4. Connect your Secondary Ethernet cables from each
device that supports redundancy to the Gigabit
ports of the Secondary network network switch.
You may need to reboot the computers if they have active
previous IP network configurations.
All devices will automatically be assigned IP network
configurations.
NOTE
Some firmware versions of the Dante Accelerator do not
support redundant networks. Check whether your Dante
Accelerator firmware version supports redundant network
from the following website:

Unsupported Dante Network
Configurations
Straight-through connection to another Dante-
enabled device
Because the Dante Accelerator is a dedicated audio interface,
Dante Controller must connect to the network via the standard
network adapter on the computer.
Because of this, do not make a ‘straight-through’ connection
from the Dante Accelerator to another Dante-enabled device.
Connecting Primary and Secondary redundant
networks to the same network switch
When using Dante redundancy with any Dante-enabled
device, two separate networks must be used.
You CANNOT connect any secondary network connections to
a network switch used for the primary network, or any primary
network connections to a network switch used for the
secondary network.
Please refer to the section "Connection via a Redundant
Network" on page 6 for information about the correct
configuration to use.
