Management features to provide information about port speed, error counters, and bandwidth used
Ability to switch off Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). EEE (also known as "Green Ethernet") may cause audio dropouts and
problems with clock synchronization.
Diffserv (DSCP) Quality of Service (QoS) with strict priority and 4 queues
Ethernet cables should be:
Cat5e or better
Shielded
For more information, see our FAQ about switches to avoid.
Device IP Configuration
This Shure device uses 2 IP addresses: one for Shure control, and one for Dante audio and control.
Shure control
Carries data for Shure control software, firmware updates, and third-party control systems (such as AMX or Crestron)
Dante audio and control
Carries Dante digital audio and control data for Dante Controller
Requires a wired, gigabit Ethernet connection to operate

Setting Latency
Latency is the amount of time for a signal to travel across the system to the outputs of a device. To account for variances in la­
tency time between devices and channels, Dante has a predetermined selection of latency settings. When the same setting is
selected, it ensures that all Dante devices on the network are in sync.
These latency values should be used as a starting point. To determine the exact latency to use for your setup, deploy the set­
up, send Dante audio between your devices, and measure the actual latency in your system using Audinate's Dante Controller
software. Then round up to the nearest latency setting available, and use that one.
Use Audinate's Dante Controller software to change latency settings.
Latency Recommendations
Latency Setting Maximum Number of Switches
0.25 ms 3
0.5 ms (default) 5
1 ms 10
2 ms 10+
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
