3 – Device Configuration
There are two parts of the device that require software to setup. First the audio routing, and second the configurable
features of the device itself.
The audio routing should be carried out using any application that supports Dante audio routing. This could be from a
3rd party manufacturer or be Audinate’s own Dante Controller. Dante Controller can be obtained from the Audinate
website (www.Audinate.com). Instructions on how to use this software and about setting up routes on a Dante network
can also be found on Audinate’s website.
*Note: When using Dante controller, the unDIO2x2 will be shown using a default device name of unDIO2x2######
where ‘######’ is the last six characters of the devices MAC address.
Configuration of the unDIO2x2 specific features is carried out using the Attero Tech unIFY Control Panel application.
This application is available from the Attero Tech website (www.atterotech.com). It should be used to examine and
modify the device specific features such as mic/line gain settings, phantom power, and output boost options.
3.1 – IP Address Setup
******************************************************* IMPORTANT ****************************************************
Failure to correctly configure IP addresses will not allow an unDIO2x2 device to correctly authenticate in the unIFY
Control Panel software and while it will show up in Dante Controller, the input and output channels won’t be visible and
routing of audio to and from the unDIO2x2 will not be possible.
****************************************************************************************************************************
In order to configure an unDIO2x2 both to set up its internal parameters and also setup audio routing, the PC will need
to be able to communicate with it over the network. While all Dante devices will be discovered regardless of the IP
address setup on the PC, communication can only occur if the PC and the device have compatible IP addresses.
By default, unDIO2x2 is set to get a dynamic IP address. As with all Dante devices, if the unDIO2x2 device does not
find a DHCP server to retrieve an IP address from, it will give itself an automatic private IP address (APIPA) instead. An
APIPA is always in the range 169.254.x.y.
To ensure communication, the PC can either be set to get a dynamic IP address, or be given a static IP address in the
range 169.254.x.y. The PC may require a restart for the changes to take affect.
Further information on IP setup for an audio system using Dante can be found in the FAQ’s on the Audinate website
(https://www.audinate.com/resources/faqs).
3.2 – Software Installation
After downloading the application, run the .exe and the first screen to appear will be the license agreement and options
screen.
