Model 5402

 

DANTE LEADER CLOCK WITH GNSS SYNCHRONIZATION

or management ports.) It will be utilized only when the 

manual mode has been selected for the Dante primary 

IP address configuration. When the IP address configura-

tion has been selected for Automatic this field cannot be 

changed and a lock icon will show in the upper-right corner 

of the display.
Whenever the IP address configuration is selected for 

Manual the subnet mask value can be modified as desired. 

This will be indicated by a circle with arrows icon that will 

show in the upper-right corner of the display. To start the 

process of changing the subnet mask value press the 

Enter pushbutton switch on the front panel. An icon with 

a wrench and screwdriver will display to indicate that an 

edit is in process. Use the up and down arrow pushbutton 

switches to select the desired subnet mask value. Once 

the desired value has been selected press the Enter but-

ton to store it.
To instruct the Model 5402 to use the new Dante subnet 

mask value requires that the unit’s Dante interface be re-

booted (restarted). This can be performed using the reboot 

Dante front-panel menu page. Rebooting the entire Model 

5402 can also be used to cause a new Dante primary sub-

net mask value to be used. This can be accomplished using 

the reboot system menu page, using a function on one of 

the management webpages, or by power cycling the Model 

5402. Restoring the Model 5402 to its default values will not 

change a stored Dante primary subnet mask value.

Ethernet Switch Configuration:

 This menu page shows 

the Model 5402’s network configuration as determined 

by a setting in the Dante Controller application. The term 

“switch” refers to an Ethernet switching and routing inte-

grated circuit that is part of the Model 5402’s hardware. 

How this integrated circuit is configured determines the 

how the Model 5402’s three Ethernet ports will function. 

The field will show Switched, Redundant, SMgmt, 

or ReMgmt. It will also display Error in the unlikely 

event that an error has occurred in the Brooklyn II module 

that supports the Model 5402’s Dante interface.

Reboot Dante:

 This menu page allows the Dante interface 

to be rebooted (restarted). This can be useful to force 

the Model 5402’s Dante interface to utilize revised Dante 

primary IP address and related parameter configuration 

changes. It can also be useful when troubleshooting a 

Dante network issue. An arrow icon shows in the upper-

right corner of the reboot Dante menu. To start the process 

of rebooting the Dante interface press the Enter pushbutton 

on the unit’s front panel. This will lead to a confirmation 

page being displayed. Use the left and right arrow pushbut-

ton switches to select the desired action. The choices are 

to cancel or to confirm. Press the Enter pushbutton switch 

to select the highlighted action.

Note that if the Dante interface is rebooted it may take 20 to 

60 seconds for the Model 5402’s operation to fully restore. 

And during this time period the management Ethernet port 

will also disconnect and then reconnect.

Row Five

Row five contains six menu pages. Five of the pages pro-

vide information about the specific Model 5402, including 

its serial number and versions of the firmware (embedded 

software) that are in use. It also includes a menu page that 

allows the system to be rebooted (restarted).

Product Name & Serial Number:

 This menu page shows 

the name of the product (Model 5402) and the hardware se-

rial number. The name and serial number, along with three 

MAC addresses associated with the Ethernet interfaces, 

are assigned at the factory and cannot be changed.

Main MCU Firmware Version: 

This menu page shows the 

version number of the Model 5402’s Main MCU firmware. 

This firmware can be updated using a USB flash drive. 

Update details are provided in the Technical Notes section 

of this guide.

Main FPGA Firmware Version:

 This menu page shows 

the version number of the Model 5402’s Main FPGA (field-

programmable-gate-array) firmware. This firmware can 

be updated using a USB flash drive. Update details are 

provided in the Technical Notes section of this guide.

Sync FPGA Firmware Version:

 This menu page shows 

the version number Model 5402’s internal synchronization 

board FPGA (field-programmable-gate-array) firmware. 

This firmware can be updated using a USB flash drive. 

Update details are provided in the Technical Notes section 

of this guide.

Dante Product Version: 

This menu page shows the 

product version number that’s stored in and being utilized 

by the Dante interface. The Model 5402’s Dante interface 

is implemented using a Brooklyn II module from Audinate. 

This version number is assigned by Studio Technologies as 

an identifier when a file is released that combines specific 

Model 5402 configuration information along with Audinate-

developed Dante operating firmware. The firmware for the 

Model 5402’s Dante interface can be updated by way of 

an Ethernet connection using the Dante Updater software 

application that’s provided as part of the Dante Controller 

software application.

Reboot System:

 This menu page allows the Model 5402 

to be rebooted (restarted). This can be useful to force the 

Model 5402 to utilize any revised management and Dante 

interface configuration changes. An arrow icon shows in 

the upper-right corner of the reboot Dante menu. To start 

the process of rebooting the Model 5402 press the Enter
