USER GUIDE

9.The DX Central slave must have a different IP address than the primary DX Central, but it must be on the same subnet. Type suitable network parameters for the DX Central slave into the DX Network Configuration box.

10.Click . The Define DX status box appears. See Figure 20.

11.Select Slave and click . The following box appears.

Figure 21 Primary DX unit IP address box

12.Type in the IP address of the primary DX Central unit.

13.Click . The Login screen appears. 14.Power off the DX User and disconnect it from the slave.

Repeat the above procedure for each slave, and give each one a unique IP address.

7.4 Changing the cascade status

The Configuration wizard only appears automatically the first time you connect and switch on a DX Central. When you change the cascade status of the DX system, e.g. by adding or removing an already configured DX Central, you configure the new cascade status in the same way as above, by connecting a DX User to the newly added DX Central. You then invoke the Configuration wizard from the Settings window. This is explained on page 44 – (Configure cascade options).

7.5 Connecting the DX Users when cascading

Once all the slaves are configured, connect all DX Users to the primary DX Central.

For each DX User in the system connect a CAT5 cable from the primary DX Central Server port to each DX Central secondary level User port. Figure 16 shows the CAT5 cables for 1 cascaded DX Central. Figure 17 shows CAT5 cables for 2 cascaded DX Centrals.
