Install the Device
The Crestron® DM-MD64X64 and DM-MD128X128 can be mounted into a
rack or placed onto a flat surface.
WARNINGS:
lDo not lift the DigitalMedia switcher using the power supply
handles. Doing so can cause bodily injury and will damage the unit.
To facilitate installation, use the handles provided on the front and
rear of the switcher. If desired, remove the handles on the front of
the unit after the switcher is installed. To remove the handles, use a
Phillips screwdriver.
lThere are no user-serviceable parts inside this equipment.
Theproduct must be installed in a restricted access location by
qualified service personnel only.
lBefore servicing this unit, disconnect all power cords.
NOTES:
lThis unit is for indoor use only. It is not intended for outdoor use.
Cet appareil est réservé à une utilisation en intérieur. Il n’est pas
destiné à une utilisation en extérieur.
lIf the DigitalMedia switcher detects an unsafe operating
temperature, the switcher will enter low power protection mode
and, as a result, video functionality will be disabled.

Mounting into a Rack
The DM-MD64X64 occupies 14 RU of rack space. The DM-MD128X128
occupies 24 RU of rack space.
WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing the
unit in a rack:
lWhen mounting the unit into a partially filled rack, load the rack
from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the
bottom of the rack.
lIf the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers
before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
NOTE: Observe the following rack mount installation guidelines:
lElevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed or
multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than room ambient
temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
lReduced Airflow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be
such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
lMechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should
be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
lCircuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the
connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect
that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this
concern.
lReliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment
should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit
(forexample, use of power strips).
The DigitalMedia switcher has rack ears integrated into the chassis.
Therack ears cannot be removed. To attach the DigitalMedia switcher to
a rack, use four mounting screws (not included) for each rack ear.
Placing onto a Flat Surface
Rubber feet are provided for placement of the device on a flat surface.
Attach the included feet near the corners on the underside of the device.
Connect the Device
Input/output (I/O) blades and the CPU blade are installed prior to
shipment of the DigitalMedia switcher. Make connections to the blades as
appropriate for the application. For information about blade connections,
refer to the DM-MD64X64/DM-MD128X128 Supplemental Guide
(Doc.7318) at www.crestron.com/manuals.

Apply Power to the Device
Electrical Connection:
“This product must be connected to an earthed mains socket-outlet.”
lFinland: “Laite on liitettävä suojamaadoituskoskettimilla
varustettuun pistorasiaan.”
lNorway: “Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt.”
lSweden: “Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag.”
The DM-MD64X64 requires two 20 A @ 100–127 VAC or two 10 A @
200-240 VAC circuits. The DM-MD128X128 requires three 20 A @ 100-127
VAC or three 10 A @ 200-240 VAC circuits. To apply power to a
DigitalMedia switcher, connect the included AC power cords to the power
inlets of the switcher. Connect the other end of the power cords to AC
power using the same AC voltage type—either 127 VAC or 220 VAC.

Determine the Address of the Device
The DM-MD64X64 and DM-MD128X128 can be addressed using the
hostname or IP address of the device. The default hostname is
DM64-4K- XXXXXX for the DM-MD64X64 and DM128-4K- XXXXXX for
the DM-MD128X128 ( XXXXXX represents the last six hexadecimal digits
of the MAC address of the switcher, for example, DM64-4K-33956F or
DM128-4K-33956F). TheMAC address is labeled on the faceplate of the
CPU blade (DMB-4K-CPU-64 for the DM-MD64X64 and
DMB-4K-CPU-128 for the DM-MD128X128).
The IP address is assigned using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol), which is enabled by default. To set a static IP address, use any
of the following:
lCrestron Toolbox™ software on a PC that connects to the device via
the Ethernet network
NOTE: The Device Discovery Tool can be used to find the current IP
address.
lA USB connection to the COMPUTER port on the front panel of the
device
lThe front panel touch screen
Configure the System
Using the front panel touch screen or the web interface, configure the
system. To access the web interface, open a web browser and enter the
following:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx /setup ( xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the device)
NOTE: As an alternative to using the front panel touch screen or the
web interface to configure the DigitalMedia endpoints (transmitters
and receivers), DMTool in the Crestron Toolbox software can be used.
To do so, the included USB Ethernet adapter must be used. In addition,
the DANTE port on the CPU blade must be repurposed for use as a
Service port. For detailed information, refer to Answer ID 5347 in the
Online Help section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
