Connecting a PC
Use a standard DB9 (male/female) computer
cable to connect a PC to the DX810. The DX-810-PC
application uses COM1 on the PC by default. You
can select a different COM port by clicking on
Advanced in the top menu bar and selecting
Configure COM Ports. Refer to “Configure COM
Ports” on page 16 for more information. Connect
the COM port on the PC to one of the COMM
PORTs on the DX810 (front or rear).
Upgrading the Firmware
Before attempting to go "Online" with the
DX810, you must upgrade the firmware in the
DX810's flash memory.
1. Connect the PC to the DX810 as described above.
2. Open the DX810 v3.0 software. DO NOT click the
On Line button yet.
3. Click Advanced in the top menu bar and select
Firmware Upgrade.
4. Click Select File in the Firmware Upgrade window
and the Select OS Upgrade File dialog box opens.
Browse to the location of the OS upgrade file (with
a .pkt extension) on your hard drive, CD, or floppy
drive and click Open, then click Upgrade. You can
monitor the progress in the Firmware Upgrade window.
5. Upgrade Successful appears in the Status window
when it is complete.
6. Close the Firmware Upgrade window and click the
On Line button to connect to the DX810.
Important!
Note: Due to software reallocation necessary to
provide new features in Version 3.0, files from
previous DX810 (DX-10e) versions are not
compatible with version 3.0. You will need to
create new version 3.0 sessions and manually
reload all settings from previous versions.

Caution: To adjust a fader, click on the fader knob
to select it. Ctrl+click to set the fader to unity. If you
click above or below the knob, it will jump to the
point where you clicked. This is useful to move the
fader quickly to where you want it to be. However,
be careful not to inadvertently click above a fader
knob. A sudden jump in volume will occur.
