Dante Network Setup - Extron electronics AXI 22 AT Setup Manual

Dante Network Setup

Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the AXI to a network via the RJ-45 AT (PoE) port (see
power the device. Launch the Dante Controller program.
Dante Controller auto-discovers all Dante devices on the network and advertises itself to allow other Dante-enabled devices to
communicate with it. The default device name is the model name followed by the last six characters of the device MAC address.
Multiple devices on the same network can present difficulty in identifying inputs and outputs. To avoid confusion, rename each
device to a unique and meaningful identifier.
NOTE:
To simplify setup, connect only one Dante device to the network at a time.
Finding a Dante Device IP Address
To find the IP address of a Dante device, the name of the device needs to be known (see
on page 5).
NOTE:
If the AXI has not been renamed, its default name consists of the product name followed by a hyphen (AXI22-) plus
the last 6 characters of the device MAC address (for example, AXI22-0744c1). Obtain the media access code (MAC)
address of the desired device from the white label on the rear panel of the device.
