Installation
Dante hardware devices, like your OPTIMOD, are set to obtain their IP address automatically from the network. They
will either:
•
Automatically assign themselves an address in the range 169.254.*.* (172.31.*.* for the secondary network if
present), or
•
Obtain an IP address from a DHCP server if it is present on the network
Your PC or Mac TCP/IP network configuration set should be set to "Obtain an IP address automatically." This way it
will automatically acquire a Link Local automatic IP address in the same network as other Dante devices. If a DHCP
server is present, the computer and Dante devices will all acquire their IP addresses via DHCP. Alternatively, you may
assign static IP addresses for the primary and secondary networks via Dante Controller. If you do so, be sure to
record them so you can connect to your network in the future.
The 5750 can be operated in REDUNDANT or SWITCHED modes:
•
Redundant: When a device is set to REDUNDANT, the device will duplicate Dante audio traffic to both Ethernet
ports, allowing the implementation of a redundant network via the secondary port.
•
Switched: When a device is set to SWITCHED, the secondary Ethernet Port will behave a standard switch portal,
allowing daisy-chaining through the 5750.
