Configuring IP Settings
IP configurations are managed through the web application or Shure Designer software. By default, they are set to Automatic
(DHCP) mode. DHCP mode enables the devices to accept IP settings from a DHCP server, or automatically fall back to Link-
Local settings when no DHCP is available. IP addresses may also be manually set.
To configure the IP properties, follow these steps:
1. Open the web application or Shure Designer software. In Designer, open the device's configuration window.
2. Go to the Settings tab and select Network.
3. Select Auto or Manual. If Auto is used, addresses will be automatically assigned. For Manual setup, follow the instruc­
tions on manual configuration.
Manually Assigning Static IP Address
To manually assign IP addresses, follow these steps:
1. Open the web application or Shure Designer software. In Designer, open the device's configuration window.
2. Go to the Settings tab and select Network.
3. Select Manual as the Configure IP setting.
4. Enter the IP settings.
Setting Latency
Latency is the amount of time for a signal to travel across the system to the outputs of a device. To account for variances in la­
tency time between devices and channels, Dante has a predetermined selection of latency settings. When the same setting is
selected, it ensures that all Dante devices on the network are in sync.
These latency values should be used as a starting point. To determine the exact latency to use for your setup, deploy the set­
up, send Dante audio between your devices, and measure the actual latency in your system using Audinate's Dante Controller
software. Then round up to the nearest latency setting available, and use that one.
Use Audinate's Dante Controller software to change latency settings.

Operating the Control Software over Wi-Fi
When operating the web application over Wi­Fi, it's important to set up the wireless router properly for best performance. The
system employs several standard­based protocols that rely on multicast. Wi­Fi treats broadcast and multicast packets different­
ly than general packets for backward compatibility reasons. In some cases, the Wi­Fi router will limit the multicast packet trans­
mission rate to a value that is too slow for web application to properly operate.
Wi-Fi routers typically support 802.11b, 802.11a/g, and/or 802.11n standards. By default, many Wi-Fi routers are configured to
allow older 802.11b devices to operate over the network. In this configuration, these routers will automatically limit the multicast
data rates (or sometimes referred to as 'basic rate', or 'management rate') to 1­2Mbps.
Note: A Wi-Fi connection can only be used for the control software. Network audio cannot be transmitted over Wi-Fi.
