A physical network is required to share Dante audio channels between Dante-enabled
devices like the XMP 240 C AT. Other Dante-enabled devices must be on the same physical
network in order to communicate via Dante. A daisy chain topology can be used to connect
multiple devices.
Daisy Chain topology has XMP 240 C AT units connected in succession.

NOTE: The daisy chain topology only functions in switched mode. It is not possible to
use it in redundant mode.
In redundant mode, the 2-port AT switch becomes two separate primary and secondary
ports that duplicate audio traffic. Port 1 is marked
2 3 4
for secondary (see figure 131). Primary and secondary switches/ports cannot be
(SEC)
connected together anywhere in the audio network. Redundant configuration can be
enabled using Dante Controller or DSP Configurator.
