D*AP8
40
Mode
[Switched / Redundant]
Redundant – The interface will duplicate the audio traffic to both
Ethernet ports. Both ports must have different
IP addresses
Switched
– The second port behaves like an Ethernet switch
port allowing daisy-chaining through the interface.
I.e. IP configuration of the second port is only
available for redundant mode.
Important Note!
When set to switched mode, do
not
connect both ports to the same network
(same Ethernet switch) if it does not support STP (Spanning Tree Protocol). This is the case for most of
the off-the-shelf (office) switches. Doing so will cause a race condition where IP packets are circling around
from the external switch to the second
Dante
(switch) port and back via the first port. This will tear down
your network and may create a bunch of new "friends" in your facility.

Important Note!
It may happen by accident that the update of the Dante module fails. E.g. if the firmware
update option: SYSTEM > Firmware Update > Option Board Update is set to "Update option boards
automatically …." and the device loses power during this process, the Dante module will be in the fail-save
state. This is indicated in the Dante Controller software.
In this case you must repair it by aid of a Dante tool. You can download it from the website:
https://www.audinate.com/content/dante-firmware-update-manager-v31009-windows
Pls. keep in mind that the PC, that runs the Dante update manager must be in the Dante network
(if you have separated the networks as recommended) and not in the device control network.
The update manager performs two tasks, the recovery from the fail-safe state and the update of an valid
Junger basic firmware for the Dante module.
After you have managed to recover from fail-safe you must power cycle the
D*AP8
and update the module
manually to the latest Junger firmware using the Dante update manager. The file is part of the zip file that
you can download from the Junger web-site.
You will find the Junger recovery firmware here (version numbers are examples only):
