3. Go to the Device Info tab in Dante Controller.
4. Double-click your SCM820 device.
5. Select the Network Configuration tab.
6. Use the Addresses section to specify static IP.
7. The mixer will reboot once the selection is confirmed.
8. Repeat for each mixer.
Warning: Do not reconnect mixers to the network until the network configuration is the same for all units.
Note: Use caution when operating a Link Group in a Redundant network. If a Link Group goes down, there will be temporary audio loss on both ports while
the group reconfigures.
Configuring a 100 Mbps Dante network
Gigabit equipment is strongly recommended for Dante network. If this is not possible, configure the 100 Mbps network with the
following guidelines:
• Ensure the router has QoS enabled
• Latency settings are set to at least 1 ms
Caution: Do not form Link groups on a 100Mbps network, as this will cause increased traffic and will exceed the network bandwidth.
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.
The latency setting for Dante devices should be set according to the number of switches in the network. The SCM820 network
card has an internal switch chip and counts as a switch. For example, one SCM820 connected to an external switch equals two
switches.
Go to Dante Controller to change the setting.
1. Disconnect the mixer from the network.
2. Connect the Primary port of the mixer directly to a computer.
3. Go to the Device Info tab in Dante Controller.
4. Double-click your SCM820 device.
5. Select Device Configuration tab.
6. Select the desired Device latency.
7. The mixer will reboot once the selection is confirmed.
8. Repeat for each mixer.
Warning: Do not reconnect mixers to the network until the network configuration is the same for all units.
