NetPA Ultra Series • Dante Controller
Renaming a Receiver or Transmitter
In addition to renaming devices, individual receiver and transmitter channels can be
renamed in Dante Controller. To better organize the various receivers and transmitters,
it is recommended each receiver and each transmitter be named using a description of
the device they belong to, the location of the device, or the purpose of the receiver or
transmitter.
To view the receiver or transmitter channels in Dante Controller, click the
+
sign next to the
receiver or transmitter device name to expand it. The
+
sign becomes a
–
sign when the
device is expanded (see figure 115,
1
).

transmitter channels to better indicate the source at the transmitters or
receivers.
