AUDIOWAY BRIDGE B1, B2, B3
7.3.2
Redundant Mode
Dante device can also work in a redundant mode. When this mode is enabled, two separated Dante network
are created. Theses networks are usually called "Primary" and "Secondary" networks. This mode allows you
to reach the maximum security in a Dante network.
Important note: When in redundant mode, Primary and Secondary networks should NEVER be
connected together. If so, the whole network will fail! Please always ensure that your devices are in
the right mode and properly wired before adding them to the network.
When in redundant mode, AWc-DANTE connectors act as follow:
-
Primary: Primary network
-
Secondary: Secondary network
-
Port3: Primary network (switched with Primary port)
-
Port4: Secondary network (switched with Secondary port)
In following examples, Primary network is represented in Dark-Red, and Secondary network in Orange.
The redundant mode is Dante proprietary, hence not AES67 compliant.
7.3.2.1 Redundant mode without external switch
Thanks to AWc-DANTE 4 Ethernet ports, you can build small redundant networks without the need of any
external switch. This may save costs when cable-redundancy is needed.
Primary network
is duplicated on port 3
