A physical network is required to share Dante audio channels between Dante-enabled
devices like the DMP 128 FlexPlus. Other Dante-enabled devices must be on the same
physical network in order to communicate via Dante. A daisy chain topology can be used to
connect multiple devices.
Daisy Chain topology has DMP 128 FlexPlus units connected in succession.

NOTE: The daisy chain topology only functions in switched mode. It is not possible to
use in redundant mode.
In redundant mode, the 2-port AT switch becomes separate primary and secondary ports
that duplicate audio traffic. Port 1 is marked
2 3 4
for secondary (see figure 181 below). Primary and secondary switches/ports cannot
(SEC)
be connected together anywhere in the audio network. Redundant configuration can be
enabled using Dante Controller or DSP Configurator.
