Dante Version
: The firmware version for hardware devices, or software version for Dante software
applications
•
Device Lock
: The lock state of the device. You can also click this field to open the device lock / unlock dialog.
•
Primary Address
: The IP address assigned to the primary interface.
IP addresses are currently assigned via DHCP, or automatically self-assigned. Self-assigned addresses on
the primary interface will be in the 169.254.*.* range.
•
Primary Link Speed
: The Ethernet link speed of the primary interface
•
Secondary Address
: The IP address assigned to the secondary interface.
Self-assigned addresses on the secondary interface will be in the 172.31.*.* range. 'N/A' indicates that the
device does not support a secondary interface. 'Link down' indicates that the device supports a secondary
Dante interface, but it is not currently connected.
•
Secondary Link Speed
: The Ethernet link speed of the secondary interface. Other values are possible (as per
Secondary Address)
Note:
If no device information is displayed for a device, it can indicate a ConMon (Dante control and monitoring service)
failure on the device. The device may need to be reset or restored.
Clock Status
Dante AV uses
Precision Time Protocol (PTP) across the network to achieve time alignment throughout the
network.
The page informs the user about Dante AV devices on the network and its clock status. This is important
because it verifies if devices are in sync, which is needed to achieve the AV sync that Dante AV is well known
for. This page also allows the user to select which device is preferred as the Leader clock. If no preferred Leader
clock is selected, Dante controller will automatically decide on a device to be the Leader clock.
•
Device name:
the name/device ID of the devices at its current connected state
•
Sync:
if the device is in sync with the Leader clock or not.
o
Green means it is in sync
o
Red means it is
NOT
in sync
•
Clock Source:
Shows where the Leader clock source is from.
o
When it says Dante it means it is in sync with a device on the Dante network, or is the Leader
clock, without any clock reference from outside the network
o
When it says External it means there is an external world clock source that devices are synced to
•
Preferred Leader:
users can select preferred device(s) to be the Leader clock. When only one device is
checked, it is guaranteed to be the Leader clock. When multiple devices are checked, Dante Controller
will pick one of the checked ones to be the Leader clock.
These are common settings most users will be utilizing with Bolin Dante AV devices. For common clock sync
knowledge and more, please visit www.audinate.com for a full comprehensive breakdown of the clocking system
and how it operates.
Network Status
The Network Status tab provides a range of network-related information across all devices on the network.
This view includes subscription status, bandwidth, and latency information. It can be used to quickly identify any
potential network traffic issues.
