DANTE LEADER CLOCK WITH GNSS SYNCHRONIZATION

Menu Text and Links

The following provides details on some of the text and links 

that are presented on the Model 5402’s webpages.

Device Name:

 In the upper-right corner of each Model 

5402 webpage is the Dante device name. This name is 

unique to each device in a Dante deployment and is used 

as part of the Dante subscription (channel routing) process. 

The name can be changed from within the Dante Controller 

application.

Identify Device Link:

 In the upper-right corner of each 

webpage, directly below the device name, is a link called 

Identify Device. Clicking on it will cause the Dante identify 

action to commence on the specific Model 5402. The action 

will consist of the front-panel display’s green backlight flash-

ing five times. This command will help confirm that the web 

server on the desired Model 5402 is being accessed.

Company Name Link:

 On the bottom of each webpage 

is a link with the title Studio Technologies, Inc. Clicking on 

this link will cause the browser to open the Home webpage 

of the Studio Technologies website.

Log Out Link:

 In the upper-right corner of most of the 

Configuration menu webpages is a link called Log Out. It 

will cause the Model 5402’s web server to end the session, 

logging out the user and returning to the Home menu. To 

again access the configuration webpages requires that the 

user click on the Login tab and provide a valid user name 

and password.

Operation

Now that the Model 5402 is installed and configured it’s 

ready for use. The unit is designed for continuous, unat-

tended operation. However, there are a number of nuances 

in the unit’s operation. This may make it worthwhile for 

personnel to spend some time reviewing this section.
Upon application of AC mains or DC power, the Model 5402 

will go through a power-up sequence. The nine bi-color 

LEDs on the Model 5402’s front panel will light green, then 

light red in a confirmation sequence. The unit’s graphics 

display will show the Studio Technologies logo graphics 

image, followed by a menu page that shows the product 

name (Model 5402) and the Dante name. Then the version 

number of the Main MCU firmware will display. After a few 

seconds the screen saver mode, detailed later in this sec-

tion, will begin operation.
Upon power being applied the green LED adjacent to the 

USB receptacle on the back panel will flash once to indicate 

that its associated circuitry is performing correctly. Also, 

upon power being applied to the Model 5402 the LEDs on 

the back panel associated with the unit’s three Ethernet 

RJ45 jacks will briefly flash as a functional test.

After the Model 5402 has completed its power-up se-

quences the unit will begin operation. The nine front-panel 

LEDs will reflect the real-time status of the unit’s major 

functions. The front-panel display will allow the viewing 

of over 25 menu pages showing status and configuration 

conditions. In addition, using the front-panel pushbutton 

switches some of the unit’s configuration settings can be 

revised as required.
The following paragraphs will detail the operation of the 

front-panel LEDs.

Power LEDs

Two LEDs indicate the presence of incoming AC mains 

and nominal 12 volts DC power. They are labeled AC and 

DC and can light green or red. When a source of AC mains 

power is connected the AC LED will light green. (This is 

actually in response to 12 volts DC that is being gener-

ated by the internally located AC mains input/12 volts DC 

output power supply.) The LED labeled DC will light green 

whenever a connected DC source exceeds approximately 

10 volts. The DC LED will light red when the DC input is 

between approximately 9 and 10 volts, indicating a low-volt-

age condition. Once the DC input is less than approximately 

9 volts the DC LED will not light and the Model 5402 will 

no longer operate from the DC source.

Network LEDs

Three LEDs provide status indications related to the Model 

5402’s three Ethernet network interfaces. Two of the LEDs 

are associated with the Model 5402’s Dante primary and 

Dante secondary Ethernet ports. They are labeled PRI 

and SEC. The third LED, labeled MGMT, is associated 

with the unit’s management Ethernet port. The way in 

which the three Ethernet interfaces and their associated 

status LEDs function depend on the network configuration 

as selected using the Dante Controller application. The 

choices are Switched, Redundant, SMgmt, and 

ReMgmt.

Switched Network Operation

PRI LED: The PRI LED will light red when no Ethernet 

connection is present on the Dante primary or Dante 

secondary Ethernet ports. It will light green whenever a 

Gigabit Ethernet connection is present on either the Dante 

primary or the Dante secondary Ethernet port and a link 

has been established. It will light orange whenever a 100 

Mb/s Ethernet connection is present on either the Dante 

primary or the Dante secondary Ethernet port and a link 

has been established.
SEC LED: The SEC LED will not light.
MGMT LED: When no Ethernet connection is present on 

the management Ethernet port the MGMT LED will not light.
