User Manual for ALP-DANTE
You may need to reboot the computers if they have active previous IP network
configurations. All devices will automatically be assigned IP network configurations.
UNSUPPORTED DANTE NETWORK
Configurations Straight-through connection to another Dante enabled device
Because the ALP-DANTE is a dedicated audio interface, Dante Controller must connect to the
network via the standard network adapter on the computer. Because of this, do not make a
'straight-through' connection from the ALP-DANTE to another Dante-enabled device.
Connecting Primary and Secondary redundant networks to the same network switch
When using Dante redundancy with any Dante-enabled device, two separate networks must be
used. You CANNOT connect any secondary network connections to a network switch used for
the primary network, or any primary network connections to a network switch used for the
secondary network.
Dante Audio Data over Wireless Networks
Wireless Ethernet networks should not be used to carry Dante audio data, and Dante
Controller installed on a PC or Mac will not allow selection of Wireless Ethernet interface or
any other non-standard wired Ethernet interface. You should NOT install any wireless
components in your Dante network.
Use of 100Mbps Network interface
The use of a 100 Mbps Ethernet device with the ALP-DANTE card is NOT SUPPORTED. You
must connect the ALP-DANTE to Gigabit interfaces: Gigabit Ethernet network switch,
Gigabit network interface on a PC or Mac.
