Redundant and Split Networks
The Primary and Secondary ports require dedicated network switches in
Redundant Audio and Split modes.
Isolated Networks for Each Port in
Redundancy and Split Modes
Redundant Network Recommendations
For the most reliable Redundant network, it is recommended to set up both
networks
without
a DHCP server. Connect each unit to a network switch
without DHCP or to a router with DHCP disabled.
If it is not possible to disable the DHCP server, configure the mixer to a
static IP address from the GUI (
GUI
>
Preferences tab
>
IP Mode
>
Manual
).
Note:
Use caution when operating a Link Group in a Redundant
network. If a Link Group goes down, there will be temporary audio loss
on both ports
while the group reconfigures.
Configuring a 100 Mbps Dante network
Gigabit equipment is strongly recommended for Dante network. If this is not
possible, configure the 100 Mbps network with the following guidelines:
• Ensure the router has QoS enabled
• Latency settings are set to at least 1 ms
Caution:
Do not form Link groups on a 100Mbps network, as this will
cause increased traffic and will exceed the network bandwidth.
Setting Latency
Latency is the amount of time for a signal to travel across the system to
the outputs of a device. To account for variances in latency time between
devices and channels, Dante has a predetermined selection of latency
settings. When the same setting is selected, it ensures that all Dante
devices on the network are in sync.
The latency setting for Dante devices should be set according to the number
of switches in the network. The SCM820 network card has an internal switch
chip and counts as a switch. For example, one SCM820 connected to an
external switch equals two switches.
Go to

>
Preferences Tab
to change the setting.

Dante Software by Audinate
Audinate software provides additional function and control of the Dante digital audio network. Visit Audinate's website at www.audinate.com for software
installation instructions, additional digital audio networking capabilities and troubleshooting help.
Dante Virtual Soundcard
Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) software turns a computer into a Dante-
enabled device, allowing digital audio traffic to be transmitted and received
using the standard Ethernet port.
On Windows, DVS can select Steinberg’s ASIO audio interface or Windows
Driver Model (WDM). On Mac OSX, the DVS uses the standard Core Audio
interface.
Dante Controller
Dante Controller (DC) is a free software program by Audinate that is used to
configure and manage a network of Dante devices. Use it to route channels
between Dante-enabled devices and to monitor the status of the device,
clock, and network.
For proper functionality with the SCM820, use Dante Controller version
3.4.0.0 or higher. Go to Audinate's website for download and installation
instructions.
