DA-6400/DA-6400dp Procedures to enable cascade operation Audio clock synchronization is necessary for cascade connections and connecting multiple DA-6400 units. See step 4 below for details about audio clock synchronization. 1. Set CASCADE MODE to ON on all units. 2. Set the CASCADE ID of one unit to MASTER , and set the other unit to SLAVE-01. 
 3. Connect all the units to the same network. When connecting to a network that has a DHCP server or when only the DA-6400 and a hub are connected in a network that does not have a DHCP server, set the IP SETUP MODE item to AUTO on the NETWORK menu page. When computers or devices other than DA-6400 units are connected on a network that does not have a DHCP server and only the DA-6400 and a hub are connected, set the IP SETUP MODE item to STATIC on the NETWORK menu page. Also set the IP ADDR of all devices so that the same segments have different values.

Procedures to enable cascade operation
Audio clock synchronization is necessary for cascade connections and connecting multiple DA-6400 units.
See step 4 below for details about audio clock synchronization.
1.
Set
CASCADE MODE
to
ON
on all units.
2.
Set the
CASCADE ID
of one unit to
MASTER
, and set the other unit to
SLAVE-01
.
3.
Connect all the units to the same network.
When connecting to a network that has a DHCP server or when only the DA-6400 and a hub are connected in a network that does
not have a DHCP server, set the
IP SETUP
MODE
item to
AUTO
on the
NETWORK
menu page.
When computers or devices other than DA-6400 units are connected on a network that does not have a DHCP server and only the
DA-6400 and a hub are connected, set the
IP SETUP
MODE
item to
STATIC
on the
NETWORK
menu page. Also set the
IP ADDR
of all devices so that the same segments have different values.

Connections for cascade synchronization
When setting and connections are completed for 1–3, implementation of the cascade connection will automatically start.
When all the cascade connections are established,
OK
and the number of cascade connected units will appear in the
CASCADE
STATUS
line on the
CASCADE
menu page of every device.
In addition, the cascade setting indicator will appear on the Home Screen.
Furthermore, unless there is an error or other issue, the
INFO
indicator will light blue.
4.
Audio clock synchronization requires routing that is separate from the cascade connections.
For this reason, all the units should be connected so that audio clock can be synchronized.
