Connecting when Windows Firewall is On

The Windows Firewall blocks access to port 9776 that is used by the Dugan software.
If you must leave the Windows Firewall on, you can operate the Dugan Control Panel
in a browser window with one connected unit per tab.

1. Enter the

Dugan-MY16’s

IP address directly in the browser’s address field.

The browser uses the Dugan Control Panel that is stored in the Model E-1A’s hard-
ware, not the version that you may have downloaded to your computer.

The unit will not show up in the Top Pane but the control panel will still work.

2. If you have multiple Dugan units, create a browser tab for each one and enter its

IP Address.

3. Switch tabs to control different units.

Linking Multiple Dugans

Up to eight Dugan units can be linked into a single automatic mixing system. One
unit must be set to be the master and the others slaves.

Figure 2-4 Linking multiple Dugans

1. Designate one unit as the master by setting the NORM-SLAVE switch on the rear

panel to NORM (up).

2. Designate any other units as slaves by setting their NORM-SLAVE switches on the

rear panel to SLAVE (down).

3. Use ADAT (Toslink) cables to link units in a ring network (see above).

Note that all LINK IN and OUT connectors are used to create the ring.
