DME Setup Manual 6
After connecting the computer to the DME unit via a USB cable, the Device Group and IP address for each DME
unit can be individually set from the DME Designer.
nThese parameters can also be set directly via the panel controls and displays of the DME64N and DME24N (page 19).
Device Group
When a system uses multiple DME units, the DME units can be controlled from the DME Designer application in
Device Groups. Since all devices in a group are controlled via the Device Group Master, one device in each group
must be assigned as the master device.
IP Address
All devices to be included in the same group must be assigned the same network address. The Device Group
Master is specified by its host address.

dialog box.

Designer application.
