Connectivity
2.2.1
Network
Dana requires Ethernet connectivity for configuration through its embedded web-based user interface:
•
A standard-straight through Ethernet CAT5/6 network is required for connectivity through a network switch.
•
A crossover CAT-5/6 cable is required for direct connectivity to a PC/Mac machine that doesn’t support
auto-switching.
Depending on the Dana server hardware configuration, two types of network ports may be provided:
•
1x Ethernet port to be used for control over the web based user interface. This port requires a simple
10/100MB connection to a network switch or directly to a PC.
•
If the Digital Audio Slot is fitted with the AVB interface, 2 x RJ-45 connectors provide a redundant audio
streaming interface. If redundancy isn’t required a single Ethernet connection to a network switch is
sufficient. AVB requires at minimum 100MB connectivity.
Note that both network connections can co-exist on the same network/ switch without any issues. Please consult the
minimum system requirements
section for more information.
