DSAB Configuration
5-4 EFIS-D10A Installation Guide
Initial Setup
As mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, configure your DSAB network only after all other
installation steps have been performed, including updating all products to the latest version of
firmware available from the Dynon Avionics web site at
downloads.dynonavionics.com . To
begin configuration, enter the EFIS > SETUP > DSAB menu. A full-page menu appears with
three options: STATUS, CONFIGURATION, and BRIGHTNESS. Push DOWN▼ to select
CONFIGURATION and then SEL► to enter the CONFIGURATION submenu. Note that if you
press CONFIGURATION from an EMS-only product (via EMS > SETUP > DSAB), the display
prompts you to begin the configuration process from an EFIS-based product.
If this is not your first time configuring your DSAB network, a prompt appears asking if you
wish to re-configure the network. If you do not want to re-configure, press NO; otherwise, press
YES to proceed with configuration as if this is a first-time install.
The first screen in the configuration process asks you to power on all devices in the system
before pressing CONFIGURE NOW (button 1 or 2). After doing this, a second screen appears
asking you to wait while the instrument detects all other devices connected via DSAB. While
doing this, it assigns both the Bus Master and EFIS roles to itself.
During network detection, the Bus Master attempts to automatically assign as many roles as it
can. The following table describes the logic used in assigning roles for network devices.
How role is assigned
Bus Master
 Auto-assigned to instrument user is configuring on.
EFIS
 Auto-assigned to instrument user is configuring on.
EMS
 If one EMS detected, assigned automatically.
 If Bus Master is EMS (i.e., FlightDEK-D180) assigned automatically.
 If more than one non-bus-master EMS detected, user must assign.
OAT
 If one OAT detected, assigned automatically.
 If more than one OAT detected, user must assign.
 Note that for an OAT to be used it must be connected to an instrument
assigned the EFIS or EMS role (i.e., if configuring DSAB on a
FlightDEK-D180 with no OAT attached, the OAT role cannot be assigned
to another instrument in the system as the FlightDEK-D180 is already
assigned both the EFIS and EMS roles).
Compass
 Auto-assigned to instrument providing the EFIS/Bus Master roles.
AP CTRL
PANEL
 If one AP74 detected, assigned automatically.
 If more than one AP74 detected, error displayed: Not a supported
configuration.
HS34
 If one HS34 detected, assigned automatically.
 If more than one HS34 detected, error displayed: Not a supported
configuration.
