Device Name. Select Push to Dante to send the name to appear on the network.
Note: names appear in Dante Controller with "-d" attached.
QoS (Quality of Service) Settings
QoS settings assign priorities to specific data packets on the network, ensuring reliable
audio delivery on larger networks with heavy traffic. This feature is available on most
managed network switches. Although not required, assigning QoS settings is
recommended.
Note: Coordinate changes with the network administrator to avoid disrupting service.
To assign QoS values, open the switch interface and use the following table to assign
Dante-associated queue values.
Assign the highest possible value (shown as 4 in this example) for time-critical PTP
events
Use descending priority values for each remaining packet.

Event Log
The event log provides a detailed account of activity from the moment the device is
powered on. The log collects up to 1,000 activity entries and time-stamps them relative to
the last power cycle. The entries are stored in the internal memory, and are not cleared
when the device is power-cycled. The Export feature creates a CSV (comma separated
values) document to save and sort the log data.
Refer to the log file for details when troubleshooting or consulting with Shure Systems
Support.
