Each CDT100 MK3 will appear on the Dante network with a unique name for identifi cation and routing. The default naming will be CDT100MK3-###### with the # replaced by the last six digits of the device’s MAC address.
Page 18: Touch Switch Port Setup
The TS PORT allows users to connect a Touch Switch such as the TS 003 or TS 005 to the CDT100 MK3. To test Touch Switch configuration, use the Clockaudio Control Panel application. Please consult the Clockaudio Control Panel manual for detailed instructions.

IP address setup on the PC, however, communication with the CDT100 MK3 Windows application requires a compatible IP addresses. By default, the CDT100 MK3 will receive a dynamic IP address. If there is no DHCP server to assign an IP address, the device will self-assign an IP address.
Page 21 MICROPHONE SETUP The Channel Label section reﬂects the channel name used on the Dante network. When using multiple CDT100 MK3 units in a daisy chain configuration, it may be helpful to identify each microphone with a unique name. This can be done via the Dante Controller application from Audinate.
Page 22: Diagnostic Modes
Red: Signal at -3 dBFS or higher LATENCY Latency test mode measures how long it takes for a TS Port change message sent from the CDT100 MK3 to be received on an external controller. The application displays statistics about the number of messages sent/ received and the measured latency.

Page 25: Mounting
(front view) MOUNTING It is recommended that the CDT100 MK3 be secured to a ﬂat surface with a CDT100 MK3 POWER TEST RESET screw through each mounting ﬂange. Dimensions for mounting are shown in Figure 9 below. Use a No. 6 screw of a type and size that is applicable to the surface to which the CDT100 MK3 will be attached.

Page 29 1 UDP COMMAND SYNTAX The following commands are available for the CDT100 MK3. Commands are sent to UDP port 49494 on the target device. Responses are returned to the sending UDP port number. Please keep in mind that UDP is not a “guaranteed delivery” protocol, so it is possible for commands and responses to be occasionally lost.

Page 32 1.2 General Command Handling Commands are sent as ASCII character string with spaces used to delimit fields within a command. The entire command is terminated with a Carriage Return (0x0D). The device acknowledges a command by returning the command data with the string “ACK” inserted preceding the command data.
Page 33 1.3.3 Load/Save The LOAD and SAVE commands allow different configurations to be saved into preset 0. When the CDT100 starts up preset 0 is used as the default configuration. A preset saves the CDT100 configuration, including the phantom power settings, the TS brightness settings and the ARM-C setting.
Page 34 1.3.7 Set ARM-C State The Set ARM-C State command provides for activating or deactivating the ARM-C control signal. The following command activates the ARM-C control signal. SARMC 1<CR> Response ACK SARMC <CR> 1.3.8 Get ARM-C State The Get ARM-C State command provides to retrieving the current state of the ARM-C control signal.
Page 35 1.3.9 Set Asynchronous IP Address The Set Asynchronous IP Address command is used to set the IP address and port number of the network node that asynchronous (unpolled) responses are sent to. Currently only the Switch Logic states from the four TS devices are reported. The following example command would setup the CDT100 to send message to port 12345 of node 192.168.50.4 when a switch changes state.
Page 36 1.3.10 Firmware Update The Firmware Update command reboots the CDT100 into an update mode. The command has no parameters. FWUPDATE Response: None – the unit will immediately re-boot and the LED will change to yellow. 1.3.11 Boot Version The BVERSION command returns the current version of the Host MCU boot-loader firmware. The command has no parameters.
Page 37 1.3.13 Get TS Status The Get TS status command is used to retrieve the logic input / output state of either all four ports or a selected port. The data is formatted similarly for each channel. CHxR=y provides the current state for channel x Red LED, y = 0 for inactive, 1 for active CHxG=y provides the current state for channel x Green LED, y = 0 for inactive, 1 for active...
Page 38 1.3.14 Set TS Brightness The Set TS Brightness command provides for setting the brightness of the Red or Green LEDs on either all four TS ports, or a selected TS port. The brightness levels are implemented as a “duty cycle”. The duty cycle is set in 10% increments so valid values are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100.
Page 39 1.3.16 Set RGB State The Set RGB State command provides for setting the brightness of the Red, Green and Blue LEDs in the TS(s). The following command sets the LEDs channel 1 to full on. SRGB 1 255 255 255<CR> Response: ACK SRGB 1 255 255 255<CR>...

Page 41 1.3.23 Set Output High-pass Filter The Set Output High-pass Filter command configures the high-pass filter (HPF) on the stereo output. The HPF can be turned off or set to a frequency between 50 and 150 Hz. The following command sets the Output HPF to 80 Hz: SOHPF 80<CR>...
Page 42 This allows the response time of the associated network and control system to be measured. For this measurement to work, the following rules must be followed. • A control system must be present, and its IP address and port number must be config- ured with the SASIP command.
Page 43 1.3.27 Set Control Port IP Address Configuration The Set Control Port IP Address Configuration command configures the IP address for the control port of the device. The IP address, subnet mask and gateway IP address can be configured. Dynamic addressing (DHCP or APIPA (Auto IP, 169.254.x.x)) can be selected by using addresses of all 0’s.
Page 44 1.3.29 Set Audio Port IP Address Configuration The Set Audio Port IP Address Configuration command configures the IP address for the audio (Dante) port of the device. The IP address, subnet mask and gateway IP address can be configured. Dynamic addressing (DHCP or APIPA (Auto IP, 169.254.x.x)) can be selected by using addresses of all 0’s.
