The AudioLAN Module can also exchange audio with other AES67 compliant networks like Dante®, QLAN®, AXIA® LIVEWIRE®. With the uTrack24 AudioLAN Module, you can patch up to 24 channels of your uTrack24’s inputs and outputs in and out of Ravenna/AES67 equipped sound consoles, stage boxes, installed sound systems and more. Record stage audio from the console and send multiple backing tracks to the networked system using the AudioLAN Module.
AudioLAN Module included, electromagnetic interference can cause malfunctioning and can corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to minimize the risk of damage. 3. LIMITED WARRANTY For the applicable warranty terms and conditions and additional information on Cymatic Audio’s Limited Warranty, please see complete details online at www.cymaticaudio.com/warranty...

Align the AudioLAN Module with the module guides, then push it all the way into the internal connector socket. Tighten the 5 screws again. Do not use too much force, in order to prevent the screws from breaking. Power up the uTrack24. When the AudioLAN Module is recognized, a new menu option “Inputs” is present in the uTrack24 settings.
5. AUDIOLAN CARD CONFIGURATION The AudioLAN Module configuration parameters are available through a webpage user interface. Access to the webpage is possible through a bonjour enabled application. For example, MTDiscovery (available from www.merging.com) can be used to see the list of bonjour devices in the network. Launch the application making sure that your PC is also in the same network as the AudioLan Module.
5.2. WebPage User Interface The list at the top of the page shows the Ravenna devices in the network, as they’re listed through Bonjour. Devices from Cymatic and other Ravenna manufacturers are shown in this list. The lower part of the screen shows the AudioLAN Module configuration page.

Network Configuration Device Name: It is possible to change the device name (Host name) in this field IP Configuration DHCP: The IP configuration is obtained from a DHCP server Static: The user can provide the IP configuration manually. Audio Configuration: Sampling Rate: Displays the sampling rate at which the AudioLAN Module is set to.
Stream Provider The Steam provider tab, lists the available streams in the AudioLAN Module to feed into the network. In this tab the user can change the names, multicast address and port of the streams. There is also the option to activate or de-activate the streams.
Page 11
Stream consumer The Steam consumer tab allows to setup AudioLAN Module recording channels to be fed with AES67 streams available on the network. The number of recording channels available depends on the sample rate that the device is working on. At 48Khz, 24 recording channels are available and at 96 kHz, 8 channels are available. Every active recording channel of the AudioLAN Module has a box with channel name, source stream and channel number.

Advanced tab Information about the current PTP state (master or slave), the Grandmaster ID and the current offset are shown in the PTP area. It is possible to change the PTP Domain if the network has multiple PTP Domains. The AudioLAN Module can be chosen to be the preferred master if required.
6. CONNECTING AudioLAN Module TO DANTE DEVICES AudioLAN Module can be connected to Dante devices which support AES67 protocol to exchange audio with each other. Please make sure that you have the latest AudioLAN Module firmware loaded as well as a Dante firmware that supports the AES67 protocol.
Go to the “AES67 Config” tab and enable the AES67 mode. Then reboot the device. 6.2. Setting up audio streams from Dante device An AES67 audio stream in the Dante device is called an ‘AES67 Flow’. Open the device you wish to use as a source From the Device menu select Create multicast flow AudioLAN Module Apr 2017...

6.3. Receiving Dante streams in AudioLAN Module . On the “Advanced” tab make sure that AudioLAN Module Open your browser and access the configuration webpage of the the “SAP browsing enabled” is checked: On the Stream consumer tab for any recording channel, a list of sources should be available under the “Source stream” drop down list.
6.4. Sending streams from AudioLAN Module for Dante Device On the “Stream provider” tab, uncheck the “Use automatic configuration” Make sure that the multicast address of each stream matches the multicast address prefix given in the Dante Controller (239.67.xxx.xxx as shown in section 6.2). The addresses have to be unique within the network. As described in section 6.3, ensure that SAP browsing is enabled in the advanced tab.
