Network Modes
The Dante network interface can be configured to operate in one of three modes: Switched, Redundant Audio or Split. This setting determines the types of
data that are transported from the Primary and Secondary ports.
Data Transport in each Mode
The following table displays the configuration of the Dante network ports in each Network Mode. Note: Always connect the Primary port to the network that is
used for Shure Control.

Caution: Disconnect the equipment from the network prior to changing the network mode. This will avoid a network loop that will make the network unstable.
Selecting the Network Mode
1. Disconnect the mixer from the network.
2. Connect the Primary port of the mixer directly to a computer.
3. Go to the Network panel in the GUI:
4. Select the Configuration mode. The mixer will reboot once the selection is confirmed.
5. Repeat for each mixer.
Warning: Do not reconnect mixers to the network until the network configuration is the same for all units.
Network Configurations in Switched Mode (default)
Star Configuration (Recommended)
Connect multiple mixers to a router in a star
configuration for the most reliable setup.
Daisy-Chain (up to 4)
Up to four SCM820-DAN mixers can
network together by daisy-chain. This is
only supported in Switched network mode
(default).
Direct to Computer
Connect the Primary port directly to a
computer.
Warning: Do Not Make a Network Loop
Avoid the following setups that will render the
network unusable:
