NetPA Ultra Series • Dante Controller
Receiver and Transmitter Names
In addition to renaming a device, individual transmitter and receiver channels can be
renamed in Dante Controller. Rename transmitter and receiver channels to reflect the
location of the device or the purpose of the transmitter or receiver. Ensure transmitter and
receiver channels are renamed before making audio connections between devices. Refer to
Renaming a Receiver or Transmitter
on page 78 for renaming procedure.
Dante Controller Naming Conventions
•
Device names follow Domain Name System (DNS) hostname rules. Legal characters are
A-Z
,
a-z
,
0-9
, and hyphen (
-
). Names must begin with a letter and cannot end with a
hyphen (
-
).
•
Dante Tx and Rx channel names (also known as labels) can be up to 31 characters in
length. Label names are not case-sensitive. For example, “
ANALOG OUT-1
” and “
analog
out-1
” are recognized as the same name. Unicode and non-roman characters are not
supported.
•
Tx and Rx channel labels can use any character except equals (
=

•
Tx and Rx channel labels must be unique on a device but do not need to be unique on
the network.
