changes to be made. The fifth menu page allows the
configuration of the Ethernet switch integrated circuit
to be displayed. A sixth menu page allows the Dante
interface to be rebooted (restarted).
Dante Device Name: The Dante device name is
shown on this menu page. This name is unique to
each device in a Dante deployment and is used as
part of the Dante subscription (channel routing) pro-
cess. The name can be changed from within the Dante
Controller application. The text shown on this menu
page is same as is shown in the upper-right corner of
each Model 5401A management webpage.
Dante Primary IP Configuration:
This menu page
allows the display and revision of the method that the
Model 5401A’s Dante interface will use to obtain the
Dante primary IP address and related parameters.
The choices are Automatic and Manual. This setting
has no impact on how the Model 5401A obtains IP
addresses for the Dante secondary interface and
management interface webpages.
An arrow icon will display in the upper-right corner of
this menu page. This indicates that the setting can
be changed. If the active method is not the desired
one, press the Enter pushbutton switch located on
the front panel. Use the left and right arrow buttons
to select the desired method. Then again press the
Enter button. The entry will then be stored. To cause
the Model 5401A to use a new setting requires that the
unit be rebooted (restarted). This can be performed
using another front-panel menu page, a selection
in one of the management webpages, or by power
cycling the unit.
Selecting the Automatic setting causes the Model
5401A’s Dante interface to use DHCP or, if DHCP is
not available, the IPv4 link-local protocol to establish
the IP address used by the Dante primary interface.
(An IP address that has the format of 169.254.x.x was
assigned using IPv4 link-local.) Even if the IP address
was established using link-local the DHCP protocol
will remain active. In this case, the Model 5401A’s
Dante interface will continue to check for the presence
of a DHCP server. If one becomes available then an
IP address will be requested and, when obtained, will
automatically replace the IP address that was previ-
ously established by link-local.
The Manual setting allows the desired Dante primary
IP address and related parameters to be manually
entered. This can be useful when a fixed or static ad-
dressing scheme has been established. In this way,
a designated IP address can be entered along with
the other necessary network parameters.
To cause the Model 5401A to use a revised Dante
primary IP address configuration method requires that
the unit’s Dante interface be rebooted (restarted). This
can be performed using the reboot Dante front-panel
menu page or by rebooting the entire Model 5401A.
This latter action can be accomplished using the re-
boot system menu page, using a function on one of
the management webpages, or by power cycling the
Model 5401A.
Note that to minimize the chance of losing access to
the Dante network, restoring the Model 5401A’s de-
fault configuration values will not change the stored
Dante primary IP address configuration method.
Dante Primary IP Address: This menu page shows
the IP address associated with the Dante primary
interface. (This address has nothing to do with the
IP addresses utilized by the Dante secondary and
management interface ports.) It can be revised only
when the manual mode has been selected for the
Dante primary IP configuration. When the IP address
configuration has been selected for Automatic this
field cannot be changed and a lock icon will show in
the upper-right corner of the display. If no Ethernet
connection has been made the text Link Down will
be displayed.
If the network configuration is selected in the Dante
Controller application for Switched or SMgmt
then the Dante primary IP address will be associated
with a network connection made to either the primary
or the secondary RJ45 jack on the Model 5401A’s
back panel. If the network configuration is selected
for Redundant or ReMgmt then the Dante
primary IP address will be associated with the RJ45
jack labeled PRI on the Model 5401A’s back panel.
Whenever the IP address configuration is selected
for Manual the manual Dante primary IP address
can be modified as desired. This will be indicated
by a circle with arrows icon that will show in the up-
per-right corner of the display. To start the process
of changing the Dante primary IP address press the
