Configuring The M2 - AUDAC M2 User Manual

3) Connecting wall panels
Connect the DW3020/4020 and DW5065 wall panels to the PI (Peripheral Interface) inputs
(RJ45 connectors) on the backside of the M2. All PI ports (1 to 10) support data transfer,
while only the 8 first PI ports (1 to 8) support data + digital audio transfer. Because of this,
the basic DW3020/4020 wall panels may be connected to all PI ports while the All-In-
One DW5065 wall panels may only be connected to PI ports 1 to 8.
Multiple DW3020/4020 wall panels can be connected to one single PI input using bus
cabling (connecting all the wall panels in parallel) or each wall panel can be connected
using a separate cable to a separate port. It does not matter which input is used for which
zone, the settings for which wall panel should control which zone can be made in the
settings menu.
Only one DW5065 All-In-One wall panel (with audio input) may be connected
simultaneously to a PI input port (1 to 8).
4) Connecting a computer
A computer can be connected to the M2 through Ethernet. If the computer is directly
connected to the M2, a crossed network cable is necessary. If the M2 is connected to
a local LAN network (connected to a router / switch / hub) a straight network cable is
necessary. Ask your IT administrator for help.
To get access to the user interface, enter the following address in your internet browser
address bar: 'http://192.168.0.190' (This is the factory default IP address of the M2, can
be changed in the settings menu). The default administrator password (gives you access
to all functions) is 'M2' and the default user password (gives you only access to the basic
functions) is 'user'. If any changes to the settings should be made, the administrator
password should be used.

Configuring the M2

1) Changing the IP address
You can skip this step when the default IP address '192.168.0.190' is not in use by
another device in your network, and is OK for you. If you like to change the IP address,
go to the 'Setup' menu (click the icon in the upper right corner of the main screen) click
on 'System configuration' and go to 'Network Settings'. Now you can change the IP
address, and click 'OK' to apply the changes and save. Afterwards, your browser will be
automatically redirected to the new IP address of the M2, and the default IP address is no
longer valid.
2) Changing the password
You can skip this step if the default password 'M2' for administrator and 'user' for users
is OK for you, but we always recommend to change these passwords, especially when
your M2 is connected to a public network where external users have access. If you like to
change the password, go to the 'Setup' menu, click on 'System configuration' and go to
'Password settings'. Here you can change the passwords. First, the old password needs
to be entered, and subsequently the new password needs to be entered twice (Max 8
characters). Press the 'OK' button to save the new password. Now, you always need to log
in with the new password. The default password is no longer valid.
