Rx channels 3 and 4 on “Dest” are subscribed as follows:
n 3. Audio L@Source
n 4. Audio R@Source
Dante will perform the necessary audio routing to deliver the audio from the Tx channels to the Rx
channels.
Redundancy
Many Dante devices support redundant audio routing. These devices have two network interfaces, labeled
primary and secondary. Primary interfaces should be connected to one physical network. If redundancy is
being used, secondary interfaces should be connected to a second separate network. Secondary
interfaces cannot communicate with primary interfaces.
If the secondary network is connected to a device that supports redundancy, it is enabled automatically.
The same audio data is transmitted on both the primary and secondary networks simultaneously. In the
event of a failure on one network, audio will continue to flow via the other network.
Note: Dante redundancy requires that both the primary and secondary interfaces on any redundant
device are connected using the same link speed. For example, if the primary interface is connected to
a 1 Gbps switch port, the secondary interface must also be connected to a 1 Gbps switch port.
Similarly, if the primary interface is connected to a 100 Mbps switch port, the secondary interface
must also be connected to a 100 Mbps switch port.
