Getting Started

This device features a browser-based web application, which controls audio and network properties. Upon completing this basic setup process, you will be able
to:
Access the web application to customize audio settings and network properties
Use Dante™ Controller software to connect with other Dante devices and pass audio
Access additional configuration information
Step 1: Connect to a Network
1. Use an Ethernet cable (CAT5e or higher) to connect the ANI22 to a network switch.
Note: The network switch must provide Power over Ethernet (PoE). Make sure to connect to a PoE port, since many switches do not supply power on all
ports.
2. Connect a computer to the network switch with an Ethernet cable
