Creating a Physical Dante Network

A physical network is required to share Dante audio channels
among Dante-enabled devices like those found in the NetPA
U 8001 SUB. Other devices capable of sending and receiving
audio over a Dante network must be on the same physical
network in order to communicate with Dante (see figure 7 on
the right for an example of a Dante network).
