How to Isolate a Device from the Rest of the Dante Network
There are 3 ways to isolate a device from the rest of the network.
Option 1: Remove all other Dante devices from the Dante network
You can isolate a device by physically disconnecting all other Dante devices from the network switch, or
by completely powering down all other devices, leaving on the network only the locked device and the
computer running Dante Controller.
Note: Dante Virtual Soundcard and Dante Via are considered to be Dante devices – all running
instances of those applications must be fully stopped, even if they are on the same computer on
which you are running Dante Controller.
