Dante Redundancy / Switch Configuration
Depending on the manufacturer's configuration of a device, it may be possible to toggle the device
between Redundant and Switched modes, or to select a Switch Configuration.
Redundant
When a device is set to Redundant, the device will duplicate Dante audio traffic to both Ethernet ports,
allowing the implementation of a redundant network via the secondary port. Not all devices support
redundancy.
Switched
When a device is set to Switched, the secondary Ethernet port will behave as a standard switch port,
allowing daisy-chaining through the device.
Switch Configuration
Certain devices support specialist switching and/or redundancy configurations for the Ethernet ports. For
these devices, the top pane of the Network Config tab will be titled 'Switch Configuration'. Please refer to
the manufacturer's technical documentation for information on the supported switching configurations for
the device.
Addresses
Dante devices obtain IP addresses automatically by default, and in the vast majority of circumstances
there is no need to change the Addresses settings. However, static IP addresses can be assigned if
necessary.
To assign a static IP address:
1. Select 'manually configure an IP Address' for the appropriate Ethernet port.
2. Enter the IP Address and Netmask.
3. Click Apply.
The DNS Server and Gateway settings are optional - the device will use network defaults if they are not
specified.
Click Revert to revert back to the previous settings.
Note: Assigning static IP addresses requires a device reboot.
HA Remote
For supported devices (Dante-MY16-AUD cards v3.3.9 and up), the Device View also includes an
HA Remote tab. The HA Remote tab allows the selection of the HA Remote bridging mode for the device.
