◦ WinPcap and Dante Discovery / Dante Control and Monitoring functions
will not be uninstalled. If you want to uninstall these functions as well,
make sure that other applications are not using them, and then uninstall
them individually using [Uninstall] or [Uninstall or change].
3. Restart the computer.
2.3. Installing Dante Controller
Dante Controller must also be installed to launch Dante Controller from Yamaha LAN Monitor. For
details on installing Dante Controller, refer to the “Dante Controller User Guide.”
You can download Dante Controller and the Dante Controller User Guide from the downloads page of
the website below.

NOTE
Yamaha LAN Monitor uses the same network adapter as the one selected in Dante
Controller to detect Dante-enabled devices. Therefore, in the environment where
Dante Controller is installed, select the network adapter in Dante Controller
appropriately and then start Yamaha LAN Monitor. When selecting a network adapter
with Dante Controller, it is necessary to check “Use Shared Dante Interface”. If you
change the network adapter selection in Yamaha LAN Monitor, the network adapter
selection status of other applications (such as Dante Controller) that use the Dante
shared interface will also be changed.
2.4. When using Yamaha LAN Monitor as a user other than the
user who executed the installer
In order to use Yamaha LAN Monitor, the user must belong a group that can capture packets.
The user who executed the installer will automatically be given group (lan_monitor_bpf) privileges
allowing for capturing packets. However, for other users, it is necessary to perform the following
operations and join the group called lan_monitor_bpf.
1. Click the key at the bottom of the screen in [System Preferences] → [Users and Groups], and
enter the administrator user name and password.
2. From the list of groups, click lan_monitor_bpf and check (allow) the users who want to use LAN
Monitor as a membership.
2.5. When using a computer with WireShark installed
When using WireShark and Yamaha LAN Monitor at the same time, you need to enable membership for
users whom you want to be able to use to both the access_bpf and lan_monitor_bpf groups.
