Not all Dante devices support Device Lock. The feature will be rolled out over time via device
manufacturer firmware updates.
To check if a Dante device can be locked:
•
Use the Advanced Filter to check for locked, unlocked and unsupported devices.
•
Check the Device Info tab – devices that support Device Lock have a checkbox in the
Device Lock column; devices that do not support Device Lock show ‘N/A’ in the Device
Lock column.
•
Open the device in Device View – if the padlock icon in the toolbar is blue or red, the
device supports device lock; if it is greyed out, it does not support Device Lock.
NOTE: Earlier versions of "Dante Controller" (prior to v3.10) do not support Device Lock, and
will not actively identify when Dante devices are locked. Attempts to configure or subscribe to a
locked device in earlier versions of "Dante Controller" will fail silently.
