recommend connection via USB or
the use of a commercially-available
Ethernet/USB interface.
Note
A Group Master device must be set for
the device group, with all other
devices in the group set as slaves.
Furthermore, if the DME network
contains one or more DME satellites, it
is recommended that one of the DME
satellites be set as the Group Master.
Note
Each DME unit to be networked must be assigned an IP
address,and this is done either by connecting a PC via USB
to one device at a time(described here). If using a DME64N or
DME24N, setting can be performed directly via the front
display(see page 13).
Note
3-1. DME setup
Assign an IP address to the DME unit using DME Designer connected via USB.
* By default, all DME units are assigned the IP address 192.168.000.002.
Please ensure that the USB-MIDI driver has been installed before proceeding.
* The same USB-MIDI driver can be used with DME satellites.
Do not connect the devices in a network until the IP addresses have been set. To
set the IP addresses,connect PC to each device in turn,using a USB cable.
For the purpose of explanation, we will make the following settings.

Troubleshooting & Tips
Over-the-counter security software
If antivirus, anti-spyware, or any other type of Internet security application is
installed on your computer, its firewall may block the DME-N Network Driver,
making connection and remote operation of the DME unit impossible. Care
should also be taken with regard to compatibility with peer-to-peer applications
and other communication software remaining constantly on in the background.
PC power-saving options
With laptops, certain power saving options can result in network communi-
cation being automatically turned off, which would lead to disconnection of
the DME unit if online at the time. Should you become aware of this type of
behavior, please check your power saving options.
Cables for computer connection (one-to-one)
The DME64N and DME24N can be connected using a crossover cable or a
switch. DME Satellite units can be connected using a straight-through
cable, a crossover cable, or a switch.
Wireless network
Over-the-counter wireless network access points can be used to establish
connections with laptops featuring wireless functionality. A good
understanding of network will be required in order to do so, and the access
point's user manual should be referenced for setting-related details.
Word-clock settings
When a new file is created using DME Designer, the word clock is set to
"INT48k" by default. In systems where the DME unit operates as a word-clock
slave, it will be necessary to change this word-clock setting before going online.
If the DME unit were to be brought online with the default setting unchanged, it
would not be word-clock locked with the other units in the system, resulting in
audible clicking and possibly damage to the other units. Whenever possible, it
is recommended that clock settings be made using DME Designer.
DME initialization
In certain cases, DME initialization can prove effective in resolving problems. In
particular, this approach is useful if a DME device freezes upon scene recall
(either during startup or when connected online).
*: Take care to avoid selecting option 02 (Delete All Data), as this will result
in the DME device's firmware also being deleted. It will not then be possible
to use the device until the firmware is reinstalled.
For details regarding initialization, please refer to the Owner's Manualthat
came with your DME device(s). Specifically, this information can be found
in the section "Initializing the DME64N/DME24N" of the DME64N/DME24N
manual, or in the section "Initializing the DME Satellite" of manuals for DME
satellites.
Using the Analyze function
After a configuration has been created using DME Designer, we recommend
that the Analyze function be used to check it. Please note that this function is the
only way to fully determine the viability of a design – that is to say, operation
cannot be guaranteed using the Resource Meter alone. It is important, therefore,
that the Analyze function always be used to perform a final check.
Automatic backup function and going online
If the [Store Project File into DME after synchronization] option at the bottom
left of the Synchronization window is not cleared when going online and
synchronizing with DME Designer version 3 or later, DME Designer will
create a backup of the computer's current data (.daf) within the DME unit's
memory after going online. Please note that if Wave files are being used,
synchronization can take at least twice as long as usual.
Furthermore, if your original project file is accidentally deleted or lost,
synchronization with DME devices will no longer be possible. For safety's
sake, therefore, it is advisable that a backup be made and that the [Store
Project File into DME after synchronization] item from the Synchronization
window or the DME File Storage item from the [File] menu be used to store
a copy of this file also on the DME device(s).
Problem: A compile error occurs during synchronization.
Possible cause #1 and corrective action: DSP total resource consump-
tion has exceeded the upper limit. Delete unneeded components. In
addition, it may be possible to ensure that compilation will be completed
normally even when total DSP resource consumption increases by replac-
ing some components with others using fewer resources or by dividing the
processing load between such components.
Possible cause #2 and corrective action: Wiring between components is
connected from multiple output terminals to a single input. Change the
wiring configuration so that each output is connected to a single input
terminal. If necessary, a matrix mixer or similar component can be used to
combine multiple outputs into one signal.
Problem: A component or wiring cannot be added.
Possible cause #1 and corrective action: DME Designer is online. Go
offline by clicking [Go Off-line] in the Synchronization window.
Possible cause #2 and corrective action: The Designer Window is not in
Edit Mode. Place a checkmark next to [Edit] on the [Tool] menu.
Possible cause #3 and corrective action: The current user is restricted
from editing. Logoff and then logon again as a new user or as the Adminis-
trator. (If edit restrictions must be applied to a user, set the option [Edit] in
the Security window.)
Problem: A user module is no longer displayed on the list.
Possible cause and corrective action: The contents folder ([File] menu
[Preference] [ContentsFolder]) has been changed, or the “User Module”
folder has been moved. Ensure that the user module files (.umf) are in the
"ContentsFolder" and "User Module" folders.
Problem: Configurations cannot be switched in the Navigator window.
Possible cause and corrective action: While online, it is not possible to
switch to a configuration that does not match the current scene. Switch to a
scene corresponding to the required configuration.
Problem: A User Module window does not open when the user module is
double-clicked.
Possible cause and corrective action: The user module in question has
been saved with [Open User Module Design Window] selected. Open the save
dialog, select [Open User Module Editor], and resave the user module.
Problem: An editor is not displayed when a slot-in component is
right-clicked and [Open] is selected from its context menu.
Possible cause and corrective action: The slot-in component in question
does not have an editor. No corrective action is required.
Problem: The message “Reset Config…” is displayed for a long time in the
message area of the Synchronization window.
Possible cause and corrective action: Processing may take time when
many scenes have been setup, and therefore, this display is not indicative
of a problem. Allow processing to finish normally.
Problem: The monitor output cannot be set. (Applies to the DME64N and
DME24N only.)
Possible cause and corrective action: Channels connected by wiring
cannot be used for monitor output. Select a channel not connected in this way.

e corresponding editing dialog will appear. Set each of the following
parameters as described and press the [ENTER] key each time to conrm
and enter the settings.
• Master/Slave
is parameter sets device-group master or slave status.
Master: One DME unit must be assigned as the master in each device group.
Slave: All other DME units in the group should be set to slave.
Note: When DME64N/24N and DME Satellite units are combined in a device group,
be sure to assign a DME Satellite unit as the group master.
ICP1, CP4SF, CP1SF, and CP4SW controllers are available as optional extras for remote external control of the DME units. For details regarding
installation of a control panel and connection to the DME unit, please refer to the owner’s manual that came with the control panel.
Device group and IP address settings for DME64N and DME24N units can be made directly via their front panels as follows.

4. In-depth Information on DME Units
• IP Address
is parameter sets the IP address of the DME unit in question. All DME
units in the same device group must share the same network address.
Notes: 1. When only one DME unit (Master) is used, the IP address should be set to
“192.168.0.2”.
2. The subnet mask is fixed at “255.255.255.0”.
3. The host address can be set between 2 and 253 for the master device, and
between 3 and 253 for slaves.
4. Unless it is absolutely necessary to use a global IP address, you should
always use a private address (that is, 192.168.0.2. through
192.168.255.253). Consult with your network administrator if a global
address must be used.
• Master ID
When a device is assigned as a slave using
Master/Slave above, this parameter sets
the host address for the corresponding
master. Setting of this parameter is not
possible when the DME unit in question
is assigned as the master.
• Link Mode
Ensure that “100Base-TX” is selected for this parameter.
6. Press the [HOME] key to return and save your changes.
Whenever making GPI settings, check for responses using the GPI Setup page.
The GPI Setup page from the DME unit's Utility Display can be used to
monitor in real time the signals being input via the GPI IN terminal. This
can prove extremely useful in identifying the cause of GPI control prob-
lems after configuration as being within the GPI device, within the connec-
tions, or within the DME configuration. If the DME unit fails to operate as
required even though a signal is returned to the GPI IN terminal, the prob-
lem probably lies in the configuration data, or although unlikely, in the
DME unit itself. As this page can be used to check for GPI responses
when making GPI settings, it can be employed to great effect.
Maximum length of GPI cables
CPEV cables with a core diameter of 0.65 mm or more can be used over
distances of up to 100 m.
