What are Dante connections?
(Daisy-chain connection and Star connection)
A Dante network can be connected in two ways.
Set the DIP switches of the devices as appropriate for the type of connection.
❑ Daisy-chain connection
In a daisy-chain connection, each device is connected to the next device, in a chain. This method
makes it simple to construct a network, and does not require a network switch. Use this method for
simple systems in which a relatively small number of units are to be connected.
As the number of connected units increases, you will need to increase the latency. Also, if a problem
such as a broken cable occurs, the network will be disconnected at that point, and communication
with units beyond that point will be impossible.
❑ Star connection
In a star connection, devices are connected with a network switch at their center. By using a network
switch that supports gigabit Ethernet, you can create even large-scale networks that require high
bandwidth. We recommend that you use a network switch that supports functionality for
controlling and monitoring the network (e.g., QoS, which gives priority to clock synchronization
and audio transmission for specified data routings).
With this type of connection, it is typical to create a redundant network so that audio will continue
being conveyed even if a problem occurs with the network.
