An example of four DME settings in a single area
The explanation in this example is based on both the zone and computer sharing the following IP address pattern:
“192.168.000.***.”
If you will be following the instructions in “Controlling from a Computer That Has the Same Network Address” on page 26 of
the “DME64N/24N Owner’s Manual,” you will need to make some changes to the network settings of your computer in
addition to the DME-N Network settings described on page 5.
For the first DME, “192.168.000.2” is set as the zone master IP address.
*1
For the second DME, “192.168.000.3” is set as a zone slave IP address.
*2
For the third DME, “192.168.000.4” is set as a zone slave IP address.
*2
For the fourth DME, “192.168.000.5” is set as a zone slave IP address.
*2
For the computer, “192.168.000.001” is set as the IP address.
*3
“255.255.255.0” is set as the subnet mask.
If the default gateway is not connected to an external network, there is no setting. If connected to an external network, set
“192.168.000.254”.
*4
Allow all TCP ports in TCP/IP filtering.
If you are using Windows XP, disable the Internet connection firewall setting.
*1 There are two zone master host addresses.
*2 Any address between 3 and 253 is a zone slave host address.
*3 For the IP address set on the PC, you can select host address 1 or 3 through 253, as long the one you set does not duplicate a DME address.
*4 The gateway host addresses is fixed as 254.

DME Designer Installation Guide 11
English
The YAMAHA USB-MIDI Driver cannot be installed.
• Is the USB cable connected correctly?
Refer to the DME64N/24N Owner’s Manual to confirm proper
connection of USB cables.
• Is the USB function enabled on your computer?
When you connect the DME to the computer for the first time,
if the “Add New Hardware Wizard” does not appear, the USB
function on the computer may be disabled. Perform the
following steps.
1 Select [Start] → [Settings] → [Control Panel] → [System].
The “System” window appears.
2 Double-click the “Device Manager” tab and make sure
that no “!” or “x” marks appear at “Universal serial bus
controller” or “USB Root Hub.”
If you see the “!” or “x” mark, the USB controller is
disabled. Refer to the owner’s manual of your computer for
details.
• Is any unknown device registered?
If driver installation fails, the DME will be shown as an
“Unknown device,” and you will not be able to install the
driver. Delete the “Unknown device” by following the steps
below.
1 Select [Start] → [Settings] → [Control Panel] → [System].
The “System” window appears.
2 Double-click the “Device Manager” tab. With the “View
devices by type” check box checked, look for “Other
devices.”
3 If you find “Other devices,” double-click it to extend the
tree to look for “Unknown device.” If one appears, select it
and click the [Remove] button.

connection again.
5 Install the driver again according to the instructions
following step 4 on page 3.

• Did you install the driver?
• Is the USB cable connected correctly?
• Is the YAMAHA USB-MIDI Driver set up appropriately?
•Have you selected an appropriate port in the DME
Designer or another relevant MIDI application?
Make sure that the settings in one application have either the
combination of “YAMAHA USB IN 0-1” and “YAMAHA USB
OUT 0-1,” or the combination of “YAMAHA USB IN 0-2” and
“YAMAHA USB OUT 0-2.”
Settings combining different port numbers (i.e., “YAMAHA
USB IN 0-1” and “YAMAHA USB OUT 0-2,” or “YAMAHA USB
IN 0-2” and “YAMAHA USB OUT 0-1”) cannot be used.
•Have you selected the same USB ports in both the DME
Designer and another relevant MIDI application?
Change the setting of the USB port so that both the DME
Designer and the other MIDI application match.
• Are you using the latest YAMAHA USB-MIDI driver?
The latest driver can be downloaded from the Yamaha
website (address given at the end of this manual).
•Have you selected USB as MIDI port in the DME?
Select USB for the MIDI port.
• Did you launch DME Designer after connecting a USB
cable and turning the device ON?
Be sure to connect the USB cable and turn the device on
before launching DME Designer.
•Was the USB cable disconnected during operation?
If the USB cable is accidentally disconnected, DME designer
will not recognize the device even if the cable is reconnected.

use the DME functions again.)
