17- Select Device, Add Device, from the menu. A new window will open prompting you to name the device. Name it logically, such as DSP 1, or similar. Select the Device Type and select DSP 322ua. At the Password prompt, enter “qsc” (lower case, no quotation marks). This is the device password, separate from the software password. The default, in both cases, is “qsc”, but you are free to change either or both. Enter the IP address of the DSP 322ua and click OK.

18- The DSP 322ua will now appear in the inventory root (left side of screen, first with a red “x”, then a yellow exclamation point, then a normal icon). If the DSP 322ua does not eventually show in the inventory root, check that a crossover cable is used (only for DSP 322ua connected directly to PC), check the cable connections, verify IP addresses are set correctly, verify Subnet masks are set cor- rectly, and verify AC power is properly applied to the DSP 322ua.

19- Click the “+” sign of the DSP 322ua in the inventory root, then the “+” sign of the Flashed Configs. Click on the config with the loud- speaker icon. A view of applicable device tabs will open. Click the DSP tab and the current DSP configuration of the DSP will be dis- played.

20- Right click on the Design Editor icon in the lower left of your display; select “New”. A new window opens; select DSP 322ua for the device type.

21- Click on Help to access the software’s Help system. All software operation is covered in the on-line help file.

Operation of the DSP 322ua is accomplished with the included QSControl.net software. No software operation is covered in this hardware manual. After installing your software, open the Help file and follow its recommendations. The software Help file includes the most recent information available for your DSP 322ua.
