    9-12 and 13-16 as shown in the graphic opposite. In “BYPASS” mode, the network switch is still fully operative (for example for use in control traffic), and the DS10 is shown in Dante Controller. However, no Dante routing is allowed from or into the device, and the device does not participate in the Dante master clock algorithm (i.e., it cannot act as Clock Master).

    3.4.4. ETH1 - ETH4 The DS10 provides a 5-port Ethernet switch for different network topologies, redundancy and advanced functions. Four connectors (ETH1 - ETH4) are provided on the front panel while a fifth port (ETH 5) is provided on the rear panel.

    Dante Controller, the SYNC ERROR LED will flash rapidly for 2 seconds. This allows you to physically identify each DS10 when there is more than one device on the network (for more details, please refer to the Dante Controller User Guide).

    AES channels to be used if more than four AES channels are required. 3.6. Meta data The DS10 sends meta data (Dante channel labels, cabling information...) via the AES3 outputs alongside the digital audio samples, using the AES3 User bits.

    2. Connect the two digital outputs at the front of the DS10 to the digital inputs D1/2 and D3/4 of the I/O panel. 3. Connect the ETH 3 port of the DS10 to the ETH 1 port of the I/O panel in order to bridge the R1 control for the amplifiers over the Dante network.

    5. Application examples In the following sections some example network topologies are described, each with the recommended DS10 switch modes. These examples are for illustration purposes only, and do not aim to cover every possible application, nor describe comprehensive PA Systems.
  • Page 16: Redundant

    If one fails, audio will continue to pass without any kind of interruption on the other network. Note: For remote control, applicable d&b amplifiers will normally be connected to the Primary network. Redundant control of applicable d&b amplifiers is not supported. d&b DS10 Manual 1.5 en...

    Switch mode configuration: "Switched". The DS10 can also be used as a break-in box with a maximum of four AES3 Input channels per DS10 (additional DS10 can be used, if more channels are required at the FoH). A star wired configuration is shown below, but the same principles apply to a Redundant configuration.

    However, this can also filter out some desired multicast traffic, such as mDNS (aka Bonjour), which is required by R1 V2 in order to detect applicable d&b amplifiers on the network. d&b DS10 Manual 1.5 en...
