Note: Certain Ethernet switches support IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol), a protocol

that provides the ability to 'prune' multicast traffic, so that it travels only to those end destinations that

require that traffic. If this is the case, and IGMP is correctly configured on all the Ethernet switches,

then multicast audio will not flood throughout the network, but will instead be sent only over the links

required to deliver it to subscribed devices.

AES67 Flow

The AES67 Flow option is only available for AES67-enabled devices.

When AES67 Flow is checked, the selected channels will be added to an AES67 multicast flow. Only

AES67-enabled devices can receive AES67 flows. Dante devices cannot subscribe to AES67 flows from

other Dante devices.

AES67 flows appear in blue at the far right of the Routing tab of the Network View, and at the bottom of the

Available Channels list in the Device View > Receive tab. AES67 flows are identified by their transmit

multicast IP addresses, rather than device names.

For AES67-enabled Dante devices, each device transmit channel can simultaneously support an AES67

multicast flow and a standard Dante multicast flow.
