1. Network setup and connection

• Make sure the laptop is on the same network as the 9650: Open our Network and Sharing Center and go to Local Area Connection, Properties, Internet Protocol Version 4, and Properties. Select “Use the following IP address” and set a static address of 192.168.20.3 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.
• Using a Cat5 cable we connect our computer’s local connection to the Ethernet Control Port on the 9650.
• Open up a browser and type in the address of the DN9650: The factory default is 192.168.10.10.
• Check that LCD Line 2 is our Network Bridge and assign the Network module.

2. Configuring the DN9650 module

• Click on “Change Module Type” and choose the Klark Teknik AES50 Module. The unit will lock up for a moment while it resets.
• Next, go to “Change Module Settings.”
• Connecting to an M32 we set our Sample Frequency to 48kHz and Clock Source to AES50 External Clock to set the M32 as the master.
• To setup the built-in AES50 we go to “Change Module Settings” and set all of the ports to 96kHz and Clock Source to AES50 External Clock.

3. Physical connections between devices

• On the back of our Pro series console, AES50 ports 1, 2, and 3 are connected to our I/O box.
• Ports 4, 5 and 6 connect to the three AES50 ports on the DN9650.
• On the AES50 card on the DN9650 we connect port 1 to the AES50 A port on the M series console.
• At 48kHz, port 2 can be a redundant port and can be connected to port B on the M series console.
• At 96kHz port 1 is channels 1–24 and port 2 is 25–28.

4. Patching, routing, and verification

• To get the audio from the DN9650 to the inputs of the Pro Series and also the M32, go to Status and make sure the ports are correctly configured.
• If we needed to change anything, we go to Config, select the required port, and go to the device type to select our device from the drop-down menu.
• The device ID will set automatically.
• Next, we go to Patching where we patch the I/O box to our Pro series console.
• On the Metering page we can see any audio going into our I/O box.
• To assign these channels to the M series console, in Patching, we patch the I/O Box to the AES50 modules.
• These are now going directly to the M series, without any processing on the Pro series.
• On the M series console, on the Routing page, inputs 1–32 are set to the AES50.
• And on the Metering page we can see our signal source here too.
• In this setup only the Pro series console will have control over the analogue gains, so it is recommended that these settings are decided upon early.
