Network View Tabs
Routing View
When Dante Controller is started, it always displays the Routing Tab within the Network View. In this view
the network is shown in the form of a grid. Devices with Tx channels are displayed along the top row of the
grid, and those with Rx channels are displayed along the left-hand column of the grid. Initially a collapsed
view is presented; individual channels cannot be seen.
Note: If a device name is shown in red, it means Dante Controller has automatically detected an
error condition. Double-click the device name to see more information. Refer to Automatic
Notification of Device Errors for further explanation.
Note: If a device has Tx and Rx channels, it is shown both along the top row of the grid and also
along the left-hand edge.
