when the unit is connected and turned on. Front and
rear USB ports are provided.

standard serial interface, or for use with a Crestron ® or
AMX ® control system.
Network - One or more amplifiers may be made con-
nected via a network using a gateway server acting
as a middleman, receiving DMPA12 commands and
forwarding them to the connected amplifiers via the
USB ports.
Extron IPL T S interface - Extron Electronics of-
fers network software/hardware interfaces to connect
DMPA12 amplifiers to a computer via a network and
RS-232 ports. The IPL interface functions as a gateway
server over a LAN by means of an Ethernet connecton.
These interfaces are available only from Extron Elec-
tronics.
Serial->COM1 - An RS-232 port for RS-232 com-
munications between the DMPA12 and the computer
sytsem, or for connecting the DMPA12 to an external
Crestron ® or AMX ® control system.
NOTE: The menu will list all serial ports detected
on the PC. However, many newer PCs have no
RS232 serial ports at all, so no serial connection
options will be listed.
Go Offline - No connection is made. This mode can be
used for off line configuration and is the default mode.
