control app on the iTunes Store

, Google Play™, or from

www.dbxpro.com.

2�

Connect a crossover CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 Ethernet
cable (sold separately) to the Ethernet port on the
VENU360.

NOTE:

A crossover Ethernet cable MUST be

used when connecting directly to the computer.
A straight-through Ethernet cable will not work!
See

‘Ethernet Cable Recommendations &

Diagrams’ on page 119

for further information on

Ethernet cable types.

3�

Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the
Ethernet port on the computer.

4�

Apply power to the VENU360 (ensure the amplifiers

If your computer is configured for Auto-IP addressing (i�e�, the computer’s IP address is 169�254�xx�yy):

The default IP address and subnet mask in the VENU360 conform to the Auto-IP addressing standard (i.e., the IP
address is 169.254.2.2 and the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0). To connect, simply turn DHCP “OFF” in the VENU360’s
Utility > Network menu.

If your computer is configured with a static IP address that does not conform to the Auto-IP standard (i�e�,
something other than 169�254�xx�yy):

Configure the VENU360’s network settings to match your computer’s network ID and subnet mask settings, see
