5 Configuration of the Dante
Network
WALL-05DTM is configured as a receiver in the
Dante network by means of the program “Dante
Controller”, available as a free download on
the website of the company Audinate . The set-
tings made via the program will be saved in
the corresponding transmitters and receivers of
the Dante network so that the program is only
required for network configuration but not for
normal operation .
Download and install the program “Dante
Controller” from the Audinate website via the
following Internet address:

5.1 Configuration of the device with
the Dante Controller
1) Start the Dante Controller .
2) Wait for the desired Dante transmitter and
WALL-05DTM to appear in the matrix (under
“Receivers”) .
Note:
If WALL-05DTM or one of the devices fails to
appear, the reason may be that
– the corresponding device has not been switched
on
– the device is in a different subnet
– the device is not able to synchronize with the other
Dante devices .
However, if one of the two last-mentioned reasons
applies, the Dante device should at least appear
under the tab “Device Info” or “Clock Status” in the
network view . It may solve the problem to switch
the device off and on again or to disconnect and
reconnect the LAN connection . For further informa-
tion please refer to the user manual of the Dante
Controller from Audinate .
3) In the menu bar of the Dante Controller, se-
lect “Device/Device View” or use the shortcut
Ctrl+D . The Device View window will open .
4) Select “WALL-05DTM” in the bar of the drop-
down menu appearing beneath the menu
bar .
5) The third bar can be used to indicate infor-
mation on the device and to make settings .
Select the tab “Device Config” (
☞
fig . 3) .
6) In the field “Rename Device”, the name used
for the device in the Dante network can be
changed (e . g . to a specific name referring
to the place of installation) . Click “Apply” to
confirm the change .
7) Adjust the “Sample Rate” to the desired
Dante transmitter or set a different common
sample rate for both devices, if required .
8) Use the tab “Network Config” to change the
network settings for the Dante interface of
WALL-05DTM, if required .
5.2 Routing with the Dante Controller
In the “Network View” window under the
“Routing” tab, the transmitters of the Dante
network are arranged in columns (“Transmit-
ters”) and the receivers in rows (“Receivers”) .
The transmitting and receiving channels of the
devices can be assigned to each other via this
matrix .
1) Click on the
⊞
in the column of the desired
Dante transmitter to display its transmitting
channels and click on the
⊞
in the row of
WALL-05DTM to display its receiving channel
(
☞
fig . 4) .
2) Navigate from the column of the desired
transmitting channel to the row of the re-
ceiving channel of WALL-05DTM and click
the field at the intersection point .
3) Wait for the field to show a green circle with
a white check mark
