*Note: The D2i has a label on one of the mounting flanges that shows the MAC address. This is important for initial device identification as the last 6 digits make up part of the devices default network name that is shown when the device is detected by Dante™ Controller. The full MAC address is also given on the bottom of the unit
2.1-Mounting
A typical installation will involve mounting the wall plate into a pre mounted wall box or mounting bracket. Before installation, make sure the wall box where the D2i is to be installed is pre-wired with a suitable cable back to a PoE-enabled network switch or mid-span injector. If a mid-span injector is being used, the cable should be connected to the port that supplies both Ethernet and power (refer to the devices manual if unsure which port is which).
Attach the network cable from the switch/mid-span injector to the Ethernet port of the D2i. If the switch or mid-span injector is already running and PoE is enabled, the unit will power up and the green status LED on the front of the device will turn on.
If using with an Axiom expansion device, a second suitable cable must also be installed and attached to the Axiom port on the D2i and connected Axiom device. Refer to the connected Axiom device manual to insure proper configuration for daisy-chaining.
With the cable(s) attached, carefully place the D2i into the wall box taking care to not trap the cabling. Once in place, secure it with the screws provided. Once the unit is secured in the wall box, fit the Decora plate and secure it with the screws provided.
The D2i comes in a single gang US Decora style form factor and may be mounted in most US single old and new work back boxes and mud-rings. Given the single gang size, the D2i may be mounted in larger gang boxes with other single gang form factor products to provide flexible AV system modularity where needed.
*Note: CAD drawings can be downloaded from the QSC website. Please contact QSC for any further product related information that is not accessible on the website.
Figure 4- Dimensional Drawing
2.2- Status Reporting
The D2i is equipped with status reporting features. Upon power up, the front panel LEDs will light solid yellow then change white for 3 seconds upon succeeding. The device will then change to STATUS mode if no audio signal is present after 5 seconds. The LED states below are reflected when in STATUS mode. The status LEDs may be disabled using Attero Tech by QSC unIFY Control Panel.
| LED State | Status |
| Both Flashing Red | Critical boot error(Contact Tech Support) |
| Both Flashing White | Identify |
| Both Flashing Blue | MCU Updating |
| Both Flashing Green | Factory Reset has been triggered |
| Both Flashing Yellow | Factory Mode |
| Top White/Bottom Off | Clock Master |
| Top Off/Bottom White | Clock Synced |
When audio signal is present, the device will change to SIGNAL mode and the LEDs will show the following states. These states apply to both panel LEDs.
| LED State | Status |
| Off | No signal |
| Green | Has signal |
| Red | Clipping |
3- Device Configuration
Certain 3rd party manufacturers provide audio routing functionality from within their own configuration application. Check the applications manual/help or contact the manufacturer in question to see if this is supported. If not supported by a 3 ^rd party tool, the audio routing may be carried out using Audinate's Dante ^™ Controller. Dante ^™ Controller can be obtained from the Audinate website (www.audiante.com/) and is available for both Mac and PC. Instructions on how to use this application and about setting up routes on a Dante ^™ network can also be found on Audinate's website.
*Note: When using Dante controller, the D2i will be shown using a default device name of "D2i-#####" where '#####' is the last six characters of the devices MAC address.
3.1 - IP Address Setup
********************************************************************** IMPORTANT *******
Failure to correctly configure IP addresses will not allow an D2i device to correctly authenticate in the unIFY Control Panel software and while it will show up in Dante™ Controller, the input and output channels won't be visible and routing of audio to and from the D2i will not be possible.
***********************************************************
In order to configure a D2i both set up audio routing and to update firmware, the PC will need to be able to communicate with it over the network. While all Dante™/AES67 devices will be discovered regardless of the IP address setup on the PC, communication can only occur if the PC and the device have compatible IP addresses.
By default, D2i is set to get a dynamic IP address. As with all Dante™/AES67 devices, if the D2i device does not find a DHCP server to retrieve an IP address from, it will give itself an automatic private IP address (APIPA) instead. An APIPA is always in the range 169.254.x.y.
To ensure communication, the PC can either be set to get a dynamic IP address, or be given a static IP address in the range 169.254.x.y. The PC may require a restart for the changes to take effect.
Further information on IP setup for an audio system using Dante™ can be found in the FAQ's on the Audinate website (https://www.audinate.com/resources/faqs).
3.1 - Software Control
The D2i device parameters such as preamp control and input switching are fully supported in Attero Tech by QSC's unIFY Control Panel software (V3.5 or later). Refer to the Help documentation within the unIFY application for support.
3.2 - Automatic Low Power Mode
The D2i supports a low power mode to minimize power consumption and internal device temperatures. When enabled via unIFY Control Panel, the unit will exhibit the following behaviors.
When enabled, the D2i will enter low power mode after detecting no audio signal presence on all analog input channels for the configured inactivity timeout
When active, the front panel LEDs will blink white for one second, once a minute.
Note: Automatic Low Power Mode is off by default and is not recommended if live control/monitoring of settings is needed.
3.3 - 3 ^rd Party Contol
The D2i supports 3 ^rd party control allowing external system to manage the D2i's settings such as phantom power, mic/line gain options and control of presets. This is available to anyone to use with any device capable of sending and receiving UDP messages.
Information on the commands the D2i supports as well as details of how to use the 3 ^e party UDP interface can be found in the unIFY 3 ^rd party Software API document, available from the registered users section of the Attero Tech by QSC website (Go to www.qsc.com).
3.4 - Factory Reset
********************************************************************************************** IMPORTANT **********************************************************************************************
The factory reset returns the entire device to its factory defaults. Using this feature will mean all custom Dante™/AES67 settings and all audio power-on default settings will be cleared.
*NOTE: The factory reset is a useful way of quickly restoring communications with a device which has an unknown static IP address as a factory reset returns the device's network settings to getting a dynamic IP. Having successfully completed a factory reset of the device, setting the PC's IP address to also obtain a dynamic IP address should then allow the PC to communicate fully with that device.
The factory reset button is accessed through a small hole on the side of the unit (Figure 5) using a small screwdriver or a paperclip. A factory reset is initiated by pressing and holding this button for 5 seconds or more while the device is powered on. If done correctly, the status LED will blink green for 3 seconds then turn yellow. This indicates the D2i has entered factory mode.
If Dante™ Controller or other Dante™ device discovery software is in use, the device may show up as "Ultimo-xxxxxx". This simply indicated the device is in factory mode.
To complete the factory reset and revert back to normal operation. Simple toggle the factory reset button again with a short press and release or power cycle the device.
Having applied a successful factory reset, on the Dante™/AES67 side, customized device name and channel names will be cleared and any receive flow subscriptions will be removed. The network settings will also be reset so the device will return to retrieving an IP address dynamically.
3.5 - Firmware Updates
The D2i has the ability to be updated in the field should it be required. Updates are applied via the network using Attero Tech by QSC unIFY Control Panel's smart firmware update facility. The latest D2i SFU file is available from the QSC website.
