Physical Dante Network Setup; Redundant Configuration - Extron electronics DMP 64 Plus User Manual

Physical Dante Network Setup

A physical network is required to share Dante audio channels between Dante-enabled
devices like the DMP 64 Plus. Other Dante-enabled devices must be on the same physical
network in order to communicate via Dante. A daisy chain topology can be used to connect
multiple devices.
Daisy Chain topology has DMP 64 Plus units connected in succession (see figure 33).
Figure 33.
NOTE: The daisy chain topology only functions in switched mode. It is not possible to

Redundant Configuration

In redundant mode, the 2-port AT switch (see figure 2,
separate primary and secondary ports that duplicate audio traffic. Port 1 is marked (PRI)
PoE+ for primary while port 2 is marked (SEC) for secondary (see figure 183 below).
Primary and secondary switches/ports cannot be connected together anywhere in the
audio network. Redundant configuration can be enabled using Dante Controller or DSP
Configurator.
