Dante Primary Port
Use the
P
rImAry
port on the D400-Dante as the default connection to a Dante network. The Dante RJ45
jacks include two LEDS. The yellow LED indicates an active 1GB network connection; the green LED
indicates network activity.
The D400-Dante can have a maximum of 32 Dante sources assigned to it. Routing channels requires
the Dante Controller application, available from Audinate. The D400-Dante will retain its Dante channel
assignments across power cycles.
For additional Dante system setup information see page 23.
Dante Secondary Port
On the D400-Dante, the Secondary port can be configured to be a redundant or daisy chain connection
to the Dante network. This function is set up from within the Dante Controller application on a per-device
basis. The default setting is Switched (daisy chain); the Redundant setting requires a Dante network set up
with multiple managed 1GB switches. Configuring port settings requires the Dante Controller software
available from the Audinate website.
A-Net Ports 1 to 8
The eight A-Net ports (labeled 1-8) on the front panel of the D400 and D400-Dante A-Net Distributors
provide a copy of the digital data connected to the unit’s A-Net or Dante input to the devices connected
to each port. Each A-Net (1-8) port also supplies DC power that can be used to power a Personal Mixer
product over the Cat-5 cable, eliminating the need for a local power supply.

:
The DC power supply in the D400 and/or D400-Dante can power only one Personal Mixer per
Cat-5 cable per A-Net port.
Personal Mixing systems using more than 16 inputs always pass all network slots to all A-Net ports on
the D400 and D400-Dante regardless of the type of Personal Mixer connected to the port. Legacy A-16II
Personal Mixers will use network slots 1-16 only and will ignore slots 17 and above.
When using the standard D400 with up to four input devices (maximum 64 network slots), the A320
Personal Mixer uses the first 32 channels of the network and will ignore network channels 33-64. Each
A360 Personal Mixer in a system can use any active network slot from 1-64; its mix channel buttons can
be mapped as needed using the free A360 Channel Manager software available from the Aviom website
(www.Aviom.com).
When a D400-Dante is used, the A320 Personal Mixer uses the first 32 channels of the network in sequential
order, while the A360 can use any active network slot from 1-32 in any order by creating custom channel
configurations using the A360 Channel Manager software.
