The Dante
Controller
The Dante Controller is a free software utility available from
Audinate, Dante’s developer. It is an essential software means
of finding, setting-up and controlling Dante-enabled devices on
your network. It may be downloaded for operation under ei-
ther Windows or Macintosh operating systems from the follow-
ing link.

SNMP OPERATION
Overview
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) allows other
equipment on the same Local Area Network (LAN) to communi-
cate directly with your 552, and for your unit to send alarms
and supplementary information to other equipment on the
network.
The 552 will interface directly with a network controller, tech-
nically known as the SNMP ‘Manager.’ The 552 has an embed-
ded ASCII text file called a Management Information Base, or
MIB. In setting up for SNMP operation, the MIB file will have to
be downloaded from your unit through the Web interface and
uploaded to the SNMP Manager. This is detailed later-on.
Mode
The SNMP submenu default
Mode:
setting is
Disabled
, which in-
hibits communication between the 552 and the SNMP Manager.
Changing
Mode:
to
Read Only
allows the 552 to be interrogated
by the SNMP Manager, so that programmed setup parameters,
alarms, etc. can be integrated with other equipment on the net-
work.
Setting the
Mode:
to
Read & Write
allows the SNMP Manager to
send commands to your unit.
Security
SNMP ‘Communities’ serve as passwords for this function. In
the
Read Community:
and
Write Community:
fields, overtype the
factory default public and private entries, entering text that is
specific to the read/write strings on your SNMP Manager moni-
toring device. You must do a
Save
after entering your text.
Ports
The default SNMP Ports,
SNMP Port: 161
and
Trap Port: 162
, are
customary for a majority of SNMP operations. Overtype these
defaults to change them and do a
Save
.
Trap
Destinations
When the 552
initiates
an alarm, rather than being
queried
or
polled
for one, the alarm is known as a ‘trap.’ Three local net-
work IP addresses may be entered in the
Trap Destination 1:
,
2:
,
and
3:
fields, each corresponding to other devices on the LAN
that require alarm notifications. Overtype the defaults with
valid IP addresses of other equipment and do a
Save
.
