4.2 Connecting devices with the Dante
TM
adapter
The Dante
TM
adapter can be connected to a Dante
TM
network via a standard 100 Mb/s twisted-pair
Ethernet cable (CAT5e). This individual connection is responsible for the data transfer as well as for
the power supply. Depending on the cable length and shield, we do not recommend installing cables
parallel to power supply lines.
The Dante
TM
adapter requires a switch that supports PoE (48 V). If a switch without
PoE support is available, a PoE injector (compatible with 802.3af or 802.3at) must be
connected in series.
w
NOTICE
Device damage due to a non-compliant PoE injector!
Non-compliant PoE injectors can damage the Dante
TM
adapter. The warranty is invalidated in this
case.
T
Only use a PoE injector that complies with IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at; class1
w
CAUTION
Danger of damage to hearing!
Signal peaks may occur when an audio
source or sink is connected.
T
Before making connections, mute the
signal path of the peripheral devices.
T
Connect the device depending on the desired
application.
e.g. audio source for LINE IN, audio sink for LINE OUT.
T
Connect the Dante
TM
adapter to the PoE switch using a
network cable.
T
If the switch does not support PoE:
Use a PoE injector.
LEDs light up once the Dante
TM
adapter is supplied with
power via the switch or the PoE injector.
The Dante
TM
adapter is ready for operation.
Set up the desired audio connection with the "Dante
TM
controller" software.
