Star network topology places one DMP 128 C AT as the central unit, which connects directly to up to three more units. Alternatively, a larger network switch in place of the central DMP 128 AT, allows more than four NetPA ATs to connect in the star configuration. NetPA 502 AT NetP NetPA 50... -
Page 21: Starting Dante Controller
Starting Dante Controller To launch Dante Controller from the computer start menu, select: All Programs > Audinate > Dante Controller > Dante Controller screen opens. Dante Controller - Network View If the network has a DHCP server, it receives its IP configuration using the standard DHCP protocol. -
Page 22: Device Name
Device Name The default device name of the NetPA AT consists of its model name, followed by the last six digits of its MAC address (for example, NetPA 063f70 Multiple devices on the same network can present difficulty identifying inputs and outputs. To avoid confusion, rename each device to a unique identifier immediately after you connect it (see on page 19). - Page 23 The Dante Controller - Device View dialog opens. Select your device from the drop-down list. (Select a Dante Device...) NOTES: • If there are multiple NetPA ATs connected to the network that have not been renamed, to identify an individual device you must obtain the MAC address of the desired device from the label on the rear panel.
- Page 24 Click to enter the new name, then close the Device Configuration dialog. The new name is written to the NetPA AT. Repeat as necessary for all NetPA AT devices. NOTE: After the NetPA AT is renamed, it can remain connected to the network. However, subsequent devices must be connected one at a time and renamed before the next device is connected.

Page 25: Renaming An Input
Renaming an Input If the devices are not properly named, Dante network connection points can quickly become unmanageable in large systems. To better organize the various inputs, it is recommended you name each input using descriptions of the device they belong to, the location of the device, or the purpose of the input. - Page 26 To rename an input From the menu on the screen, select Device Network View Device View. Alternatively, press <Ctrl+D> on the keyboard. From the drop-down menu, select the name of your NetPA AT. Select a Dante Device Figure 10.

Indicates a pending connection. Indicates a broken connection (subscription). Indicates the transmitting device has been removed from the network or is switched off. See the Dante Controller User Guide, available at the Audinate website, for additional information. NOTE: After making changes to Dante network routing such as connections (subscriptions), device names, or channel labels, wait at least 5 seconds before disconnecting or powering down the devices. - Page 29 Ensure the control computer and NetPA AT are connected to the same network. From the start menu select All Programs > Audinate > Dante Controller > Dante . The Dante Controller - Network View screen opens. Controller Dante Controller auto-discovers Dante devices on the network and advertises itself to allow other Dante-enabled devices to communicate with it.

Page 33: Dante Troubleshooting
Dante Troubleshooting The most common Dante troubleshooting issues occur when no devices are discovered by the Dante Controller software, or routing is not successful or is prevented. 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. - Page 34 Additional Troubleshooting For further help, see Dante Troubleshooting in the Dante help file. To access the Dante help file, do any of the following: • figure Click the icon in the upper-right corner of the Dante screen (see , in the Help following figure).

Page 35: Resetting The Netpa At
Resetting the NetPA AT The NetPA AT utilizes DHCP addressing by default. A recessed reset button on the rear panel (see figure 2 on page 6) initiates a reset mode. Reset will set the IP addressing mode to DHCP (Dante default), clear the previous IP address, and reset the device name to default. -

Page 37: Rack Shelf Mounting
Rack Shelf Mounting For rack mounting, do not install the rubber feet. The NetPA AT can be mounted on a 19 inch Universal 1U or Basic rack shelf. To rack mount the NetPA AT on a rack shelf: If rubber feet are installed on the bottom of the NetPA AT, remove them. Mount the NetPA AT on the rack shelf, using two 4-40 x 3/16 inch screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to secure the unit to the shelf. -
Page 38: Under-Desk Mounting
Under-desk Mounting The table or wall mounting brackets extend approximately 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) above the top surface of the enclosure. This design allows for an air space between the enclosure and the surface to which it is mounted. Mount the NetPA AT under a desk or table as follows: Attach the MBU 125 brackets. -
Page 39: Defeatable Auto Power-Down Timer
Defeatable Auto Power-down Timer The auto power-down timer determines whether or not the NetPA AT enters standby mode. The amplifier powers down if the input signal remains below the input signal detection threshold for about 25 minutes. The timer resets whenever the input signal exceeds the input signal detection threshold. Resetting the timer starts a new 25-minute countdown until the amplifier powers down. - Page 40 The circuit board nearest the rear of the NetPA AT has a jumper to enable or disable the power-down timer. By default, the jumper is set to enable (the jumper set on the leftmost pins). Setting the jumper on the rightmost pins disables the power-down timer. ATTENTION: Do not touch the electronic components or the connectors on the backplane or on the circuit boards without being electrically grounded.
