3 – Device Configuration
There are two parts of the device that require software to setup. First the audio routing, and second the configurable
features of the device itself.
The audio routing should be carried out using any application that supports Dante audio routing. This could be from a
3rd party manufacturer or be Audinate’s own Dante Controller. Dante Controller can be obtained from the Audinate
website (
www.Audinate.com
). Instructions on how to use this software and about setting up routes on a Dante network
can also be found on Audinate’s website.
*Note:
When using Dante controller, the unD3IO will be shown using a default device name of unD3IO-###### where
‘######’ is the last six characters of the devices MAC address.
Configuration of the unD3IO specific features is carried out using the Attero Tech unIFY Control Panel application. This
application is available from the Attero Tech website (
www.atterotech.com
). It is used to initially configure the device
and can examine and modify the device specific features such as mic/line gain settings, phantom power, and output
boost options. The unD3IO features are supported in unIFY Control Panel V1.3 or later.
The unD3IO also supports 3
rd
party control systems by configuration with direct UDP messages. Further information on
using this facility can be found in the unIFY 3
rd
Party Control – Software API document available from the Attero Tech
website.
3.1 – IP Address Setup
******************************************************* IMPORTANT ****************************************************
Failure to correctly configure IP addresses will not allow an unD3IO device to correctly authenticate in the unIFY Control
Panel software and while it will show up in Dante Controller, the input and output channels won’t be visible and routing
of audio to and from the unD3IO will not be possible.
****************************************************************************************************************************
In order to configure an unD3IO both to set up its internal parameters and also setup audio routing, the PC will need to
be able to communicate with it over the network. While all Dante devices will be discovered regardless of the IP address
setup on the PC, communication can only occur if the PC and the device have compatible IP addresses.
By default, unD3IO is set to get a dynamic IP address. As with all Dante devices, if the unD3IO device does not find a
DHCP server to retrieve an IP address from, it will give itself an automatic private IP address (APIPA) instead. An APIPA
is always in the range 169.254.x.y.
To ensure communication, the PC can either be set to get a dynamic IP address, or be given a static IP address in the
range 169.254.x.y. The PC may require a restart for the changes to take affect.
Further information on IP setup for an audio system using Dante can be found in the FAQ’s on the Audinate website
(

).
3.2 – Software Installation
After downloading the application, run the .exe and the first screen to appear will be the license agreement and options
screen.
