Dante Network Setup
Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the AXI to a network via the RJ-45 AT (PoE) port (see
power the device with a PoE-enabled switch or a power injector such as the Extron XTP PI 100. Launch the Dante Controller
software.
Dante Controller auto-discovers all Dante devices on the network and advertises itself to allow Dante-enabled devices to
communicate with it. The default device name is the model name followed by the last six characters of the device MAC address.
Multiple devices on the same network can present difficulty in identifying inputs and outputs. To avoid confusion, rename each
device to a unique and meaningful identifier.
NOTE:
To simplify setup, connect only one Dante device to the network at a time, name the device, and then connect the
next device.
Dante Operation
Dante Receivers
A Dante network is comprised of transmitters that output digital audio onto the Dante network and receivers that receive digital
audio from the Dante network.
The AXI 02 AT analog outputs are listed as Dante receivers because they receive digital audio from the Dante network.
Additionally, audio received by the analog outputs is mirrored over the S/PDIF output. The AXI 02 AT does not transmit signal onto
the Dante network, and therefore does not have transmit channels.
NOTE:
Refer to the AXI 02 AT User Guide for information regarding naming receiver channels.
Network View Layout
Dante transmitters are listed horizontally across the top of the Network View window (see
receivers are listed vertically on the left side of the window (
from a Dante transmitter to a Dante receiver.
Routing Transmitters and Receivers
1.
Click the + box next to the device with the desired Dante
transmitters (AXI44AT-ConfRm1 in the example to the right).
The available transmitters display horizontally.
Click the + box next to the device with the desired Dante
2.
receivers (AXI02-Breakout1 in the example to the right). The
available receivers display vertically.
3.
Click the junction of the desired channels in the connection
matrix.
Example: AXI44-ConfRm1 Mic/Line In 1 to
AXI02A-Breakout1 Analog-S/PDIF Out 1.
A green check mark at the junction indicates the subscription is
made. A check mark is also placed next to the receiver channel
(if a green check mark does not appear, refer to the Dante
Controller section of the AXI 02 AT User Guide).
NOTE:
A transmitter can transmit signal to multiple
receivers, but a receiver can only receive signal from one
transmitter.
4.
Click the junction again to remove the subscription and
disconnect the transmitter from the receiver.
Additional transmitters and receivers can be connected or
disconnected using steps 1 through 4 above (for additional information on Dante Controller operation, see the Dante Controller
section of the AXI 02 AT User Guide at www.extron.com).
