Installation Guide Core 256

Mechanical installation and low fan noise

Core 256 is fitted with one very quiet fan to ensure optimum operating temperature. Under normal operating

conditions and correct installation, the fans are not audible in the studio environment. The fans are temperature-

controlled, i.e. the rotation speed, and thereby noise, is dependent of the temperature inside Core 256.

The optimal air flow is through the ventilation openings in the front panel to the rear of the unit. When the unit

is installed, considerations have to be made to ensure proper air circulation for the air leaving the rear of the

unit. The speed of the low noise fan will be increased automatically to keep the internal temperature low if there

is insufficient airflow. If the internal temperature exceeds 60ºC / 140ºF a temperature alarm will appear in the

DADman software and is also indicated by the red error LED on the front panel.

Network configuration

Core 256 is equipped with two GigaBit Ethernet connectors, and internally it has an Ethernet switch, a controller

part and a part for the IP Audio option powered by Dante™. The network connectors can operate as two

"parallel" connectors for the internal switch, or as dual connectors for redundant IP audio operation. In this case,

controlling the unit is done via Net port 1.

Core 256 has two to three different IP addresses: One for the unit control via DADman and one or two for the IP

audio in single or redundant mode respectively. The network configuration is managed separately for the

controlling interface and the IP audio interface and can have a different configuration from the controlling

interface. The controlling interface is used for controlling Core 256 from DADman and the IP audio interface is

used for interfacing Dante IP audio on a network.

The factory default setting of the IP address of the controller port of the Core 256 is 10.0.7.20. This IP address

can be changed manually via DADman, or it can be set to be automatically assigned by a DHCP server/router on

the network.

Control software installation

Computer recommendation

The DADman control program operates on any Windows or MacOS based computer and is

frequently maintained for compliance with the latest OS versions

Program installation

This section will take you through the installation procedure for the DADman computer control program.

Core 256 is controlled from a PC or MAC via the Thunderbolt 3 connection or by a network connection. The

PC/MAC and Core 256 units must be connected on the same subnet.

For control via Thunderbolt 3, the DAD Thunderbolt 3 driver has to be installed.

The DADman remote control program installation

Install the DADman program by downloading the application from the DAD support website:

www.digitalaudiosupport.com. Follow the instructions of the install program. Please note that there are

two different program downloads; One for Windows and one for MacOS.

Create a shortcut for the DADman program on the desktop.

Double-click on the DADman icon and launch the DADman application.
