Solid green indicates that the Yamaha host equipment and the Dante-MY16-AUD2 card are in

lock.

Solid orange indicates that the Yamaha host equipment and the Dante-MY16-AUD2 card are

not in lock. Obtaining sync lock may take up to 45 seconds when multiple cards are installed. If
sync is not achieved in 45 seconds check the word clock configuration in both the Dante-MY16-
AUD2the card and the Yamaha equipment.

Intermittent periods of solid red indicate network errors are being detected (such as dropped or

corrupt packets).
