Installation
DM switchers can be mounted into a rack or placed onto a flat surface.
Mount into a Rack
Refer to the following sections for information about mounting the DM
switchers into a 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.

over DM (PoDM or PoDM+).
To enable the DM IN or DM OUT port to use PoDM or PoDM+:
lFor PoDM, connect the corresponding POE IN port to a compatible
PoDM or PoE power source. Compatible power sources
(soldseparately) include the Crestron DM-PSU-8-PLUS,
DM-PSU-16-PLUS, DM-PSU-ULTRA-MIDSPAN, and CEN-SWPOE-16.
Third-party 802.3af or 802.3at PoE Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)
can also be used. Refer to the connected DM 8G+ endpoint
documentation for PoDM capabilities and requirements.
lFor PoDM+, connect the corresponding POE IN port to a compatible
PoDM+ or PoE+ power source. Compatible power sources
(soldseparately) include the Crestron DM-PSU-8-PLUS,
DM-PSU-16-PLUS, DM-PSU-ULTRA-MIDSPAN, and CEN-SWPOE-16.
Third-party 802.3at Type 2 Class 4 PoE+ PSE can also be used. Refer to

Powering DM 8G+ Devices Using PoDM
NOTES:
lThe POE IN port does not provide a network connection. The port is
only used to enable PoDM or PoDM+.
lThe internal power supply of a DM switcher does not power DM 8G+
endpoints.
lWhen PoDM or PoDM+ is used to power a DM 8G+ endpoint,
connection of the endpoint to a power pack is not required.
lCabling that connects to a PoDM or PoE PSE port is designed for
intrabuilding use only.
Route Inputs

Route Inputs Using the Web Interface
To route inputs using the web interface:
1. Find the IP address of the device by using the Device Discovery Tool in
the Crestron Toolbox™ software.
2. Open a web browser and go to the IP address.
3. On the home page:
a. Click the input to be routed.
b. Click the desired outputs.
c. Click Take.
Configuration
Configure input, output, and network settings by using the front panel
controls and Installer Tools or by using the web interface.
Configuration of network settings includes:
lIP address
lSubnet mask
lDefault router
lDHCP
lHostname
lControl system IP address
In addition, be aware of Private Network Mode (PNM). Using PNM, a DM®
system uses only one IP address in the public network:
lPNM is enabled by default and cannot be disabled.
lIn a DM system containing a single DM switcher, the DM switcher is
the only DM device that uses an IP address in the public network. When
DHCP is enabled, the IP address is set dynamically. When DHCP is
disabled, the IP address must be set manually.
lAll DMC I/O cards and DM endpoints (transmitters and receivers)
connected to the DM switcher are hidden from the public network and
cannot be reached directly. All communication is managed through the
DM switcher. PNM creates a completely private IP network for all
cards and endpoints.
NOTE: When a DM endpoint connects to a DM switcher, the
convenience Ethernet port of the endpoint must not be connected
to the LAN. A DM endpoint receives a network connection via the
DM switcher. The convenience Ethernet port of a DM endpoint is
available for connection to a network device such as a PC,
Blu-ray™ player, or TV.
lWhen multiple DM switchers are cascaded:
oEach DM switcher must connect directly to the LAN. A DM switcher
cannot connect to the LAN through another DM switcher.
oEach DM switcher must be assigned a unique system ID. PNM uses
the system ID of each switcher to determine the internal IP address
used by each device in the DM system. To assign a unique system
ID, refer to the following section.

Assign a Unique System ID
When multiple DM switchers are cascaded, assign a unique system ID to
each switcher by using the front panel controls and Installer Tools or by
using the web interface. The system ID ranges from 1 to 64. The default
system ID is 1.
NOTE: It is recommended that a number ranging from 2 to 64 be used. A
system ID other than the default setting of 1 prevents potential
conflicts when bringing additional switchers online.
Assign a Unique System ID Using the Front Panel
Controls
To assign a unique system ID using the front panel controls:
1. In Installer Tools, select Network Setup. The Network Setup
configuration screen appears.
2. Select System ID. The Edit System ID configuration screen appears.
3. Select a unique system ID for the DM switcher. The recommended
setting ranges from 2 to 64.

To assign a unique system ID using the web interface:
1. Find the IP address of the device by using the Device Discovery Tool in
the Crestron Toolbox software.
2. Open a web browser and go to the IP address.
3. On the Ethernet page, select a unique system ID for the DM switcher.
The recommended setting ranges from 2 to 64.
Connect to the XiO Cloud® Service
The XiO Cloud® service allows supported Crestron devices across an
enterprise to be managed and configured from one central and secure
location in the cloud. Supported devices are preconfigured to connect to
the service. Use of the service requires a registered XiO Cloud account.
To connect the device to the XiO Cloud service:
1. Record the MAC1 address and the serial number that are labeled on
