Indirect Connection
If you have multiple DX1208s installed in a system, you
may want to have them connected together in a LAN. This
allows you to connect your computer to the LAN and access
each DX1208 individually without having to physically change
connections.
Again, the DX1208 will send out a request for an IP
address. If there is a DHCP server on the network, it will assign
a unique IP address to each DX1208 on the network. If there
isn’t a DHCP server, then a unique static IP address will have to
be manually assigned to each DX1208 (see “To assign a static
IP address” above).
Once an IP address has been assigned to each DX1208:
1. Open DX Navigator and click “Tools > Communications” in
the top menu bar.
2. Select “Obtain IP Addresses By Broadcast” and click “OK.”
3. Click“GoOnline.”DXNavigatorwillndalldeviceson
the network with an IP address and they will appear in the
“Found Devices” tab.
Note: The “Obtain IP Addresses By Broadcast” may not
workwithWindowsVistayet.IfyouarerunningtheVista
operating system, it may be necessary to assign a static IP
address to each DX1208, even if there is a DHCP server on
the network, and select “Specify Target IP Addresses” in the
Communications window (see “To assign a static IP address”
in the previous section).
COMMUNICATING OVER RS232
A rear panel RS-232C serial port is provided for additional
third party control options. Nearly every parameter that can be
controlled with DX Navigator can also be controlled using a
third party controller (i.e., AMX and Crestron models).
Port settings and control protocol will be provided in a
separatedocument.Visitourwebsiteformoreinformationat

UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE
From time to time, EAW Commercial will release upgrades
for the internal operating firmware in the DX1208. This
can be downloaded from our website (www.eaw.com) to a
PC-compatible computer along with instructions on how to
upgrade the firmware.
