DANTE ACCELERATOR Operation Manual 5
Network Configuration
The Dante Accelerator is a dedicated Dante audio interface,
and cannot be used by the Dante Controller as a port for
network control (configuring Dante devices, and routing
audio).
Network control must be performed via the standard network
adapter on the computer on which Dante Controller is
installed.
If this is the same computer in which the Dante Accelerator is
installed, the computer must be connected to the Dante
network via two Ethernet cables and a network switch:
Basic network configuration
If your network switch has a mix of Gigabit and 100Mbps
ports, make you connect all Dante Accelerator, and if possible
all devices, to the Gigabit ports.
1. Make sure all computers are set to automatically
configure their IP address.
2. Power on the network switch.
3. Connect your Ethernet cables from each device to
the Gigabit ports of the 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.
