To connect to a wired network switch or router:
1� Download and install the free DriveRack VENU360
control app on the iTunes Store
® , Google Play™, or
from www.dbxpro.com.
2� Connect a straight-through CAT5, CAT5e or CAT6
Ethernet cable (sold separately) to the Ethernet port
on the VENU360.
NOTE: A crossover Ethernet cable can also be
used as long as the switch or router is capable of
auto-sensing the type of Ethernet cable connected
and reconfiguring itself accordingly (referred to as
auto-MDI/MDIX sensing).
3� Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of
the switch or router’s LAN ports.
4� Connect your computer’s Ethernet port to one of
the other LAN ports on the router or switch using a
straight-through CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 cable.
NOTE: A crossover Ethernet cable can also be
used as long as the switch or router is capable of
auto-sensing the type of Ethernet cable connected
and reconfiguring itself accordingly (referred to as
auto-MDI/MDIX sensing).
5� Apply power to the VENU360 (ensure the amplifiers
are powered off, see
‘Applying Power’ on page
4 for more information). Wait for the VENU360 to
initialize and give it time to negotiate with the network
so it can be assigned an IP address – this can take a
few minutes. You can ensure the VENU360 has been
assigned an IP address by pressing the
UTILITY
button then selecting the “SYSTEM INFO” option or
by pressing the
SELECT wheel from Home mode and
selecting the “SYSTEM INFO” home screen option.
6� If connecting using a static IP address, enter the
VENU360 Utility menu by pressing the
UTILITY
button. Select the “NETWORK” option then configure
the network settings to connect to your network.
