Dante Configuration DIP Switches
Setting up a Dante network requires the use of the Dante Controller software available from the Audinate
website. Once configured, the D800-Dante’s onboard set of four DIP switch blocks is used to configure the
A-Net-specific settings. This document refers to the DIP switch blocks with numbers 1-4 as shown below.

Use the DIP switch Stereo
Link settings
Ignore the DIP switch Stereo
Link settings; all channels sent
to A-Net are mono
10
Use Dante as the input
source for the network
Use the A-Net In port as the
input source for the network
Any combination of the Stereo Link DIP switches may be used; in the up position, stereo links are
transmitted over A-Net to all Personal Mixers in the network. Set DIP Switch 9 in this block to the up
position to override the Stereo Link settings made with the hardware switches; this makes all channels
sent to the A-Net devices mono. Stereo link changes can be made at any time; all Personal Mixers will
update automatically to reflect the changes.
Stereo Links settings made with the DIP switches in the Dante interface are applied only to the Dante
audio stream. When using the A-Net In port instead of the Dante input, Stereo Links must come from an
A-Net input device (analog or console card).
P
Note: DIP switch #10 in Switch Block 1 will enable or disable the Dante input and determine which
port the D800 is getting its audio and clocking from. The D800-Dante can either use Dante
audio (from the Dante Primary or Secondary port), or A-Net Audio (from the A-Net IN port),
but not both simultaneously.
