Changing the ID
1.
Power-off the CL series console.
2.
Power-cycle the I/O rack units.
3.
After waiting for approximately one minute, turn on the power of the CL series
console.
NOTE
• If you are unable to turn off the power of the CL series console, disconnect the Ethernet cable
from the DANTE connector of the I/O racks, and power-cycle the I/O racks while they are
disconnected from the network. Then wait approximately one minute and connect the Ethernet
cable.
• The SECONDARY PORT and CONSOLE ID settings will not be changed even if you initialize the
CL series console.
Setting the Dante audio network latency
An appropriate latency setting for signals transmitted over a Dante audio network varies depending on
the network connection method and size. This section explains how to set an appropriate latency
setting depending on the connection method of Dante-enabled devices that are connected to the CL
series console.
■ Relationship between the switches and the number of hops
An appropriate latency setting on a Dante audio network varies depending on the number of hops in
the network. One hop is the step from one router (switch) to the next. You count the number of hops
starting from the master device to the most distant device (assuming that all devices are connected in
series).
Switches mean network switches and routers, as well as switches built into CL series consoles and I/O
racks. Set the latency value based on the number of hops. The following table shows typical latency
settings based on the number of hops.
Number of hops
Up to 3
Up to 5
Up to 10
11 or more (or if a problem occurs)
NOTE
• Depending on network conditions, you may want to raise the latency value even if the number of
hops is small.
• If a problem occurs, select 5.0 ms so that you will be able to identify whether the latency setting
is the cause of the problem.
Latency (ms)
