Chapter 4: Connecting D-Control
D-Control Connections
D-Control units require power, Ethernet and USB connections to operate with Pro Tools. An optional footswitch connection is
also available on the Main Unit. The connectors on the back panel of the D-Control Main Unit are shown in Figure 48.
Be sure to make all connections with your D-Control units and computer turned off.
Power Connections
Each D-Control unit (Main Unit and Fader Modules) and the
XMON Monitor Interface requires its own power connection.
D-Control Main Units, Fader Modules, and XMON Interfaces
are auto power-selecting (100V to 240V) and automatically
work with a standard modular power cord when connected to
an AC receptacle in any country. A power cable is provided
with each D-Control unit and the XMON interface.
To make D-Control power connections:
For each D-Control unit and the XMON Interface, connect
the included AC power cord the unit and to a power source.
Ethernet Connections
Each D-Control unit communicates with Pro Tools using
Ethernet. An Ethernet cable is included with each D-Control
unit. A 10-BaseT Ethernet hub (not included) is required to
connect D-Control units to the host computer.
To make D-Control Ethernet connections:
1 Install the Ethernet hub according to its instructions, apply
power to it, and verify that it is functioning properly.
2 Connect the Ethernet hub to the Ethernet port on your
computer.
3 For each D-Control unit, connect one end of the supplied
Ethernet cable to a port on the Ethernet hub, and the other
end to the Ethernet port on the back of the unit. Do not use
any port labelled for LAN connections.

Connection sequence to the Ethernet hub does not mat-
ter, because the order of the units can be configured
from within Pro Tools.
