By default these are fed from an internal Single Mode transceiver (Multi Mode is available as an option). - Page 11 4. AES I/O & GPIO This D9 socket provides 1 x AES3 input & output (2 channels of audio). The sample rate of this AES3 circuit matches (and is locked to) the Dante network. A Pair of general purpose outputs (GPO) and a pair of general purpose inputs (GPI) are also provided.

Page 47: Fixed Audio Mixing Circuits
To help with setup and fault finding an internal oscillator provides a fixed 1kHz audio tone at -18dBFs. This is permanently routed to network audio output number 13. For test purposes this audio can be routed within the network back to the Paradiso or any other device for use for testing purposes. -
Page 48: Connecting The Paradiso To A Dante Network
CONNECTING THE PARADISO TO A DANTE NETWORK The Paradiso is a network audio device utilizing the reliable and versatile Dante audio over IP protocol. Dante is a proprietary system (although very widely used) the originators of which are Audinate. The information below is only meant as a very basic guide. Full details of the power of Dante network audio and instructions for using it can be found at www.audinate.com... - Page 49 Where ‘Paradiso-ob7a2c’ refers to the Glensound product i.e. Paradiso and its MAC address (which is actually the MAC address of the Dante Brooklyn module). The ‘–serial-125’ refers to the serial number of the Paradiso which can be found printed on the rear of the unit.

Page 50: Device Not Showing Up In Dante Controller
Device Not Showing Up In Dante Controller If your Dante device does not show up in Dante Controller then the most likely issue is that the device’s IP Address is not appropriate for your network. A) It maybe that the device is set to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP (this is the default configuration) and your network is setup for fixed IP addresses only and does not have a DHCP server. -
