Page 23: Mic/Line Inputs
Mic/Line Inputs The AXI 22 AT has two mic/line inputs and two AT outputs and the AXI 44 AT has four mic/line inputs and four AT outputs. The AXI mic/line inputs feed the AT outputs which transmit signal to the Dante network and appear on the Dante network as Transmitter channels. -
Page 24: Analog Outputs
Analog Outputs The AXI 22 AT has two AT Inputs and two analog line outputs and the AXI 44 AT has four AT inputs and four analog line outputs. The AXI line outputs are fed by the AT inputs which receive audio from the Dante network and are listed on the Dante network as Receiver channels. -

Page 30: Finding A Dante Device Ip Address
To find the IP address of a Dante device, the name of the device is needed (see Renaming the AXI 22 AT or AXI 44 AT in Dante Controller on page 20). NOTE: If the AXI has not been renamed, its default name consists of the product name followed by a hyphen, plus the last 6 characters of the Dante device MAC address (for example, AXI44-0a690b). -
Page 31: Identifying A Physical Dante Device
A physical network is required to share Dante audio channels among Dante-enabled devices like the AXI 22 AT and AXI 44 AT. Other devices capable of sending and receiving audio over a Dante network must be on the same physical network in order to communicate via Dante (see figure 25 for an example of a physical Dante network). -
