Aes67 Mode; Dante Troubleshooting; Simplifying The Network For Troubleshooting - Extron electronics DMP 128 Plus User Manual

AES67 Mode

The AT models of the DMP Plus series support the AES67 audio over IP interoperability standard. This feature
allows audio transport to and from other AES67-compatible devices, such as the Extron NAV series.
To enable AES67 mode:
1. Open Dante Controller and double-click the Dante device name in the Routing tab to open Device View.
2. Click on the AES67 Config tab. The configuration screen opens (see figure 37).
3. Select Enabled from the drop-down list (
4. Click the Reboot button (
AES67.
To create an AES67 Multicast Flow:
1. Open Dante Controller and double-click the Dante device
name in the Routing tab to open Device View.
2. Click the Create a new multicast flow button.
3. In the Flow Config section, click the AES67 radio button.
4. In the Flow Config section, select Auto or Manual
Destination Address. If manual is selected, enter the
destination address.
5. Check the box for each channel to be included in the Multicast
Flow.
6. Click Create.

Dante Troubleshooting

The most common Dante troubleshooting issues occur when devices are not discovered by Dante Controller or
when routing is not successful. Both issues occur when software is not able to properly discover devices
operating on the Dante network.
Before moving into more difficult troubleshooting, shut down Dante Controller and reseat the Ethernet cable
connecting the PC to the Dante network and restart Dante Controller. This can be enough for the software to
reacquire the Dante network.
If the problem persists, perform the following troubleshooting procedures in the order listed.

Simplifying the Network for Troubleshooting

If further troubleshooting of Dante Controller is necessary, begin by simplifying the network:
1. Bypass network switches by connecting two Dante-compatible units, such as a DMP 128 Plus AT and an
AXI 44 AT, via their AT ports.
2. Connect the PC to an unused AT port with an Ethernet cable.
3. Use Dante Controller to check if the issue was resolved before moving on to network interface
troubleshooting.
4. If the issue is resolved, add connections and hardware one at a time, checking for proper operation after each
addition, until the point of failure is discovered (typically a bad cable or invalid redundant configuration).
