Initial Setup
It is best practice to configure all units to operate in the
Switched mode to simplify initial settings.
Connect each BOB 88 unit to a computer directly or
via a network
one at a time. Launch Dante controller
and then double click on the name of the unit to open
the
Device View dialog box. Click on the Network
Config tab and select the Switched mode.
Set unit to
Switched mode
for initial setup
In the switched mode, either the Primary or Secondary
Dante port can be used interchangeably since each
port includes and Ethernet switch.
NOTE: Connect only one or the other. If both
ports are connected to the same network in the
switched mode, you will not be able to control
them with Dante Controller software.
Changing from Switched to Redundant Modes
When the units are changed from the Switched mode
to the Redundant mode (and vice versa), they must be
rebooted to enable and store the setting. It is generally
best to make this change when connected individually
to each unit. After the setting is changed, disconnect
the power and then reconnect it to reboot the unit.
