Creating a Physical Dante Network

A physical network is required to share Dante audio channels among Dante-enabled devices like the AXI 22 AT D Plus. Other devices
capable of sending and receiving audio over a Dante network must be on the same physical network in order to communicate via Dante (see
figure 5 for an example of a physical Dante Network).

Dante Network Setup

Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the AXI 22 AT D Plus to a network via the AT (PoE) port (see
the device. Launch the Dante Controller program.
Dante Controller auto-discovers all Dante devices on the network and advertises itself to allow other Dante-enabled devices to communicate
with it. The default name consists of the product name followed by a hyphen (

avoid confusion, rename each device with a unique and meaningful identifier.
Renaming a Dante Device
NOTE: It is essential that Dante devices are named immediately after they are connected to the Dante network and before audio
subscriptions with other devices are established. Existing subscriptions (audio connections) are removed when a device is renamed.
