Version 1.0 Page

3.2 Connecting and Setting Up

3.2.1 General Considerations

The ENC 1202 can be used as a desktop device, or installed in a 19” rack using one of the

optional rackmount kits (see p. 44).

3.2.2 Connections

Proceed as follows to connect the ENC 1202:

1. Place the ENC 1202 in the desired location.

For practical reasons, we advise placing it close to the relevant signal sources or desti-

nations.

Use the supplied power cord to connect the ENC 1202’s POWER 1 socket to a wall

outlet.

For critical projects where downtimes are not an option, we recommend adding a

second (optional) power cord. Connect it to the ENC 1202’s

POWER 2 socket and to a

separate power circuit. Doing so allows the second power supply to take over if the

POWER 1 socket stops working.

3. Use a CAT-5 or higher cable to connect the ENC 1202’s PRIMARY Dante port to the IP

network or directly to your computer.

You have the option of creating a second, redundant, Dante network for the available

devices:

• Connect the ENC 1202’s PRIMARY port to a router/switch of the

first audio network.

• Connect the ENC 1202’s SECONDARY port to a router/switch of the

second audio net-

work.

Be sure to connect the PRIMARY and SECONDARY Dante ports to two separate net-

works that are completely isolated from each other. Only then will Dante be able to

automatically switch to the SECONDARY port if an error occurs on the first (primary)

network.

Caution:

• Dante redundancy requires that both the PRIMARY and SECONDARY interfaces are connected

using the

same link speed. For example, if the PRIMARY interface is connected to a 1Gbps

switch port, the SECONDARY interface must also be connected to a 1Gbps switch port.

Notes:

• NEVER change the routing settings of the secondary network. These are configured automati-

cally by Dante. Be sure to ONLY change the configuration of the primary network.

• Wherever possible, use a gigabit network topology with a minimum number of hops (e.g.

switches) among Dante devices.

• The SECONDARY port can also be used for daisy-chaining scenarios by setting “Dante Redun-

dancy after Reboot” (p. 24) to “Switched”.

4. Connect the required devices to the ENC 1202’s inputs and outputs.
