Compatibility with Dante Domain Manager
This device is compatible with Dante Domain Manager software (DDM). DDM is network management software with user au-
thentication, role-based security, and auditing features for Dante networks and Dante-enabled products.
Considerations for Shure devices controlled by DDM:
When you add Shure devices to a Dante domain, set the local controller access to
Read Write
. Otherwise, you won't be
able to access to Dante settings, perform a factory reset, or update device firmware.
If the device and DDM can't communicate over the network for any reason, you won't be able to control Dante settings,
perform a factory reset, or update device firmware. When the connection is reestablished, the device follows the policy set
for it in the Dante domain.
If Dante device lock is on, DDM is offline, or the configuration of the device is set to Prevent, some device settings are dis-
abled. These include: Dante encryption, MXW association, AD4 Dante browse and Dante cue, and SCM820 linking.

QoS (Quality of Service) Settings
QoS settings assign priorities to specific data packets on the network, ensuring reliable audio delivery on larger networks with
heavy traffic. This feature is available on most managed network switches. Although not required, assigning QoS settings is
recommended.
Note:
Coordinate changes with the network administrator to avoid disrupting service.
To assign QoS values, open the switch interface and use the following table to assign Dante-associated queue values.
Assign the highest possible value (shown as 4 in this example) for time-critical PTP events
Use descending priority values for each remaining packet.
