The DA Series amplifier supports Dante networking. The two- gigabit ports are internally connected via a Gigabit switch to
simplify wiring and eliminate the need for external network switches in small systems. Control and Dante audio are available
in both ports by default. This configuration can be checked from the front panel screen under Node Info > ETH 1/ETH2.
Note: the DA does not support Dante redundancy, therefore, do never connect the two ethercon ports to separate primary
and secondary Dante networks simultaneously.
IP Addressing
The factory default network configuration is AUTO IP/DHCP.
STATIC IP policy can also be adopted and configured through ArmoníaPlus or the screen panel (see ‘Net Config’ section).
If a DHCP server is not active in the network, the amplifier platform initiates an auto-configuration with a local numeric
network address (of the type 169.254.X.Y and subnet mask 255.255.0.0).
It is recommended to always turn on the DHCP server before connecting the amplifiers.
ArmoníaPlus System Manager is the default interface that allows setting and customisation of the DA Series amplifiers. Note
that whenever the DA is connected to ArmoníaPlus, the front panel display operations are disabled.
ArmoníaPlus can be installed on a PC running Windows (XP SP3 and higher).
For a successful connection, both ArmoníaPlus and the DA Series must belong to the same subnet.
