Installation Guide
DAS-MNET Mi-Series Network Interface Card
Overview
The DAS-MNET Mi-Series Network Interface Card (FG1101-61) adds
networking capabilities to the Matrix Mi-Series Audio Controllers (FIG. 1).
Compatibility Requirements
The DAS-MNET is compatible with all Matrix Mi-Series Audio Controllers that
are using firmware version 7.07 or higher. Earlier firmware versions do not
support the DAS-MNET card.
Connectivity
By default, the DAS-MNET enters DHCP mode, to automatically establish an IP
address for the Mi-Series Controller in which the DAS-MNET card is installed.
If DHCP is unsuccessful, the DAS-MNET automatically defaults to the following
IP Address: 192.168.1.200, and Subnet: 255.255.255.0. In this case, you will
have to change the IP Address to one that is suitable for your network (see the
Changing the IP Address on the DAS-MNET section for details).
Installation
The DAS-MNET card is installed in Mi-Series Audio Controllers via the rear
panel, as described below.
WARNING: Disconnect all power sources before opening the chassis. Fail-
ure to disconnect power before performing this installation may cause injury
or death.
CAUTION: Make sure to discharge all static electricity from your body
before touching any components of the tuner modules or the audio control-
ler. Failure to do so may lead to permanent damage to the tuner or
controller.
1. Remove the cover from the controller. This involves removing all screws
from the top and both side of the enclosure, including those in the rack-ear
mounts on the sides.
2. With the back of the unit facing you, remove the screws from the “Future
Option” cover plate at the left top corner of the rear panel (FIG. 2) and
remove the plate. Retain the screws, as they will be used to install the
DAS-MNET card.
3. Carefully insert the DAS-MNET card into the controller, with the electronics
facing up, and use the screws that attached the “Future Option” cover plate
to secure the card to the controller (FIG. 3).
4. Locate the 20-pin ribbon cable that is connected to the vertical circuit board
adjacent to the rear panel connectors (FIG. 4).
Note: The ribbon cable is secured within the Mi-Series unit with plastic tie-
downs. You may need to remove one or more tie-downs to move the cable
and connector close to the connector on the DAS-MNET.
5. The red stripe on the ribbon cable indicates “Pin 1” on the cable and con-
nector. Orient the ribbon cable so that the side of the cable/connector with
red stripe inserts into the connector on the DAS-MNET labelled “Pin 1” (as
indicated on the DAS-MNET circuit board, next to the connector - see
FIG. 5).
