You may need to reboot the PCs or Macs if they have active previous IP network configurations
All devices will automatically be assigned IP network configurations.
Connection via a Redundant Network
Your Dante-MY16-AUD cards support glitch-free Dante Redundancy, to protect you against possible cable
disconnections or switch failures.
This configuration is applicable if you require complete glitch-free audio redundancy, for example in a live sound
environment with longer cable runs, and you might have additional Dante-enabled devices that also support
redundancy.
Dante redundancy works by using two completely independent and separate networks, the Primary Network and
the Secondary Network.
To setup and use Dante Redundancy, connect your Dante-MY16-AUD cards and other redundant Dante-enabled
audio equipment using duplicate Gigabit switches and Ethernet cables as shown below. Connect your PC or Mac
running Dante Virtual Soundcard and other non-redundant Dante-enabled audio equipment to the Primary
Network.
Connect your computer running Dante Controller to the Primary Network, or optionally to both networks, if your
computer has two or more network interfaces.
The primary and secondary networks
MUST NOT
be interconnected at any point.
NOTE:
Dante Virtual Soundcard does not support Dante Redundancy or connection to Dante
secondary networks.
Make sure any PCs or Macs are set to automatically configure their IP address
Power on the switches
Connect your Primary Cat5e or Cat6 cables from each device to the central Primary network Gigabit
switch and ports
Connect your Secondary Cat5e or Cat6 cables from each device that supports redundancy to the
central Secondary network Gigabit switch and ports
You may need to reboot the PCs or Macs if they have active previous IP network configurations
