12 DANTE parameters configuration
This section only applies to SERV/LINK-DANTE.
12.1 Connecting to a Network
In order to use your SERV/LINK DANTE, you will need to set up an Ethernet network connecting:
● The SERV/LINK DANTE unit. Connection is made through the Eth port LAN Audio ETH0/PRI on the rear panel.
● The computer running Dante Controller (if it’s not the same computer). Connection is made through the computer network
adapter.
● Any other Dante-enabled audio device you may have
Gigabit Ethernet Support
Your SERV/LINK DANTE is designed to perform with Gigabit Ethernet networks. Connecting it to a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet devices is not
supported. Make sure the port of the Ethernet switch SERV/LINK DANTE is connect to supports Gigabit Ethernet.
Choosing a Gigabit Ethernet Network Switch
You get the best performance out of your Dante network even if you use standard Gigabit Ethernet network switches. Dante uses standard
Ethernet and IP Quality of Service (QoS) to ensure its high-quality synchronization is not affected, even on loaded networks. Make sure
that you choose network switches which have the following features.
● DSCP-based QoS with four queues and strict priority queuing
● ACL filtering
● Fiber-optic cable support including SFP pluggable modules (if you need to run long cables)
● Managed network switches which allow you to manage the network switches and monitor your network If you have chosen a
network switch that has been used before, you may need to check its settings again. For more information about choosing
network switches, please visit the Support section of the Audinate website ( www.audinate.com ).
Choosing Ethernet Cabling
Dante uses completely standard Ethernet and IP, so it also uses standard Ethernet cabling (STP), including Cat5e or higher and
fiber-optic. Make sure your Ethernet cables and ports are in good condition. Remember that Ethernet cables which are Cat5e or higher
have a maximum length of 100 meters* at speeds of 1Gbps (the cable length limit depend on the cable type). If you require longer
distances, you can use fiber-optic cables.
Network Configuration
The Dante Controller application from Audinate allows setting up the audio routing over a Dante network.
Please refer to the Audinate’s WEB site for information about the Dante Controller, and for downloading it.
