Dante Transmit Flows
For each device, there is a limit of
2 transmit flows
and
2 receive flows
. A single flow consists or either a single unicast or
multicast transmission, and supports up to 4 audio channels.
A
unicast flow
is a point-to-point connection between 2 devices, supporting up to 4 channels per flow. To send 8 channels
of audio between two devices, 2 unicast flows are required.
A
multicast flow
is a one-to-many transmission, which supports sending up to 4 channels to multiple receiving devices
across the network. To send 8 channels from one device to all others on the network, 2 multicast flows are required.
Networking Best Practices
When connecting Shure devices to a network, use the following best practices:
Always use a "star" network topology by connecting each device directly to the switch or router.
Connect all Shure networked devices to the
same network
and set to the
same subnet
.
Allow all Shure software through the firewall on your computer.
Use only 1 DHCP server per network. Disable DHCP addressing on additional servers.
Power on the switch and DHCP server before powering on the Shure devices.
To expand the network, use multiple switches in a star topology.
All devices must be at the same firmware revision level.
Network Audio and Shure Control Data
MicroflexAdvance devices transport two types of data over the network: Shure Control and Network Audio.
Shure Control
The Shure Control carries data for the control software operation, firmware updates and 3rd party control systems (AMX,
Crestron).
Network Audio
This network carries both the Dante digital audio and the control data for Dante Controller. The network audio requires a
wired, gigabit Ethernet connection to operate.
Device IP Settings
Configure IP
Sets IP mode of the selected network interface:
Auto (DHCP):
For automatic assignment of IP addresses.
Manual (Static):
For Static IP addresses.
IP Settings
View and edit the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway for each network interface.
MAC Address
The network interface's unique identification.
