Quick Start Guide
VNET2-DANTE BRIDGE
PodWare Setup
The PodWare application uses a direct connection via Ethernet to communicate with the
connected devices via the Dante Bridge.
Using PodWare V5.68 or later, select and add the Dante Bridge network under the Networks ->
Add Networks dialogue.
You can connect multiple Dante bridges to PodWare via Ethernet. The Bridges will be
transparent to PodWare and the devices will appear under the Dante Bridge network in the
device tree.
Connecting a Computer
You can connect your computer to the Dante Bridge in one of two ways:
• •
By direct connection from the Ethernet port of your computer to the Dante Bridge
• •
By connecting your computer to an Ethernet switch, and connecting the same switch
(or another switch on the same network) to the Dante Bridge
Manual IP addressing is not required with the Dante Bridge. It is set by default to DHCP, so your
DHCP server will automatically allocate the IP address. If there is no DHCP server, it will use
“zero config”. In either case, addressing is fully automatic. For more information on this topic,
please refer to information pertaining to automatic configuration on the Audinate web site.
