o
Most modern equipment uses 8 bits as it matches the size of a byte
o
Older equipment may use other data bits such as 7
•
Parity: An error detection method for serial port transmission by adding extra data bit. (Selection options: None,
Even, Odd)
o
Default is set to None
•
Stop Bits: Stop bits lets the devices to know when the end of a character is. (Selection options: 1 or 2)
o
Commonly used stop bit by most devices is 1
o
Certain rare devices use stop bit of 2
o
Both options are supplied for your convenience
Best practice is to have unified setting across all devices on the whole serial communication channel. Default setting are
the following:
•
Baud Rate: 9600
•
Data Bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop Bits: 1

Network Config Tab
Use the Network Config Tab to toggle supported devices between Redundant and Switched modes, and to specify static
IP addresses for a device's Ethernet ports.
Dante Redundancy / Switch Configuration
Depending on the manufacturer's configuration of a device, it may be possible to toggle the device
between Redundant and Switched modes, or to select a Switch Configuration.
Redundant
When a device is set to Redundant, the device will duplicate Dante media traffic to both Ethernet ports,
allowing the implementation of a redundant network via the secondary port. Not all devices support
redundancy.
Switched
When a device is set to Switched, the secondary Ethernet port will behave as a standard switch port,
allowing daisy-chaining through the device.
