CONNECTING TO DANTE NETWORK WITH A SWITCH
If you have multiple Dante devices like a digital console and a digital snake, you will want to use a
Gigabit switch to connect Livemix to the Dante network. Most standard off the shelf Gigabit switches
will work with Dante, provided they meet the Quality of Service (QOS) requirements. For more
information, please reference the Dante FAQ on the Audinate website (.
1. Connect a CAT5 or CAT6 network cable to the Ethernet connector on the Dante option card.
2. Connect the opposite end to an open port on the Gigabit switch.
3. Connect other Dante enabled devices to the Gigabit switch in the same manner.
4. Set up the switch to work with Dante. Consult the Audinate website or the website of the device
you will use to transmit onto the Dante network for more information. In general, you will need
to disable the Energy Effiicient Ethernet (EEE) if your switch has that feature.
INPUT SOURCE SELECT
