There are two parts of the device that require software to setup. First
the audio routing, and second the configurable features of the device
itself. Both should be carried out using ControlSpace
®
Designer
™
software.
Note:
When using Dante controller, the EP40-D will be shown using a
default device name of EP40-D######.
IP Address Setup
Failure to correctly configure IP addresses will not allow an
EP40-D device to authenticate in ControlSpace Designer
software. The input and output channels won’t be visible and routing of
audio to and from the EP40-D will not be possible.
In order to configure an EP40-D both to set up its internal parameters
and also setup audio routing, the PC will need to be able to commu-
nicate with it over the network. While all Dante devices will be discovered
regardless of the IP address setup on the PC, communication can only
occur if the PC and the device have compatible IP addresses.
By default, EP40-D is set to get a dynamic IP address. As with all Dante
devices, if the EP40-D device does not find a DHCP server to retrieve
an IP address from, it will give itself an automatic private IP address
(APIPA) instead. An APIPA is always in the range 169.254.x.y.
To ensure communication, the PC can either be set to get a dynamic IP
address or be given a static IP address in the range 169.254.x.y.
The PC may require a restart for the changes to take affect.
