Model 5401A
DANTE LEADER CLOCK
Sync FPGA Firmware: This display-only field shows
the version number and associated date of the Model
5401A’s synchronization board FPGA (field-program-
mable-gate-array) firmware. This firmware can be
field-updated using a USB flash drive. Update details
are provided in the Technical Notes section of this
guide.
Dante Product: This display-only field shows the
product version number and associated date that’s
stored in and being utilized by the Dante interface.
(The Dante interface is implemented using a Brooklyn
II module from Audinate.) This version number is as-
signed by Studio Technologies as an identifier when
a file is released that combines specific Model 5401A
configuration information along with Dante operating
firmware. The firmware for the Model 5401A’s Dante
interface can be updated by way of an Ethernet con-
nection using the Dante Updater software applica-
tion that’s provided as part of the Dante Controller
software application.
Dante Firmware: This is a display-only field that
shows the version number of the firmware associated
with the Dante interface (Brooklyn II module) that the
Model 5401A utilizes for Dante interconnectivity. No
date is associated with this file. The displayed ver-
sion number is assigned by Audinate and can’t be
changed by Studio Technologies. It is incorporated
into the Dante Product (.dnt) file that is released by
Studio Technologies’ specifically for the Model 5401A.
As noted previously, this firmware, part of the Dante
product firmware, can be updated by way of an Eth-
ernet connection using the Dante Updater software
application.
Restore Default Settings: The Restore Default
Settings function allows many of the Model 5401A’s
default configuration settings to be restored. However,
it will not impact the network configuration or user
name and password settings. For the defaults to be
restored the associated check box must be enabled
prior to pressing the Submit button. Be careful when
using this function as invoking it after enabling the
check box will immediately cause the defaults to be
restored. Refer to Appendix E for a list of the default
values.
System Reboot: The Reboot function is located on
the bottom of the System menu webpage. It allows the
Model 5401A to be rebooted (restarted) without having
to perform a power cycle. (The function can be con-
sidered to invoke a “cold boot.”) For a system reboot
to take place the check box must be enabled prior to
pressing the Reboot button. During normal opera-
tion a system reboot will never be required. But after
changes are made to any of the unit’s management
interface network configuration a reboot is required. A
system reboot will cause the three Ethernet interfaces
to go through a reconnection process, necessary
should any of the management network parameters
be revised. (These changes can be made by way of
the Network menu choices or using the front-panel
display and buttons.)
