Page 7: Single Domain Mode
TeamConnect Bar 3.4. Single Domain Mode This mode is usually used if you want to use both the controller (Sennheiser or third-party provider) and Dante on the same physical port with only one available IP in the same network. To set up both configurations, you need the Sennheiser Control Cockpit for the control network and the Dante Controller for other routed Sennheiser devices. - Page 8 Make sure you always connect the TC Bar M to two different networks that do not run via a common switch. • The other port is used to connect routed Sennheiser devices (e.g. TCC M) • Any extensions connected can be managed both via the Dante Controller and via the Control Cockpit, as the Bar M forwards the flows using the integrated switch.

Page 9: Dual Domain Mode
Network Guide TeamConnect Bar 3.5. Dual Domain Mode This mode is generally used if you receive a merged flow from two separate networks via a single network line and you want to resolve this merged flow back into two different IP and MAC addresses. - Page 10 Network Guide TeamConnect Bar TC Bar M • Both Ethernet ports can be used to address the TC Bar both via the Control Cockpit and via the Dante Controller. In this case, one IP is available for Dante and one IP for Cockpit.
