Network View Toolbar

Below the menu bar there is a toolbar containing five buttons:

Reload Device Information Updates the current view with the latest device information from

the network. This is useful when a recent change to the network

has not yet propagated automatically through to Dante Controller

(for example, a new device has been added to the network).

Load Preset Loads a previously saved audio routing configuration. See Presets

for more information.

Save Preset Saves the current audio routing configuration. See Presets for more

information.

Choose a Dante Interface Opens the Configure Dante Interfaces dialog. See Configuring

Dante Controller for more information.

Clock Health Monitoring Activates the Clock Health Monitoring function. See Clock

Synchronization for more information.

To the right of the toolbar, Dante Controller displays the current master clock (or clocks, in the case of

redundant networks) and an indication of the current Dante multicast audio bandwidth on the network. Note

that there may also be traffic from other sources on the network.

Network View Tabs

There are four sub-views within the Network View that can be selected by clicking on the tabs below the

menu bar and toolbar. These are as follows:
