Dante Device This tab allows the DMP 128 FlexPlus Dante settings to be configured within DSP configurator without opening Dante Controller. ATTENTION: It is essential that a Dante device be named immediately after it is connected to the Dante network and before audio connections with other devices are established.
When connecting a DMP 128 FlexPlus to another EXP-enabled device for EXP communication, the DMP 128 FlexPlus is always set as the primary unit. The primary unit serves as the master clock for all EXP audio communication. The other unit must be set as a secondary unit in order for a connection to be established.
Page 106
If both devices are configured as primary, an EXP connection cannot be established. Use a CAT 6 cable (such as the 1 foot cable included with the DMP 128 FlexPlus) to connect the two rear panel EXP ports. When the connection is established, the front panel EXP LED on the primary unit lights steadily and the EXP LED on the secondary unit blinks rapidly.
DSP Configurator must be connected Live to a DMP 128 FlexPlus V-model in order for the dialog to be opened. Phone Dialer • VoIP lines must be registered with the call server via the DMP 128 FlexPlus VoIP web page (see DMP 128 FlexPlus VoIP Web Page on page 166). Selected Line Information...

RS-232 Port The DMP 128 FlexPlus has a serial port that can be connected to a host device such as a computer running either the DataViewer or HyperTerminal utilities. The port makes serial control of the DMP 128 FlexPlus possible.
USB Config Port The DMP 128 FlexPlus has a front panel USB port that can be connected to a computer as a host device running either the HyperTerminal or DataViewer utilities for control of the device. Once a connection is established, SIS programming can begin (see...
• If the DMP 128 FlexPlus is off and RS-232 connection is already set up (the PC is cabled to the DMP 128 FlexPlus and a serial communication program such as DataViewer is open), the connected unit sends these messages via RS-232 when first powered on.
SIS commands consist of a string (one or more characters per command field). No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the DMP 128 FlexPlus determines a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device.
Error Responses When the DMP 128 FlexPlus is unable to execute the command, it returns an error response to the host. The error response codes and their descriptions are as follows: E10 — Unrecognized command E24 — Privilege violation E12 —...
