Network Interface Configuration Guidelines.
Primary only (non-redundant) Dante network.
If you only have a primary network, you can only connect one interface to the Dante network.
In the example, the laptop (running "Dante
Controller") and the two Dante devices (a
console and a Netbox) are connected to the
switch via their primary interfaces. This is a
typical non-redundant Dante network.
If the laptop has two network interfaces,
either can be used.
Primary and secondary Dante networks (redundant configuration), only one network interface
on the host computer.
If you have primary and secondary (redundant) networks, but only one network interface on
your computer, you should set your computer's network interface as the primary interface. This
ensures that you can control any non-redundant devices, and see full connection information for
any redundant devices that are connected to non-redundant devices.
If a problem does occur, and you lose connectivity on the primary network, you can connect
instead to the secondary network, to maintain control over your devices. This entails changing
the physical connection (i.e. physically connecting your computer to a switch on the secondary
network), and changing the interface selection in the Configure Dante Interfaces dialog.
In the example, the laptop (running "Dante
Controller") is connected to the switch via
one interface only, which is set as the
primary Dante interface.
The two Dante devices (the console and the
Netbox) are connected to the primary switch
via their primary interfaces, and to the
secondary switch via their secondary
interfaces. The two switches are not
connected to each other. This is a typical
redundant
network configuration for
computers with only one network interface.
NOTE: When connected to the secondary network, you will not have control over devices that
are only connected to the primary network (i.e. non-redundant devices, or "Dante Virtual
Soundcard"). You will see the device names in the Network view, and in subscription dialogs
(for example, the Device View > Receive and Transmit tabs) but you will not be able to view or
edit device configuration for those devices. Also, if the master clock is only connected to the
primary network, its name will not resolve in the 'Master Clocks' section of the main window tool
bar, it will be shown as a MAC address string.
Primary and secondary networks (redundant configuration), two network interfaces on the host
computer.
If you have primary and secondary networks, and two network interfaces available on the host
computer, you should connect one interface to each network. This means that you will always
have full control of all redundant devices, even if the primary network fails.
