1 Getting Started With the DBC Network Bridge

Welcome! This Quick-start guide will get you up and running

in a short time. Then please refer to the rest of the manual for

details on the DBC™ Network Bridge and its operation.

IMPORTANT: Unplug power cord from AC outlet

before wiring.

1.1 Hardware Installation

You will need:

• Crown power amplifiers with USP3-CN PIP modules

installed, or Crown I-Tech CobraNet- version power

amplifiers

• A computer running IQwic software

• A 100Mb network switch

• An Ethernet cable (RJ45 connector on each end) for

use between the computer and network switch

• Two Ethernet cables for use between the DBC Network

Bridge and the network switch. One cable is sufficient,

but two allow redundancy.

• An Ethernet cable between the network switch and

each USP3-CN module (or Ethernet connector)

installed in a Crown power amplifier.

1.1.1 Audio and Network Connections

Please refer to Figures 1.1 and 1.2.

1. Mount the DBC Network Bridge in a standard 19-inch

(48.3-cm) equipment rack or cabinet.

2. Turn off all equipment that will connect to the unit.

3. Connect the AES/EBU digital output signal from your cin-

ema processor, media player, or feature server to the analog

DB25 connector on the back of the DBC Bridge. DB25 wiring

is shown in Table 1 on the next page. Alternatively, connect

the analog output signal from your cinema processor to the

Analog DB25 connector on the back of the DBC Bridge.

DB25 wiring is shown in Table 2 on the next page.

4. See Figure 1.2. Connect any auxiliary mic or line signals

to the female XLR Auxiliary Inputs on the back of the DBC

Network Bridge. Set the MLP switch for Mic, Line, or Phan-

tom-powered mic. Adjust gain potentiometers to optimize

gain structure.

1.2 Communicating with the DBC Network

Bridge: TCP/IQ™ Networking

1.2.1 The Network Wizard

If you are setting up a dedicated audio network that is not part of

another network, you can use the Network Wizard to set up your

network easily.

1. Open IQwic.

2. Select Setup > Network Wizard.

3. Follow the instructions on the screen.

4. When done, skip to Step 4 on page 11.

1.2.2 Introduction

The DBC Network Bridge connects directly to Crown IQ networks

with TCP/IQ protocol. This permits extensive amp and speaker

diagnostics and control by computer. The DSP functions in the

DBC Network Bridge are controlled and monitored by a computer

running IQwic software.

The computer connects to the DBC Network Bridge on a TCP/IQ

network via a Category 5 cable plugged into the Primary Network

connector on the back of the DBC Network Bridge. The TCP/IQ

format uses off-the-shelf, fast (100 Mb) Ethernet connections.

CobraNet lets you plug in a single cable for both networking and

digital audio -- this is Crown’s Single-Click solution.

Every component in a TCP/IQ network is identified by a unique

address.

1.2.3 TCP/IQ Addressing Rules

In the next section, you will be assigning TCP/IP addresses to

the devices in your network. When you do so, be sure to follow

the addressing rules below. Otherwise, the computer may not

communicate with the devices.

Turn off DHCP (automatic addressing). This will be done in

Instruction 1C, described later.

Assign each device a static (fixed) IP address. An IP address is

made of four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be

zero to 255. The last number can never be a zero or 255. For

example, 126.126.17.1 could be an IP address. 126.126.17.0

would not be a valid IP address.

Make sure that the computer and all the devices have the same

NETWORK IDs in their addresses. This tells the computer that all

those devices are on the same network. Various tools are avail-

able to determine whether devices are on the same network. In

TCP/IQ utility described later, if items are NOT on the same net-

work, they are highlighted in the list.

Make sure that each component has its own TCP/IP address, and

there are no duplicate addresses. The same holds true for IQ

addresses.

Assign a subnet mask. Make it the same for all devices on the

network. If the network you are assembling will interconnect with

other networks, your network is considered to be a subnet within

the larger network. Check with the network administrator to

determine the proper Subnet Mask for your subnet.

If you have a stand-alone network, set the Subnet Mask to

255.255.0.0 for all components, including the computer.

Note: Just because two components have the same subnet mask

does not mean that they are on the same network. As we said, the

subnet mask just tells what part of the TCP/IP address is the Net-

work ID.

Operation Manual page 7

1.2.4 TCP/IQ Setup

This example is based on a stand-alone system using switches and routers. The screen

captures were done in Windows 2000; your exact configuration may vary. If your computer

uses a network for other applications, please check with your Information Technology

Department before making any changes. Section 1.2.5 includes a helpful worksheet for

assigning addresses.

1. Turn on your computer and the rest of the system equipment. On your computer desk-

top, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections (Figure 1.3). Set a static

TCP/IP address and Subnet mask on the master computer. Document the address and

mask.

Figure 1.3 Selecting Settings > Control Panel

1A. Right-click on LAN Connections. Then select Internal > Properties (Figure 1.4).

1B. Once the Properties window opens (Figure 1.5), click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

Figure 1.5 Internal Properties Window

1C. We recommend that you uncheck “Obtain an IP address automatically”, and check

“Use the following address.” If you decide to set an IP address manually, specify an IP

address. The IP address is four numbers between 1 and 255 separated by periods. For

example, 126.126.0.1.

Select a subnet mask. The subnet mask is four numbers between 1 and 255 separated by

periods. For example, 255.255.0.0.

1D. Click OK and close the Control Panel. At this point, some computer operating systems

will require a restart.

1.2.5 TCP/IQ Addressing Worksheet

Table 3 is an example of valid TCP/IP addresses on a stand-alone network. If the TCP/IQ

network is going to be shared with other people, check with the Network Administrator for

their addressing scheme. Without getting into all of the networking rules, the table lists

approximately 20 network addresses out of a possible 65,534 addresses on this network.

There are other addresses that are valid; these are just shown as a starting point.

• The Subnet Mask for all components, including the computer, needs to be set to

255.255.0.0.

• Each computer running IQwic software must have a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. It also

must be assigned one of the addresses listed on the following table.

• A space has been left to the right of all the addresses. This area is for your notes, such as

the IQ address or the component type.

In the CD-ROM that came with your DBC Network Bridge is an Excel spreadsheet that you

can use to keep track of TCP/IQ addresses.

2. Select IQ Systems > IQwic > TCPIQ Utility (Figure 1.7). This launches the TCPIQ Utility

on the master computer.

Figure 1.7 Selecting IQ Systems > IQwic > TCPIQ Utility

2A. The master computer should discover the TCP/IQ products (Figure 1.8). If not, please

re-read Section 1.2.4 on addressing rules. Also read Chapter 6, Troubleshooting.

Figure 1.8 Example of Discovered Components

2B. Once TCP/IQ Utility has launched, select a single component and click on Set

Address. In the Set Address window (Figure 1.9), set up a TCP/IQ address—it must be

unique. Then set up the same Subnet mask for all of the components as well as the master

computer. Set the IQ address, and select Send Code.

2C. Close the software. Repeat as necessary.

Figure 1.9 Set Address Window

3. Launch the IQwic program. (Figure 1.10).
