Device Name; Receiver And Transmitter Names; Dante Controller Naming Conventions - Extron electronics DMP 128 Plus User Manual

Device Name

Multiple devices on the same Dante network can present difficulty in identifying individual devices. To avoid
confusion and difficulty, ensure the following steps are taken:
•
Connect devices to the Dante network one at a time.
•
Rename each device before making audio connections in Dante Controller.
•
Rename each device with a unique and meaningful identifier.
•
Rename each device before the next device is connected to the Dante network.
ATTENTION:
•
It is essential that a Dante device be named before audio subscriptions with other devices are
established. Existing subscriptions are removed when a device is renamed.
• Il est essentiel qu'un appareil Dante soit nommé avant l'établissement des abonnements audio avec
d'autres appareils. Les abonnements existants sont supprimés lorsqu'un appareil est renommé.
In Dante Controller, a device can be renamed to identify the device on the audio network. The default device
name of the DMP 128 Plus AT consists of the model name, followed by the last six characters of the Dante
interface MAC address (for example, DMP128P-0ee8ee). In addition to renaming the device, individual Transmitter
(Tx) and Receiver (Rx) channels can be renamed.
The Dante device name must be set before making any connections to other devices on the Dante network.
Renaming a device after making connections removes existing connections to and from that device. Refer to
Renaming the DMP 128 Plus AT in Dante Controller

Receiver and Transmitter Names

In addition to renaming a device, individual transmitter and receiver channels can be renamed in Dante Controller.
Rename transmitter and receiver channels to reflect the location of the device or the purpose of the transmitter or
receiver. Ensure transmitter and receiver channels are renamed before making audio connections between
devices. Refer to Renaming a Receiver or Transmitter
