Dante Device Lock
The CL/QL console and R series now support Dante Device Lock. Its status is displayed on
CL/QL.
Dante Device Lock prevents changes to the Dante audio network settings of a Dante device
by another computer on the same network. Dante Device Lock settings are configured in
Dante Controller.
When Dante Device Lock is enabled on a CL/QL console, the following parameters cannot be
changed.
CONSOLE ID
SECONDARY PORT
•BIT
•LATENCY (ms)
PREFERRED MASTER
When Dante Device Lock is enabled on a CL/QL console, the DANTE DEVICE LOCKED
indicator lights up in red on the top left side of the DANTE SETUP window.
If you try to change any of these parameters, the following message will appear at the bottom
of the window.
If a device connected to the console is online, and Dante Device Lock is enabled for that
device, the LOCKED indicator will appear in each window as shown below.
If Dante Device Lock is enabled for the console, the following specifications will apply.
The master clock select buttons in the WORD CLOCK/SLOT window cannot be changed.
None of the parameters in the DANTE INPUT PATCH window can be changed. RECALL
and AUTO SETUP in the DANTE INPUT PATCH LIBRARY window will be disabled.
None of the parameters in the I/O DEVICE [OUTPUT PATCH] window can be changed.
If a file is being loaded from USB memory to a device that has Dante Device Lock enabled,
the settings will not be changed by the loaded file. A message is displayed on the screen.
If the consoles internal memory is initialized to the factory settings, Dante Device Lock will
remain enabled and cannot be changed. Locked parameters will also not be initialized.
Refer to the “Initializing the unit to factory default settings” on CL or QL seriess Reference
Manual.
If the console’s Dante settings are initialized to the factory settings, Dante Device Lock will
be disabled. Locked parameters will also be initialized. Refer to the “Initializing the console
settings and Dante audio network settings” on CL or QL seriess Reference Manual.
USB memory cannot be used to update the Dante module firmware. In addition, Dante
Firmware Update Manager will not update the firmware.
NOTE
If Dante Device Lock is enabled for a remote device, all offline settings (such as Dante Patch) for
the device will be disabled.
Even if Dante Device Lock is enabled for an I/O device, remote control that is unrelated to Dante
settings (such as HA control for R series) is possible.
