Important Notes
*
Dante port connections are identified via MAC addresses on the Dante Controller. Each port
on all CDC MC Dante units has a unique MAC address. The User must work out the MAC
address of each unit, and port, by connecting one at a time to the network, and observing
what device (MAC address) appears on the controller.
•
Frequencies 192 kHz and 176.4 kHz are not currently enabled
•
DIP switches 6, 7, 8 are not used
•
Definitions of Master / Slave operation above DO NOT relate to MegaCOMMS. The CDC MC
Dante will always operate as MegaCOMMS slave either connected to the CDC MC Router or
Cadac digital console hardware.
•
One Dante port Tx connection may not be routed to a Rx connection from the same port
