How can I check whether I AM using Gigabit Ethernet?

n

The Orange, right hand side Gigabit LED will be lit:

The Primary Link Speed of the card in the Device Info tab in Dante Controller shows 1Gbps:

Switch Configuration and Cabling

Cables are the most vulnerable part of a network system, and 'home-made' manually terminated cables
can be error-prone.

If you suspect cabling issues, check for:

n

Unplugged /badly connected Ethernet cables

n

Incorrectly configured switches

n

Dante devices removed or turned off

Symptoms of switch or cabling issues:

n

You cannot see (some) devices in the Dante Controller network view

n

Dante Controller shows orange ‘unsuccessful subscription’ icons

which usually means a device

that was present earlier is now missing

n

Faulty cables can lead to intermittent faults, which may be heard as dropped samples or ‘cracks’ in
the audio

n

Dante devices may appear and disappear in Dante Controller

Ethernet Switch and Cabling Checklist

n

Are all the connected link/status lights on the switch lit or flashing as expected?

o

Is the Ethernet switch powered on?

o

Is the cable correctly plugged in at the switch and the PC or equipment?
