Networking and Dante
Dante Transmit Flows
This device supports up to two transmit flows and two receive flows. A single flow consists of up to four channels, through
either a unicast or multicast transmission.
•
A unicast flow is a point-to-point connection between two devices, supporting up to four channels per flow.
•
A multicast flow is a one-to-many transmission, which supports sending up to four channels to multiple receiving devices
across the network.
Shure Device Applications
This device can connect with up to two Dante devices.
The Shure MXA310, ANI22, ANIUSB-MATRIX and ANI4IN support multicast transmission. This means that flows can transmit
to multiple devices -- as many as the network can support. If using unicast flows, each of these devices can connect with up to
two Dante receiver devices.
The Shure ANI4OUT connects with up to two Dante transmitter devices.
Pushing Device Names to the Dante Network
To send a device name to appear in Dante Controller, go to Settings>General and enter a Device Name. Select Push to Dante
to send the name to appear on the network.
Note: names appear in Dante Controller with "-d" attached.
Compatibility with Dante Domain Manager
This device is compatible with Dante Domain Manager software (DDM). DDM is network management software with user au
thentication, role-based security, and auditing features for Dante networks and Dante-enabled products.
Considerations for Shure devices controlled by DDM:
•
When you add Shure devices to a Dante domain, set the local controller access to Read Write. Otherwise, you won't be
able to access to Dante settings, perform a factory reset, or update device firmware.
•
If the device and DDM can't communicate over the network for any reason, you won't be able to control Dante settings,
perform a factory reset, or update device firmware. When the connection is reestablished, the device follows the policy set
for it in the Dante domain.
•
If Dante device lock is on, DDM is offline, or the configuration of the device is set to Prevent, some device settings are dis
abled. These include: Dante encryption, MXW association, AD4 Dante browse and Dante cue, and SCM820 linking.

Dante Domain Manager's documentation
QoS (Quality of Service) Settings
QoS settings assign priorities to specific data packets on the network, ensuring reliable audio delivery on larger networks with
heavy traffic. This feature is available on most managed network switches. Although not required, assigning QoS settings is
recommended.
Note: Coordinate changes with the network administrator to avoid disrupting service.
To assign QoS values, open the switch interface and use the following table to assign Dante-associated queue values.
•
Assign the highest possible value (shown as 4 in this example) for time-critical PTP events
•
Use descending priority values for each remaining packet.
