Setting Up
The ENC 1202’s address

5.
If necessary, set the ENC 1202’s audio and network parameters.
This requires the use of a computer whose Ethernet port is connected to the primary
Dante network (or temporarily to the ENC 1202’s PRIMARY port). This configuration
routine may only be necessary once, because the settings can be stored.
Like many commercially available IP routers, the ENC 1202 contains a web interface
that can be accessed like a standard internet page. It also looks similar. That is where
the available parameters are located. See “3.3 The ENC 1202’s address” for how to
access the ENC 1202’s parameters.
Notes:
• See “4 Configuring the Unit via its Web Interface” on page 15 for the available parameters and
what they do.
• WiFi is only supported for configuration activities using the Dante Controller software (see
below). Audio data cannot be transmitted or received via WiFi.
3.3 The ENC 1202’s address
This device can be configured using one of the following internet browsers: Chrome,
Firefox, Internet Explorer (6.0 or newer) or Safari.
By default, the ENC 1202 is configured to automatically request IP addresses for both
Dante ports via
DHCP.
If you already know the IP address, enter it into the browser’s address bar and press the
ENTER key on the computer keyboard:
192.168.1.34 (this is only an example)
As an alternative, you can enter the ENC 1202’s host name into your browser’s address
bar. The host name looks something like this:
ENC-1202-XXXXXX.local
“XXXXXX” represents the last six alphanumeric characters (without the colons) of the
PRIMARY Dante port’s MAC address. You can find this MAC address on the ENC 1202’s
rear or bottom panel. The host name may look something like this:
ENC-1202-0e1530.local
(In this case, “0e:15:30” would be the last six alphanumeric characters of the MAC
address.)
If additional ENCHORUS devices are connected to the network, you can select them using
the “4.9 Browse Network” (p. 42) tab.
3.3.1 Dante Controller
Another way to check the IP addresses of the remaining devices on the Dante network is
by using the “Device Info” item of the
Dante Controller software. Dante Controller is free
software that can be downloaded from Audinate’s website (www.audinate.com). Dante
Controller detects and displays all Dante devices connected to the network and allows
you to both view information about them and to edit a number of settings.
