1. About the RIVAGE PM Network Setup Guide
This guide explains how to set up Control and Dante networks for the RIVAGE PM system.
As the RIVAGE PM system can have multiple configurations, follow this guide to ensure the
system is set up properly.
2. Control Network Setup (RIVAGE PM Editor/RIVAGE
PM StageMix/MonitorMix)
The RIVAGE PM can be controlled from the RIVAGE PM Editor (PM Editor), RIVAGE PM
StageMix (StageMix), and MonitorMix via a connected computer through the NETWORK
[PC] connector port designated below. Follow this procedure to set up the connection.
Each component’s NETWORK [PC] connectors

2.1. Connecting to the NETWORK [PC] Connector
Use an Ethernet cable (CAT5e or higher) to connect a computer or an access point to the
NETWORK [PC] connector. The following devices can be connected to the NETWORK [PC]
connector.
•A computer running PM Editor
•A Wi-Fi device for connecting StageMix (access point/router)
•A Wi-Fi device for connecting MonitorMix (access point/router)
Do not connect any devices other than the above.
If there is more than one RIVAGE PM system, do not connect the
NETWORK [PC] connector of the RIVAGE PM systems
to the same
network. Or do not share one access point with multiple RIVAGE PM
systems.
2.2. Configuring the NETWORK [PC] Connector for PM
Editor/StageMix/MonitorMix
Apply the appropriate settings to the NETWORK [PC] connecter to use PM Editor, StageMix,
and MonitorMix.
RIVAGE PM Editor
PM Editor does not require any specific settings between the NETWORK [PC] connector of
the RIVAGE PM DSP engine and the control surface.

3. Dante Network Settings
By installing an HY144-D/-SRC, a Dante device can be used as a RIVAGE PM system
component. Up to 24 units can be mounted to a single HY144-D/-SRC and up to 48 units
can be controlled for a single DSP engine. In addition, the maximum number of channels that
can be controlled per mounted device is 128.
What is Dante?
Dante is a network audio protocol developed by Audinate. It allows the management of
device control signals and multiple audio signals at different sampling frequencies and bit
rates in a network that supports Gigabit Ethernet.
For details about Dante, see the Audinate website.
http://www.audinate.com/
Or Yamaha also provides a variety of information regarding Dante on our website.
http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/
3.1. Connecting a Device to the Dante Connector
See the following information to set up a network to connect and use Dante devices in a
RIVAGE PM system.
Only Dante devices or a computer with Dante Controller can be connected to the Dante
connector of the HY144-D/-SRC. Do not connect any other devices to the connector.
Also, make sure to establish a physically separate connection between the Dante network
and the control network.

15
Network Connection Example
Do not connect a Dante Network switch to a Control Network switch in which
the PM Editor, StageMix, or MonitorMix are connected.
Prohibited Connection Example

16
To use multiple HY144-D/-SRCs, Yamaha recommends that all the cards be used in the same
Dante network. However, if you would like to connect the cards to multiple Dante networks
that are physically separated, specify an IP address in a different subnet for each Dante
network.
And make sure to connect all the installed HY144-D cards on the Dante network.
3.2. Configuring HY144-D/-SRC
Specify the Primary/Secondary IP and SLOT IP settings for Dante devices.
IP settings for Dante devices (Primary/Secondary)
The IP settings for Dante devices can be specified in the Dante Primary/Secondary IP
settings for each HY144-D/-SRC, which can be found on the Network Config tab in the Device
View window of the Dante Controller software.

17
To set up SLOT IP
The SLOT IP settings are for control communications between the HY144-D/-SRC and the
DSP engine. To remotely control a supported device, adjust the SLOT IP settings.
1. Press the SETUP button in the menu bar to access the SETUP screen, and then press
the SYSTEM CONFIG button.
2. Press the HY SLOT tab where an HY144-D/-SRC card is installed to display the HY
SLOT window.

18
3. Press the NETWORK button.
4. Input the SLOT IP SETTING.
Make sure to specify an IP address that is in the same subnet as the Dante network. The
following IP addresses cannot be used for the STATIC IP of the SLOT IP SETTING.
•192.168.53.xxx /24
172.17.xxx.xxx /16 - 172.24.xxx.xxx/16
(These are reserved for RIVAGE PM systems.)
•169.254.xxx.xxx /16 (Link-local addresses) *1
•Multicast addresses
Use an IP address in a different subnet from the IP address that was assigned in the DSP
ENGINE IP SETTING.
*1 To use a link-local address, use the AUTO (DHCP) to set the IP address.

19
To set up DANTE CONTROL ID
The Dante Control ID needs to be set to remotely control the Rio series head amps.
To use multiple HY144-D/-SRC cards, set a unique ID for each card (except for ID OFF).
1. Open the HY SLOT window, and then press the DANTE SETUP button.
2. Choose the ID number from the DANTE CONTROL ID field.
To connect more than four cards*1 in one network, set the fifth and subsequent cards OFF.
However, please note that the cards whose ID is set to off cannot remotely control the head
amps.
For details about ID settings, see the RIVAGE PM Operation Manual.
*1 This includes multiple DSP engines in the same Dante network.

3.3. Connection Examples
This section gives you connection examples of a RIVAGE PM system with Dante devices
and provides precautions when connecting and setting up your system.
Example 1: A single Dante network
AUTO IP Setting
The AUTO option automatically determines the Primary/Secondary IP and SLOT IP for the
Dante device. Make sure that the Primary/Secondary IP and SLOT IP for each Dante device
is set to AUTO (DHCP), which is the default.
