    Network Control Software The ULX-D receivers can be controlled by Shure Control (WWB6) for remote management and monitoring and the Dante Controller to manage digital audio routing. Signals for AMX and Crestron controllers are carried on the same network as Shure Control.

  • Page 16: Overview Of Dante Network Modes

    Three selectable Dante network modes are available to control signal routing from the receiver ports to the Dante network. Network Mode Port Function and Signals Application Secondary Primary SWITCHED Shure Control Shure Control For single network Installations of star or daisy-chained networks. Dante Audio and Control Dante Audio and Control REDUNDANT Dante Redundant Audio Shure Control Primary and Secondary ports are configured are 2 separate networks.

  • Page 20: Assigning Network Device Ids For Shure Control And Dante Control

    Assigning Network Device IDs for Shure Control and Dante Control When using the receiver in a network with Shure Control (WWB6) and a Dante Controller, two Device IDs are required: one for Shure Control and one for Dante Control. Device IDs are used to identify devices on the network and for creating Dante digital audio routes.

  • Page 21: Configuring Audio Routes With The Dante Controller

    In order for audio to flow in the network, audio routes (subscriptions) must be configured between transmitters and receivers. Note: ULX-D receivers will appear in the Dante controller as a Transmitter. Devices that have both inputs and outputs commonly appear as both transmitters and receivers.

  • Page 22: Restoring Dante Factory Settings

    Caution! Performing a reset on either the Dante network card or on the ULX-D receiver will interrupt the Dante audio. Tip: Prior to performing a factory reset, note the current Dante network mode and IP settings. After a reset, the Dante network mode reverts to SWITCHED, and the IP address mode revert to AUTO.
