IF-CB/DM
CobraNet Interface Card
2 Insert the IF-CB/DM card into the slot. Insert the
card completely, aligning its edges with the white
guidelines on the inside of the slot. Push the card
in until it clicks into place and its backplate is even
with the back of the mixer. Do not, however, push the
card too hard. If you are having difficulty inserting it
properly, pull it out once and try again.
3 Use the five screws that you removed earlier or the
five screws included with this card to fix the card in
place.
4 Turn the mixer’s power ON, and open the DIGITAL
screen (with the ALT key indicator lit, press screen
mode selection key 2). Select the SLOT tab (SLOT
1-2 or SLOT 3-4 for the DM-4800), and confirm that
the unit recognizes the installed card. If a “No Card”
message appears, the card might not have been
inserted properly or the screws might not be tight
enough.
Connecting with other CobraNet
devices
After installing the IF-CB/DM card into a DM-4800/
DM-3200 mixer, connect it to other CobraNet devices
through a switching hub.
For the LAN cables, use straight, shielded, twisted pair
cables that are category 5 or higher.
For the switching hub, use a device recommended on the
CobraNet web site.
Set up the CobraNet network so that it is completely
independent from other networks.
Transmission distance
The length of cables that can be used depends on the quality
of the cables and the various other devices located between
the transmitting and receiving devices.
The maximum length that can be used with category 5
cables is 100 m. If transmission over a greater distance
is necessary, multimode optical ber cables can be used
(maximum distance of 2 km).
Mixer control screen
The IF-CB/DM setting screen shown below appears the
same for both DM-3200 and DM-4800 mixers. Press the
ALT key and screen mode selection key 2 to open the
DIGITAL screen, and select the SLOT tab (SLOT 1-2 or
SLOT 3-4 for the DM-4800).
STATUS
ª
This section shows information about the IF-CB/DM card
status.
CLOCK:
This shows whether or not the clock is synchronized and
whether the unit (including the mixer) is a performer or the
conductor.
UNLOCKED

clock.
LOCKED ,
•
CONDUCTOR
:
This unit is the conductor and is synchronized with the
clock.
NOTE
When this unit is a performer set the clock source for
•
the mixer to the slot where the IF-CB/DM is installed.
When this unit is the conductor, other devices
•
connected to the same Cobranet as this unit are
synchronized to its clock. We recommend that you set
the clock source for the mixer to the slot where the
IF-CB/DM is installed, but if you select a different one,
use Cobranet Discovery to set it to a device with high
priority as a conductor.
Use Cobranet Discovery, which is a separate appli-
•
cation, to set whether this unit is a performer or the
conductor.

That shows whether the installed IF-CB/DM card is
currently operating on the PRIMARY or SECONDARY
network connection.
