Restoring factory default settings
Pressing the RESET (
q
) button while the unit is powered and
operating will reset network address settings and all other unit
settings to their factory defaults.
Resetting Dante settings
Press and hold the RESET (
q
) button for 5 seconds.
The STATUS indicators will blink 2 times and the network
address and other settings for Dante will be restored to their
default values.
Resetting all settings made in the unit
Press and hold the RESET (
q
) button for 10 seconds.
The STATUS indicators will blink 3 times and all settings made in
the unit will be restored to their default values.
Launching the unit in safe mode
Connect a power supply while pressing the RESET (
q
) button.
This will start the unit in safe mode. The STATUS, SAMPLE RATE,
PRIMARY and SECONDARY indicators will blink twice per second.
Using as a Sonicview extension
By connecting this unit to the LAN of a Dante port in a TASCAM
Sonicview Series unit, this unit can be controlled from that
Sonicview. Moreover, mounting this unit on the TASCAM
Sonicview Series unit enables its analog inputs to be operated in
the same way as the analog inputs of the Sonicview.
Use the following procedures to mount it.
NOTE
i
These procedures assume that the Dante Control network
settings of this unit and the TASCAM Sonicview Series unit
are set to their defaults (Addressing is AUTO).
i
A Sonicview can mount a maximum of 4 units.
1.
Connect mics, speakers and other equipment with analog
connectors.
2.
Connect the Dante ports of this unit and the Sonicview
Series unit with a LAN cable.
If the Dante setting for both devices is redundant mode,
connect the corresponding PRIMARY and SECONDARY
connectors of both units together.
See “Switched (daisy chain) connection” on page 26 and
“Redundant connection” on page 27 for connection
instructions.
3.
Turn off the power of equipment connected to this unit.
4.
Make the Dante routing setting.
By mounting this unit from the Sonicview unit, the Dante
routing between them will be set automatically. Moreover,
sampling rate, reference level, Dante latency and other
settings will automatically be set to suitable values.
For details, see the Reference Manual of the Sonicview
Series unit.
5.
Make the Sonicview Series unit input and output routing
settings.
For details, see “5 – Routing” in the Reference Manual of the
Sonicview Series unit.
Notes about Dante
Dante is a transmission protocol developed by Audinate.
Using networks based on gigabit Ethernet standards, it enables
multichannel (512 IN/512 OUT) transmission and high precision,
for example.
Check the Audinate website for details about Dante.

Connecting to a Dante network
In order to set up and use this card, you must also set up the
Ethernet network that it is connected to, a computer that runs
Dante Controller and other devices that support Dante.
LAN cables used for connections
Use STP cables that are category 5e or higher.
Both crossover and straight cables can be used.
ATTENTION
This unit is not compatible with 100Mbps Ethernet switching
hubs. Always use switching hubs that support Gigabit
Ethernet.
NOTE
i
When the Dante Network Addressing setting is AUTO (DHCP),
set the computer to set the IP address automatically.
i
When the Dante Network Addressing setting is STATIC, set
the computer to match the Dante and network address.
Switched (daisy chain) connection
Dante devices can be daisy-chained when there are few
connected devices and when not using a switching hub.
Connect them as shown below.

Mixer
NOTE
i
When using a switched (daisy chain) connection, connect to
either the PRIMARY or SECONDARY connector.
i
If the number of connected devices increases, raising the
latency setting will be necessary.
