Choosing Networks for Shure Control and Dante Audio
This software sends 2 types of data over the network: Shure control data and Dante audio data. You can use the same NIC
(network interface card) for both, or use 2 different NICs to separate the traffic.
During installation, you will be asked to choose a network for each one.
Shure control NIC:
•
Choose the network that Designer uses.
•
Used for device discovery and control
Dante audio NIC:
•
Choose the same network as other Dante devices to send audio between devices.
•
Cannot use Wi-Fi
•
Used to carry Dante digital audio
To change the NICs after installation, click the IntelliMix Room icon in the system tray of the computer running IntelliMix Room.
To change Designer's NIC, go to Settings.
