Dante Redundancy
When [Network - Dante Redundancy Mode] is set to On, the 970’s Primary and Secondary Ethernet
ports both transmit Dante Audio data over separate networks. This provides a fail safe of the Dante
system if one of the networks should fail.
In Dante Redundancy Mode, two separate networks must be run and they CANNOT be connected to one
another. Connect any computer running Dante Controller to the 970’s PRI Ethernet network.
See http://www.audinate.com/ for further information on the Dante protocol.
